| Seems to be some confusion about what a Vbar is and what it does... I'm not a expert at all but for me there is a big difference between a virtual flybar or a self stabilizing device. IMHO A virtual flybar system is primarily designed to replace a flybar, that's it... pros: lighter, less mechanical friction, more precise, better and easier to make adjustments (once familiar with it ), low parts count, less wear, more efficient and less drag resulting in longer flight times... cons: not many.. They are way to expensive IMO.
A virtual stabilizer, with IR or without(gyros), is designed to level the heli, make it more stable or easier to fly. Maybe uses the same hardware to eliminate the flybar in the meanwhile?
But still two very different devices imo....
