V1 to V2 worth a trade?

bigdessert · 08-07-2012, 03:40 PM

I have a V1 board and have absolutely zero plans to go brushless. I have replaced 1 capacitor and have the tail wires soldered directly to contacts on board.

I have read that V2 is more stable with all stock, but is more touchy with brushless.

Would it make any sense to post for a trade in the classifieds so I get a more stable V2 for my stock and someone that wants brushless gets a V1?

Can someone summarize for me exactly what the diff is between the v1 and v2 boards with respect to brushless?

I'll try to answer both.
First: I dont think it's worth trading from a v1 to a v2.
Second: The v2 got an upgraded gyro system which was supposed to increase tail authority(I could be wrong). But the downfall is a v2 is more sensitive towards vibration. When you go brushless and obtain insane headspeeds, the SLIGHTEST imbalance will wreak havoc on the flybarless system.

What I've gathered:
V1: analog piezo gyros, lower main throttle to tail throttle mix, higher pwm frequency for main motor
V2: digital mems gyros, higher mix from main to tail, lower pwm frequency for main motor

Translation: gyro is more sensitive to vibration in v2, the tail tends to hold better stock because of increased sensitivity and better main->tail mix, and v2 works adequately with pnp brushless kits because of the main motor signal difference

Sorry, what does pnp stand for?

Agree with posters above.

My V2 when new would not blow out tail with abrupt, aggressive movement of both sticks to stops. It did have a tail more sensitive to the helicopter being adjusted just right (main blade tightness, for example) to prevent wag or random movements (jerks) of the tail.

Now, with several hundred flights and KBDD main blades I have to be gentle on the sticks to prevent blow out. It handles just like I remember the V1. To get a better tail I likely need to go back to the stock blades and replace the main motor. When I finally broke my stock blades and replaced my stock blades with KBDD blades I noticed a definite increase in bogging and tail blow out.

IMHO I've enjoyed adding a V2 to the fleet, but that was before the 130X was out.
