Fail Safe
☝ Attention VBar Control’s pre-programmed Fail Safe-Set-
tings will set the servos to hold and the ESC/trottle servo to
the known motor off-position, both if the connection between
satellite and VBar is interrupted and if the radio connection is
interrupted or broken. This way, the energy is taken out of the
system as much as possible, and the model is left on a hope-
fully predictable trajectory.
☝ Attention If the connection can be re-established, (e.g. af-
ter temporary radio interference), you regain control imme-
diately. On an electric heli, the motor will spool up quickly,
the same as from bail out/idle. A combustion engine will not
regain power. Land/autorotate the model immediately and
nd/remedy the cause before ying again.
☝ Attention In case the connection to the model or VBar
breaks, VBar Control will notify
Connection broken
and ad-
vise to turn off the motor switch. Turn off the motor at your
own discretion: we recommed turning off the motor before
the model hits the ground, to avoid further damage.
⚠ Warning Always set the motor switch to ‘Motor Off’ position
when approaching a crashed model: in case the connec-
tion can be re-established, the motor will otherwise spool
up again.
Care and Cleaning
☝ Attention Use a soft brush to remove dirt and sand from
surfaces and from the gimbals, to avoid scratches.
☝ Attention Use a dry or damp microber or other soft cloth to
clean the surfaces. Do not rub rmly. Only neutral detergent
may be used (check on a hidden surface rst if in doubt).
☝ Attention Take special care when cleaning the display, for-
eign parts like dirt or sand for example might scratch the
surface even when a soft cloth is used.
☝ Attention Do not use dripping wet cloth, and do not use hot
water, benzine, gasoline, model fuels, thinner or other vol-
atile detergents for example, as they might permanently
damage or mark surfaces or damage the electronics inside.
Getting Support and
Service for your VBar
Control
