Flybarless System. Firmware V3.01
Preface
The Turnigy® V-Bar 600 is an extremely high quality precise controller and stabilizer for the swash plate and tail rotor of a
model helicopter flight control system. It has super-stabilization and super-response to control input. This makes for incredible
stability and agility. The programmability allows for performance settings from smooth scale to sport or hard 3D flying.
Flybarless also means longer flight times and a tremendous reduction in parts and aerodynamic drag. You no longer need to use
a separate external tail gyro, resulting in reduced weight, with a large cost savings. The Turnigy® V-Bar 600 offers 4 switchable
flight modes.
Technical details:
●MEMS Gyro Sensors in three axes
●Digital signal processor
●Operating voltage: 4-10 Volts, current < 80mA
●Temperature range: -10°C to +50°C
●Size: 33x34x18 mm
●Weight: 15 g
●Servo compatibility: 1520uS/333Hz, 1520uS/250Hz, 1520uS/167Hz, 960uS/333Hz (tail only) and 760uS/333Hz Digital
servos. Also, standard 1520uS/71Hz Analog servos.
●Supplied: Foam and double-side adhesive tape and Stainless steel plate.
Installation
:
Only use the thick double sided adhesive pads when installing the Turnigy® V-Bar 600 unit on an electric helicopter. If
installing on to a nitro or turbine helicopter, you may want to use the two double sided adhesive pads on the bottom plus a
stainless plate on the top of these, then a thin double sided adhesive pad on the top layer, for better vibration isolation.

Check whether the directions of swash plate servos (AILERON, ELEVATOR and PITCH) are correct. If incorrect, the AILERON, ELEVATOR and PITCH servo direction can be changed via your transmitter – servo reverse. This step needs to be completed before continuing on.

- Page 13 ELE-DEAD - Elevator Stick Dead Zone Menu items Description The swash plate will have no elevator response within elevator dead zone. This is the neutral point 5 ~ 100 of the elevator stick. When the value is higher, the dead zone is larger. The model will have no (Default 6) elevator response within this dead zone of the stick.
- Page 14 (microseconds). Y is the currently selected flight mode (0-3). Moving the gain switch changes the flight mode. The Turnigy® V-Bar 600 unit can have up to four different flight modes. The flight mode corresponds to the pulse width of the gain (GN) channel input.
- Page 15 RUDRSTOP - Rudder Right Piro Stop Gain Menu items Description 60 - 180 The sensitivity of hovering and clockwise spin. The stop speed used for preventing the side wind, (Default 100) hovering shift and clockwise rotation. The sensitivity is RUDRSTOP*TAILGAIN when the hovering and clockwise rotation stop. If the ability to prevent side wind is poor, hovering drifts rightward, or slow clockwise tail rotation Suggestion stopping speed, increase the RUDRSTOP value.
- Page 16 CYC-COMP - Compensation of cyclic pitch to tail rotor Item Description A change in cyclic pitch will cause a change in head speed of the main rotor, as well as causing a -100 - +100 tail deviation. Adjust the CYC-COMP value until the torque change can be offset completely. If (Default 0) the torque change causes tail deviation counter-clockwise, compensate rightward rudder direction input, i.e.
