Mikado Latest V Bar "Silver Line Edition" Unboxing and Comparison

[mahathyr]

Voodoo is cool, very cool. Smooth , quiet and very predictable. I agreed bringing notebook is a pain....I don't do that anymore with SK540 , using control panel and found myself not touching it since I brought it.....Some of you flying buddy in SIngapore are venturing into VBAR governance....i am betting that they will likeit more then Kontronik...one even said to me no need to pay high JIVE $ ESC anymore. Am using hobbywing now on both my Voodoo with SK540 governance....and I have to say it is much better for me then Jive.

I'll invest in the control panel for the Vbar soon. Maybe that will help me a lot with the ease of tweaking the bird at the field. Anyways take care and happy flying.

Looks like my greatest fear has been reconfirmed once again.. Currently running Vbar with helijive 120hv on Mode 4... Seems to be overshooting the mark during spool up.. Once that's over however, the heli holds perfectly... Testing out the Vbar governor at the moment, attending vbar101 lessons by Vbar guru MrMel on YouTube... He makes me feel like I am back in school again haha..

I love the Vbar Analyser the most!!! Just yesterday I was testing my DIY Vbar Bluetooth module and I detected vibs of 9k rpm once the head speed of the heli reaches 1400rpm
After a little debugging, I found the problem to be a loose bearing in the torque tube I forgot to tighten properly.. Fixed that and everything is as perfect as ever...

So xuen7, what's the difference n advantage of this silver line 5.3??

In short, it seems to be able to react better during windy conditions keeping the heli more stable in the air.. and i believe this function will be much more obvious if you also use the vbar governor... although this might just be a placebo effect, but a veteran vbar user should be able to feel the difference straight away..

i cant do 3d yet therefore unable to comment on flight capabilities during 3d flight..

Too bad I am a hobbywing fans now a days.

Kontronik servicing is getting way way too complacent also
