Thanks Eddi. I will test that NEO's signal strength when I have time and let you know the results. As far as the radio towers, I'm going to be extra selective where I fly for a while. I'm even thinking about avoiding the one in question for the rest of the season. It's a bummer as it's my favorite official flying field. Unfortunately, several of our other official fields have similar towby 3D Dave - VBar VLink
Thanks Eddi. I checked the pinion and it is still loctited to the motor shaft and does not move. The one-way is still perfect. It's the upgrade sprag one-way and not the weaker stock roller bearing one-way so I know it's not that either. Here's where it gets interesting. A friend brought his drone (with video) out to the field a week ago and he said when he flew in a particular area, hisby 3D Dave - VBar VLink
Thanks Rainer. I read your post and was just waiting for Eddi to get back. Since it's been 10 days, do you know when he will return? -Daveby 3D Dave - VBar VLink
Hi Eddi. Sorry for the delay, but I had some family things come up. I was not able to open the key files even with a double tap on my trackpad (I checked my trackpad preferences to make sure double tap was enabled). Therefore, I've attached the crash log to this post. Please let me know what you find. Thanks.by 3D Dave - VBar VLink
Thanks Eddi. I will try all that as soon as I can.by 3D Dave - VBar VLink
So here's where I'm stuck: I've downloaded the key file multiple times and no matter where I put it, I'm not getting the VStabi Setup to connect (but USB is connected). Also, the warning that pops up says my NEO is not found in my list of devices. Why is that? It has been registered in my list of devices for a long time.by 3D Dave - VBar VLink
I am using a Mac running Catalina. One of the reasons I haven't upgraded the OS is so that I could still use my Mac for Mikado V-Bar programming. I have the old window "Setup VStabi" up but I cannot get a connection. I've downloaded the key file multiple times. I've put it in a local folder (with the V-bar Control Manager 2.1 app) but get nowhere. I put it in my Applications foldby 3D Dave - VBar VLink
I'm not sure the exact time of loss of control, but it was probably right around 14:41:56 I am having trouble getting the PC software to connect. I'm using a Mac and haven't used the PC (or Mac) software in a very long time as I've done everything from the V-Control (original and now touch). I tried downloading a keyfile even though I didn't think I should need one as this NEO has been registeby 3D Dave - VBar VLink
So I had another unexplained crash. Maybe Eddi (or someone) can tell me what happened. This a fairly recent NEO that had seen well over 100 flights. I did have a similar unexplained crash in May of this year. This one was very similar. 1st flight of the day (warm up, easy flying). Heli is upright about 15m up and just flying level and all of a sudden, I have no control/power. The heli just staby 3D Dave - VBar VLink
This is great news to hear Stephan! I have a Kolibri 140 HV-I and Kosmik 170 HV-I, so I’m really looking forward to seeing the complete integration with my VBC-Tby 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
Thanks Eddi. I think I'm good, but I'll recheck those just to be sure. I will say the heli is flying great! Daveby 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
So, since I had to calibrate the center position of the collective stick, will that have any effect on my previously set up helis? I have 3 helis already programmed and just want to make sure I have no issues with collective in flight.by 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
Stephan, That was it! I wasn’t sure what to adjust at first, but I figured it out quickly. I reset 0 and now those min/max fields are accessible! Thanks for responding and helping so quickly!!! Hopefully I’ll get to test fly it tomorrow.by 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
Yes. I move the pitch stick full up and down. No change. The rudder end point adjustment does work when I move it’s stick however.by 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
I am trying to set up my rebuilt Logo 700. The NEO has been registered and has pro/rescue. I have been through the setup up dozens of times tonight but can't adjust my collective in setup. The collective min/max is greyed out and can't be selected. I can't figure out how to change it. I've attached a picture. What am I missing?

Hi Eddi. I’m just curious... if I were to swap the original toggle switch with a push button switch, what are the electrical specs of the original? I know 1A, 125v is pretty common, but I see many rated much higher or lower. I’d also want a quality switch with very high cycle/MTBF rating. Thanks!by 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
That’s what I was thinking. Thanks Rainer & Eddi!by 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
So I was talking to a friend about adding the 2nd TX battery and he reminded me of an issue. Apparently, the lower bolts for the rear case were slightly too long and when screwed back in, would damage the display screen. Is this still a concern, or has it been remedied with the factory using shorter bolts? My radio is less than a week old, so I’m assuming it’s from a recent batch froby 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
Thanks for all your help Eddi! I’m sure I’ll have several more questions as I dig deeper into this awesome radio! 5 test flights today with my Goblin 500 and Diabolo 700UL all went great! Between setting up the batteries and verifying some parameters (screen brightness set to 1), my battery is down to 36% so I’ll probably add that 2nd TX battery and swap the right switches soon.by 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
I actually found it when I went to fly my first flight with the new TX. There’s a menu that pops up that lets you create new batteries, or select currently programmed packs. It works pretty good, but it could use a few more characters. I use the # sign (some call hashtag now) and a dash (-) when I program my batteries. Hopefully they will get added in an update.by 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
Thanks guys. While I’m here (instead of adding to my growing topics/questions), where do I find the manual flight battery programming on the touch? I don’t use the Mikado battery stickers, but manually program each of my batteries into the radio. Then, just manually select one from the pop up list each time I plug in a heli to fly. (I also wonder if that pick list will automaticaby 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
So if I have a heli that was previously bound (and flying perfect) to my classic VBC and want to fly it with my new VBCT, do I have to do a new model set up, or can I just bind it and fly it? I know it would probably be better if I did a new set up, but what if I just want to test it for a few flights. The manual states you can just bind and fly, but I wanted to confirm that it meant previoby 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
Thanks Rainer. I guess I didn’t understand the correlation between the two. I should rewatch your and Ron T’s videos on the switches.by 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
Thanks for those explanations. I’ve read the manual, and am reading the “?” text built into the radio, but some of it isn’t 100% clear to me.by 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
So I'm setting up my switch assignments on my VBCT. I have my Motor (Run/Idle/Off) set to switch 5 in the first picture I then see "Option 3" showing "Switch 5" Is this ok, or do I need to change "Option 3" to something other than "Switch 5"?by 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
Hi Eddi. So the radio charged this morning for about 90 minutes. When I went to unplug it, the light was off (indicating it was fully charged like my original VBC I assume). When I turned it on, it had a 99% charge so that was good. With the back light set at 1, the battery still went down to 88% fairly quickly. I turned off WiFi and Online Service, and now it's draining a bit slower. Iby 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
Hi Eddi. So when I turned the radio on the first time, it had approximately 72% charge. As I played with it for 10-15 minutes, it went down to about 70%. I then plugged it in and left it for about 45 minutes. The light never came on. I didn’t think much about it at the moment as I thought maybe I needed to change a setting or something for the LED to go on. When I came back (45 minuteby 3D Dave - Questions VBar Control Touch
So I just opened my brand new VBCT. It looks great! I've not even connected it to WiFi yet. I wanted to fully charge it first. My first question is, per the manual, "A red light will come on in the ambient light sensor right below the screen, when the VBar Control is connected to the wall charger" When I first plugged mine in, there was no light at all on the radio.
