Vbar Control Setup and features

Loading the model configuration to the VBAR for the first time after firmware upgrade. Checking out the new features.

If mikado helicopter models are used, the setup is strait forward and easy. 

Integrated for the Mikado OEM YGE XXTREME 160A ESC, all parameters come pre-configured. 
My Scorpion motor has 10 poles, Sensor config is number of motor poles divided by 2

Selection of tail servo frequency and pulse band, only after preset then i plug in the tail servo. This is to prevent damage to tail servo due to incorrect pulse band.

Besides the timer and model selection. Telemetry provides live receiver voltage, head speed and an optional  UI sensor power meter

Pre and post flight diagnostics are great, checking for initialization,servo and sensor failures.

The link power monitor can display the signal strength for interference and transmission issues. 

When the model is in operation, the vibration spectrum analyzer provides insight for bearing maintenance and unbalanced parts. 

At the end of it don't forget to check the vbar sensor orientation and blade pitch before flight.
