| The ones you flew weren't setup right, Raja. Fighting to keep it level? Set up right, you can take your hands off the controls and it'll sit level until it runs out of fuel or hits something. I can literally take off in a 25mph wind, and take my hands off the sticks and it'll sit level as it drifts with the wind. In forward flight (upright, inverted, whatever) get it going in level flight and it'll stay on track without messing with it. The great thing is, it's not only stable like that, but it's faster and more responsive than any flybarred heli I've flown. Takeoff and landing is no different than any normal heli. I've let a number of guys fly my 600N with the Vbar, and I don't have to give them any special instructions, just hand them the transmitter, it flies just like any good heli, except more stable while also being more powerful and responsive.
And you don't have to bring a computer with you forever. Setting mine up on the 600N (first flybarless I've ever set up, so no experience at all), I brought my computer to the field twice and tweaked settings, I maybe hooked it up 5 times before it was dialed in, then the computer never came to the field again. It's no different than settign up any new heli, I bring more tools those first couple trips, then leave them at home after that.
It's not difficult to setup as long as you are capable of reading instructions, but reading these forums, it's pretty obvious that most people have never opened a manual.
