Castle has an excellent gov, even for the extremest.
Bob, with the data pod, can you assign any parameter to a knob and tune on the fly?

Thanks for the suggestion bob. I will be flying tomorrow so I will give the castle gov a try (I have always used the ikon gov). I'm using a castle edge 120HV speedo on a Goblin 630 comp. Will be using the 160 version on the 700 I'm currently building.
Edit: Couldn't help myself and ordered one up from helidirect. Will be excited to try it out as I have only used the 3gx and ikon. The software looks awsome and I always have my windows tablet with me. Really didn't want to wait for the price to go and then be kicking myself for not ordering sooner.

Lighty, yes you can use Remote Adjust to tune any of the flight parameters that have a slider adjustment on the DataPod screen.
Jay, good decision. I'm really looking forward to reading more impressions from you guys. Sent via phone

Will be my first time using castle governor too. Have always used vbar or ikon gov. Using yge gov store on my 570 with the vx1n but not happy about getting the speed right but I never could get the edge 130 to work with my kde 550xf. Switching my ikon out for the vx1e on my trex 700 e. Ordered mine direct, waiting for it to hit the states.

Sorry for the silly question. I bought the vx1e. Will I need the datapod to update the firmware or do any advanced setup? Is it needed at all? I don't want to miss any features

No, the DataPod is not needed, in which case you will need a computer and use Spartan Studio. Also, the Esprit is ready to go with the latest firmware already installed.

does the program not pull up at all or does it pull up and you get the blank background saying to connect the vortex?

And you need power to the Vortex, the USB cable doesn't power it.

I get a screen saying to power up the Vortex but the Vortex is slowly flashing red indicating it has power along with a positive connection on my Futaba RX. When I plug in any servo the red flashing stops and I do not get any leds. All connections were made per web site for std RX( Futaba 617)
