I dont have a problem with electronics (already have switchglo, carbsmart, eagletree onboard) but I don't know. the only time I saw a flybarless setup (on a stratus) the whole thing didn't end very well... not sure if it is an advantage for me. I'm sure its great for guys that want insane cyclic rate (like Inky

) but for a guy like me... not so sure

How much did those blade grips cost anyway?

It is the same as on the Rex, Kasama 10mm head, will fit most helis, which is why I bought it.

Standoffs are double ball as supplied in the Kasama head kit. Available to buy for a few $.

Pushrods are custom length to suit with 2.3mm inner diameter carbon rod over the top with rocket city links and heat shrink to secure carbon rod once adjusted for tracking.

Just been out for a fly. The heli is a rocket, the engine just keeps on pulling. Still more to be had out the V-bar, the file I sent you Ink is pretty responsive but I'm going for even more to try and match the N9. I have managed to get proprtional up to 100 on the N9, see how high I can get the Vibe

Had a few PM's about how this is going. So far so good, very lively just as responsive as the T-rex. Very solid feel which I like.

Just working on reducing the head height by about 15 mm, not as easy to do as the rex as you need to modify the A arm to reduce the swash height and keep it central. It should smarten up the rolls though and brig CG more in line with the boom like the good old Synergy N9.

Will post update when that is complete.

Got the head down by 15mm. Little bit tricky had to mod an A arm for the elevator, decided to use the A90 ali one, installed a shorter link then had the shaft cut down and re-holed in the appropriate place.

Result is one mean looking Vibe 50 flybarless, should perform better too!! I like this one a lot.
