| A while back I posted looking for advice on putting a V-bar in a gasser, and didn't get any responses that were positive. Well, I finally got a chance to try it, and pulled my V-bar out of the 600N and installed it on my Spectra G.
It works great, it's just like in any other heli. I've got the sensor mounted on Zeal gel, and the vibration doesn't effect it once bit. I'm still getting the program tuned in and only have 5 flights on it, but I've got it pretty good. It's got that great stability that a well tuned V-bar has, along with ridiculously fast cyclics, longer autos, and about a 15% power increase.
The Spectra already flew a lot like a regular 90, just a little down on power and not quite as quick, and now it's even closer. I've got it running a standard 231 and Century V3 pipe, I'm betting once I swap the engine over to a TRM231 it'll be almost exactly like a regular 90 in the air.
