Thanks Rahul . Hope the maiden goes well .

Does CF Conducts Electricity ? 

Need to put more heatshrink on the bullet connectors . Some part is touching CF frame

And will ground the boom.

CF does conduct electricity, be careful!

I see that you use VBAR and now on this heli you have used KBAR.Since the kBAR is a clone of VBAR how different are they?and how does each one fly against the Align 3gx??

Hi
I got VBar installed on Gaui X5 and 6Hv . KBar on warp just for testing the reliability and tight budget .

First of all , KBar and Vbar gives almost same performance but can't say 100% as i haven't tested vbar on the same bird (Warp).

VBar doesn't come with PRO software . It comes with Express software . Need to pay extra 40 USD for Pro software .
KBar does come with Pro software pre-installed .


VBar price = 220 + 40 USD
KBar price = 50 USD



As compared to ALIGN 3GX , There's Night and day difference between them .  
VBar are rock solid as compared to 3gx .

I haven't tested the latest firmware of the 3gx but i'm definitely sure it won't be better then VBAR.



If you already got the 3Gx , then try it out . Then fly VBAR if any of your local friend got one .

Note : Once you fly vbar , You will never go back to 3Gx again  


I suggest , don't go for Kbar when you are flying big and Expensive choppers .
Cause during troubleshooting the chopper , You will always have doubt on KBar .

It does perform great but personal suggestion

Are you flying the full size Vbar or the mini vbar on your Guai???

All Mini's .

Hey Dhruva.I see many brands of helicopters in your hangar..Guai,Compass etc.Did you get them online or was it a personal pickup.Suggest a reliable site with reasonable price and shipping charges for importing helicopter  kits.Iam looking really hard at Guai x4 ii/Guai X5 available at Rc711 and Flyinghobby.com (i use this site,only small electronics and stuff.)How is Helidirect.Will the shipping charges be substantially higher compared to Asian sites to be something of an issue?

All of them are bought online .
Gaui helis can be bought from Flyinghobby and infinity-hobby . Both of them give good price .
Gaui helis ain't available on 711

Forget about HELIDIRECT now , They won't undervalue !!

Choose Gaui x4 ii over X5 .

X4ii can be stretched to X5 with 520mm blades .

Batteries are safe in X4 during a crash and are more upgraded . Even a 5000Mah batteries go inside X4.

great choice u got there ....its become impossible to order from helidirect or any usa based site cause of their new customs law as they are forced to attach retail MRP invoice which will be very bad when it lands here dhl ups anythign ...now only options are UK and Asian sites flying hobby is good ....so is rc711 but they are a big pain when it comes to shipping as they never stock anything almost all stuff is like  preorder except for some things ....ur good to go with flying hobby ,hawk -rc ,fast lad performance uk ,and other stores .....

That's very encouraging news indeed {:)}would have preferred to buy from LHS but no option other than Align.Bought 4 Align Helis from RCD.Good helis and great price but now feel like trying something else..Although still no 3d but I have given into this addiction...

nabam if u intend for a 500 size go for the gaui X4II ,Compass Atom 500.....but if u own a 450 size heli swinging 350-360mm blades i suggest dont go for any 500 size cause feel is similar if not same as a 500 ...then u better up ur game n go for a 550 ...synergy E5,kds Agile ,goblin 570 very sturdy helis plus all of the above can be stretched to 600 size if needed

Many thanks Shannon for the suggestions.I do have an align 550 dfc.was looking to fill the gap between the 450 and 550 and then who knows,a day might come when i pull the trigger on a 700. but having heard your views on the similarity of the feel of a 480 and a 500, might as well check out the suggested models.Goblin i feel is grossly unjustified at this stage of my flying..cost vs skill  :giggle:i.e.will check the others.i guess two 550s of different makes won't hurt..i could also share the electronics and Lipos

yup synergy is good so is agile .....once u get any of these u will c a vast difference in quality between them and align ....also if u want a good gyro i recomment ,bavarian demon,skookum,brain....vbar too i know am using it but for some reason its the feel of vbar that i dont like sooo much its very good but idk wats with me not liking the feel ....beastx is also very good i love how the tail feels on a beastx ....bavarian ,skookum will give u a really tight feel if u like tht feel u can get them ....

Do you guys quote your IEC(Import Export Certificate) no. while ordering from abroad??Today i received a letter from FEDEX,New Delhi asking to quote the IEC on any imports worth more than Rs.10,000/- and it has to be labelled as "Unsolicited Gift".
