I'd be interested in a features comparison between VBar, IKon, Spirit, and others. Also, Spektrum vs V Control vs Jetti vs Futaba.

@westhobbiesrc8051 Жыл бұрын

I definitely wanna do a video on that! Only issue is I don’t have a jetti or a Futaba radio. And I don’t have a few different FBLs that are on the market. I’m trying to see if I can borrow a Radio and FBL‘s for video purposes.

Good stuff Jeff thanks... I have my Evo's in the metal Doug Darby case but I went ahead and did this fix to be extra safe.

@westhobbiesrc8051 Жыл бұрын

Thank you! How is that case? I have a NEO in a metal case but no EVO’s. I really hope the next batch of EVO’s this issue is fixed!

@@westhobbiesrc8051 beautiful case, Doug did a nice job. Very tight tolerances and a nice rubberized sleeve that holds the board. I agree and I think Mikado will. I also think they should switch to metal cases exclusively going forward

You're right Jeff, Mikado should have caught this before release - loads of Nitro guys are crashing heli's because of this. I for one will be sticking to the Neo and not upgrading to the EVO until the issue is fixed properly.

@westhobbiesrc8051 Жыл бұрын

I 100% agree. This should have been caught in the testing phases. I know a lot of Nitro guys are having major issues. And crashing because of it. I really hope they get this issue, resolved as there is so much potential here that can really hurt them if not taken care of.

I emailed Mikado, they arent sending out anymore EVO units as of now because they are working on a hardware fix. So they are in the process of fixing it for good luckily

man! I just got mine and was hoping the new ones were fixed, but no, I tried it out on a Raw 500 ive been flying on a 6250, and I had pages of vibration reports. So I will give this a try. Any and all V bar videos will be greatly appreciated! I just hate learning a new system, but it was definitely easy to set up. I fly pinching, and the radio switches are going to take some time to get used to. Im not selling my Spektrum 6250's just yet LOL! I must be used to my sticky NX8 gimbals cause I was all over the place with the V bar's. They are so smooth I can't feel them. Anyway, I'm sure I will love it, but ya this stuff is really expensive to have this sort of issue. I wish Spektrum would simplify the 6250. how they went from BeastX with three little potentiometer screws to the 6250 PID system is beyond me.

@westhobbiesrc8051 6 ай бұрын

Vibration reports is normal, you won’t you need to do this. The Vbar EVO has super sensitive chips and it picks up anything. It’s not actually a problem. The new EVOs have a different chip then what was used in this video. But you can still try this if you like, I have not done it on any of my new ones. The Vcontrol system is awesome! Sooo much different then your NX8 and 6250 setup.

Hi great video...but will this invalidate the warrenty....can i send mine back to Mikado

@westhobbiesrc8051 3 ай бұрын

Thank you. Mikado is the one that told everyone to do this on the first Gen EVO (since then now fixed) so I would assume no.

If I were to order a Vbar Evo today, would I need to worry about this still?

@westhobbiesrc8051 5 ай бұрын

No, you don’t. I honestly didn’t even see a difference between this on the V1 and V2 EVOs. All the ones sold now are V2.

i would of tried a pad of double sided tape first? Also,could you imagine sending that back for warrenty issue and being told,,,,,sorry there is a load of hot glue in there ,warrenty void? that would suck!

@westhobbiesrc8051 Жыл бұрын

The hot glue was told to be done by mikado. But it can always be removed very easily with a little bit of rubbing alcohol or heat.

It only spools up 3/4 of the joy stick and one speed only full power Iv missed something im sure but don't know what it is ahhhhhh

what is that black glue you use to put on the servo connectors so they stay put?

@westhobbiesrc8051 Жыл бұрын

It is black fabric paint from Amazon. It is four dollars a bottle.

Hi Jeff, hope you are well, I do I connect a iX12 to my PC to use the fly sim you recommended, is it just a USB or a special lead !

@westhobbiesrc8051 Жыл бұрын

Hello! I am good, hope all is well with you. I would recommend using the USB dongle. You would set up a model file in your transmitter just like you would for a helicopter and bind it to the dongle and you are good to go. Wireless transmitter for your flight simulator.
