Quick Start Guide

Express-Firmware

Welcome to VBar EVO!

VBar EVO is an innovative product setting new standards for

model helicopters in terms of ight performance and program-

ming capacity.

Features:

• Easy setup and ne adjustments can be done with

any VBar Control radio.

• Ready for online updates as they become available.

• Built-in Governor for electric model helicopters

(IC powered models require the Pro rmware).

• Fully compatible with VBar Control. For setup

using VBar control, please refer to your VBar

Control manual or to online help in VBar Con-

trol EVO/Touch.

FCC Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital de-

vice, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is

likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the

interference at his own expense.

Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

could void the user’s authority to operate the device.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of

at least 20 cm / 7.87 in from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction

with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users must be provided with transmitter operating

conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must

accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC ID 2ABXHVBCRX30

Safety Instructions

An R/C controlled helicopter is not a toy! While moving, the rotor blades

pose a serious danger to persons and things. You must obey all safety

instructions of the manufacturer for operation of your helicopter.

VBar is not an autopilot! VBar may be installed in model helicopters suitable

for ying without ybar. During installation and operation you must follow

all instructions given in the software of the radio and in manuals. VBar may

not be operated in wet conditions (high humidity or rain). If the helicopter

shows vibrations during ight, operation is to be stopped immediately. Do

not continue ying until the cause for vibration has been eliminated.

• Disconnect motor wires or remove the pinion gear to avoid acci-

dental spooling up of the helicopter while setting up the speed con-

troller (ESC), or when loading unknown setup, as they may contain

different speed controller settings as you have on your heli!

• Make sure you use a sufcient power supply.

• Fail safe will be set automatically by VBar/VBar Control (motor off,

servos on hold position).

VBar EVO and high servo frequencies

Your VBar NEO can—with update to Pro or Pro+Rescue—

drive suitable servos with higher frequencies than before.

Similar to overall gyro gain (too high = oscillation,

wobbles, shaking), a wrong setting can degrade the

ight performance, or even endanger/destroy the model.

Please make sure you read the following tutorial before

changing the default settings!

1. Itemsneededforrstinstallation

On rst installation, you will need:

• VBar EVO with built in VBar Control VLink

Receiver and a VBar Control radio

• Power supply (BEC or receiver battery).

• Helicopter with servos installed, but not yet

connected! Only digital servos allowed!

• Pitch Gauge (swash plate levelling tool)

• For updates and extensions of VBar EVO you

need the VBar Control Manager software which

you can download conveniently from www.vstabi.

info.

2. Update and Registration

Before beginning a setup, register and update your VBar Con-

trol and VBar EVO. Open the VBar Control Manager, connect to

your computer using the USB C wire, only then power up your

VBar. The LED will ash white. The update will be performed

automatically if necessary. During the update, the LED will

light up yellow briey, then start ashing green. Disconnect

the USB wire and power cycle your VBar, and it will start up

for normal operation, ashing blue during initialization, then

red-green. If you want to use the VBar Control Manager again

(e.g. to access the App Store), just power cycle your VBar. It

will start up in update mode again as long as it is connected

to your computer.

Click on Applications in the VBar Control Manager to access

the App Store, where you can register your new VBar to your

MikadoID with one click of your mouse.

Perform an update of your VBar Control, too.

3. Preparing the Helicopter

First you need to assemble the helicopter in accordance with

manufacturer’s instructions. Flybarred rotor systems are not

supported. It is very important that you assemble the helicopter

mechanically correct with exact symmetry and geometry. This

is to ensure that you do not run into problems resulting from

mechanical inconsistencies later.

4. Bind procedure, programming

VBar will go into bind mode after approx. 10 seconds. The LED

will ash green-red to indicate it‘s ready for binding.

Refer to your VBar Control Manual to bind your VBar to your

VBar Control Transmitter.

5. Wiring your VBar

Connectors

ESC Electronic Speed Controller

TAIL Tail servo

CH1-4 Swash plate servos according to diagram in the software

AUX1-3 Additional functions

RPM RPM sensor input

USB USB wire

TELE 1, TELE 2 Telemetry bus for VBar Control.

Power supply may be connected to any port. There is no voltage divider

needed for rpm sensors. Make sure all components support the input voltage

connected. For further applications (additional functions) see App in VBar

Control and online manual on www.vstabi.info.

6. Pre-ightcheck

Before each ight you must double-check the active

direction of the swash plate and the tail rotor. To do so, lift

the helicopter up and move it along the three axis.

7. Initialization (Pitch Twitch, V is lit)

During Initialization, VBar goes through a self-test. The LED

will ash blue, then. The helicopter must be at rest during this

test. When the test is nished, you will see a brief twitching

(jump) of the swash plate, VBar Control will show ‚Connect‘.

Also the V will light up solid green.

11. Operation

Upon successful initialization of the VBar and pre-ight check

you may proceed to the maiden ight with your VBar. At the

eld you may further adjust any setting using your VBar Control.

Trim ight:

During a trim ight, VBar performs all necessary trims of the

helicopter automatically (elevator, aileron, tail). A trim ight is

not necessary if the servo linkages are installed mechanically

correct, the swash plate is leveled, and the center of gravity

is set properly.

To perform a trim ight, turn on the helicopter while the stick

for collective is at full positive. The VBar conrms this with a

short double-twitch (jump) of the swash plate. With VBar

Control, enable trim ight in Flight Parameters. It is best to

perform the trim ight in very calm weather conditions. For

further information on how to perform a trim ight, click on

“Trimightinfo” in the ight menu, check out vstabi.info, or

consult online help (?) on VBar Control Touch.
