Using NEO with both VCt and Futaba
September 08, 2026 06:11PM
I have quite a few helis with NEOs and Futaba SBUS receivers. Is it possible to add a Vlink receiver (or activate the internal NEO receiver) so I can continue to fly using the external Futaba SBUS Rx while also having the convenience of adjusting flight parameters quickly using my VCt ? If so, how do I do this please?

You can do this - having a VBar with integrated VLink. See my Crossover buddyboxing video here:

Thanks Rainer. Is it necessary to have both transmitters switched on as shown in the video? The way I would like it to work is to have my Futaba transmitter as the default Tx for day-to-day flying and be able to use the VCt for occasional tuning

Hi,

no, once set up, it's either-or, or both (then, you can buddy box with VBar Control as the master).

So, Futaba only at power-on, an the internal receiver will remain dormant, or VBar Control present at power on, then it will either be only that, or if you have Futaba on, too, Futaba will be the buddy.

Cheers
