Another Flybarless 3D

[fr8brkr]

With thanks to HC and the crew at Blacksheep this weekend another 3D 50 Knight is ripping up the skies without a flybar !! It took a number of set-up trial and errors but it's now locked in and flies great. Takes a little getting used to but might even make a below average pilot like myself look like I know what I'm doing.

Did you use a mikado T-Rex 600 conversion kit or how did you modify the head. I want to convert as well. Greetings

Used the 4018 swash driver and had a friend machine the blade grip extensions. Compass is coming out with a conversion kit, metal blades and head shaft less the flybar arm hole. You can also use Mikado grips available at Espirit Models.

Hehehe... Flybar less.... Sounds like another prodject in the work's. Might wait to get the compass head part's though.

tradehunt its actually pretty cool looking but from what i hear they are hard to land eh Bill?? :wow2:

[Tradhunt]

Ya I guess I should think that one over for a while.... But I'm thinking it would be nice for one of the other K3d airframe's I got sitting here... I landed the 600E it was just a but harder and sooner then planned...

With some smooth talking I convinced sir Erickson from Erickson's flight school to let me fly his flybarless knight. It flew like a knight on staroids. It was NICE!!!!

Any news on when Compass will release the flybarless head conversion?

yes it is.

I have seen Bill make some pretty wild moves with his flybarless knight, very impressive & seems real smooth...

Its just a shame the electronics are so expensive...
I guess when it gets more popular the prices will become more reasonable.

there rumours of cheaper Flybarless electronics coming out soon...;-) lets all hold thumbs!

[Max2342]

well 360$ for the SK-360 is not that much (but you have to have already the gyro). I got a crash with mine and i have to say that i spent only few $$ on replacements because there is no flybar so this might be a good return of investment :-)

I'm gonna order the V-Bar for my K3D. Might get one for the 600E as well....

Hi guys,

A while ago it was mentioned that Compass was coming out with a conversion kit, metal blades grips and head shaft less the flybar arm hole. Anyone know when we can we expect this release?
