$180!

Edvard R · 10-14-2011, 10:25 PM

That's an amazing price for this system.

Looks like a very sweet unit... I love the touch control system... Awesome idea, and it looks pretty small as well....

The only thing.... do you know if it runs off Spektrum sats, or do I need a separate Rx?

Edvard R · 10-14-2011, 11:01 PM

Sats work, yes

Breezyjr · 10-14-2011, 11:03 PM

Thanks,

Should have checked out esprit first though, as they have a picture of the unit with a spektrum sat next to it...

PS. So it "IS" that good, eh? Hard to believe a $190 FBL unit will be a very good unit to use.... kind of makes me wonder about all the Skookum 720s I bought when they first came out... <grin>

You are all electric correct? I wonder how this works for nitro?

Not quite all electric

Still have 6 or 7 nitros...

The GT5 works fine with nitro. Simply set the model type to nitro during the setup. If any issues with vibration, you can adjust the sensor sensitivity/filtering.

jhunter · 10-15-2011, 03:58 AM

You have more nitros than I have heli's. Good to know. I will pick one up a give her a go then. Thanks

Nutbag · 10-15-2011, 06:15 AM

I have one of these suckers coming to try out, after skimming the manual it mentions nitro and E installs are ok but looks like if using DSM sats plugged into GT5 directly there are no spare channels out to control a separate nitro gov?

Obviously if using sbus or a separate Rx you could use a channel on the Rx itself for the gov switching channels.

HeliBenj · 10-15-2011, 06:43 AM

Clicked the button, will try on the 500 first with HW ESC and gov, hope the gov on the HW is decent.
If my TDR comes one day (still haven't heard back from Jan) I'll try it too and compare with vbar

jhunter · 10-15-2011, 12:08 PM

I posted that they were $180, went to bed and they almost sold out. So I of course panicked and bought one as soon as I woke up. Great hobby ehh? I can't think of any other hobby where I would freak out like I was missing the boat. I have an unused vbar sitting here. Oh well. If it's that good, I might have 2 vbars for sale!

KidHeli · 10-15-2011, 04:17 PM

only 2 left... do you need any extras for programming? how do you navigate the menu? is the unit touch screen?

Buttons on unit.

helicraze · 10-16-2011, 12:42 AM

Is there online manual for it? A few in AU will have it this week, will be interesting to hear how it goes

Edvard R · 10-16-2011, 01:09 AM

Other than the one I posted in post 12, it's online here: http://file.espritmodel.com/document...ity-system.pdf

helicraze · 10-16-2011, 04:18 AM

Lol it must be ac3x!!! Its pratically the same at least he can sell a lot of them!

Stolla · 10-17-2011, 03:22 PM

Ok give up, Edvard you convinced me to try one out

any setting you can recommend for the tdr comparible to high agility (115) on vbar, is the tail good with continious piro flying? Still on the way but maybe i can fine tune it so it's ready by the time the goblin gets here

helicraze · 10-17-2011, 03:40 PM

If its like ac3x you need to turn it up a lot!

When i first flew ac3X it was so so stable LOL too much!

Sorry about that...

I am traveling right now, but will post the values that are on my unit and in the radio when I get back end of the week.

It is not like the AC-3X in that regard. Mine was flying like something on 400 agility in V-bar on the first outing, so it can be set pretty crazy.
