Also put on some CY tail blades! they bite well but more so the tail is very smooth and balanced. Here's a few pics...

sweet, any video of it?

That canopy is awesome! Is there any kind of computer or anything you have to buy when you run a flybarless system?

To setup the V-Bar flybarless system you use software, and upload the settings by USB or bluetooth.

I'm a new Sport owner and have seen some build videos out there for the SE and the Pro. Are there any build videos specifically for the Sport? And can anyone post a link to them?

Thx.

So is there any additional electronics you have to run with the heli?

No build videos that I know of S9coldfire, the SE videos will do fine, very much the same setup procedure.

rclayton, to run flybarless you need a FBL stabilization system like the skookum 360 or Mikado VBar

I see. I've been thinking about going flybarless on my 250 first.

Hi guys, sorry if i'll be a bit off topic, but i can't decide whether to get the PRO or the Sport for my next heli, could someone who owns(or have flown) both help me? What's the difference in terms of performance(flight and 3d)? The Pros and Cons?
I myself like the PRO due to the CoG seems to be nearer to the center, does that make a difference in flight compare to the sport? And what i like about the Sport is it's a belt tail, easier to work on with a wider frame. What do you guys think, which is an overall better heli?
Thanks a lot in advance guys.

I'll throw out what I like about the Sport compared to the V2, I have never owned a Pro to compare them.

-Improved head design, and less slop of swash
-Tail is smoother and grips have weight mod
-Frame is improved, more rigid
-Servo mounting improved
-Longer, more rigid boom supports
-Much more solid feeling in flight

The thing that kept me from the Pro is the TT tail and the frame layout is tight, although that's not a negetive, I'm not in the league of 3D, so the Sport fit the bill for me.

I have both, the pro feels more aggressive. If your a 3d pilot I would pick the pro over the sport. Sport feels a little more stable and not as "quick" as the pro. This is probably due to more pitch available on the pro. Besides, the TT tail rocks(going to put one on my sport if the kit fits).
