VStabi Pioneer of Flybarless

Vbar is an electronic replacement of the classic flybar for model helicopters. It is manufactured by Mikado Helicopters.

Compared to conventional mechanical rotor heads, the V-Bar system can react much quicker and with much more agility. It is less susceptible to unwanted effects from gusts of wind or other environmental variables. Moreover, the undesired internal effects of a mechanical system are completely eliminated - the helicopter will respond to the input in the most exact way possible. Digital operation means maximal control and ultimate precision! Imagine your heli in straight-forward or backward flight with no pitching up or down - just flying like it's on rails. That's the reality for V-bar pilots. For scale pilots, the V-Bar offers new ways of dealing with multi-blade rotor head systems, which are typically very difficult to control. The V-Bar system allows pilots to set the rotor head up in any way they desire. As a result, the V-Bar is perfect for novice pilots and expert pilots alike. (Note: V-Bar is NOT an autopilot.)

A further highlight of the V-Bar system is the integrated Heading Hold tail rotor gyro. This gyro is characterized by precise stopping performance and continuous yaw rate of the tail even in windy conditions, thus complementing the V-Bar’s performance. The set-up of the tail rotor gyro is also carried out in the V-Bar software module. One of the greatest features of the V-Bar tail gyro is its integration with the system. Whereas all other tail gyros can only respond to yaw changes, the V-Bar actually predicts before it responds, thus providing the best possible tail control available.

Advantages of the Virtual Flybar System:
- Simulator-like digital flight performance
- Suitable for either mechanical or electronic swashplate mixing
- Suitable for two-blade or multi-blade helicopters
- Completely customizable & adjustable head set-up - from mild to wild!
- Significant weight reduction, eliminates rotor head slop by removing almost all rotor head components
- Simply outstanding flight performance
- Reduces air drag and flying weight, resulting in more available power and longer flight times

System requirements:
PC/Laptop with MS Windows (Windows 95 and up)
