Spartan Vortex Nano VX1n and DataPod Combo

Description

Designed for 3D Pro pilots and beginner alike the Spartan Vortex range of flybarless systems will amaze you with their performance and features. Its simple and intuitive installation make it the ideal choice for pilots who are venturing for the first time into RC helicopters and flybarless systems.

Tail – Based on Spartan’s market leading gyro technology the Vortex VX1n is capable of delivering exceptional tail hold and consistent yaw rates even at eye-blurring speeds of over three full turns per second.

Rotor – The cyclic and collective controls are smooth and precise with a very solid feel and impressive response time. Factory calibrated sensors and Spartan’s proprietary piro compensation technology enable your helicopter to remain locked in through piro moves.

Governor – The built in governor provides Nitro and Electric* modes and support for both magnetic and phase sensors. Cross mixing and look-ahead algorithms ensure that power is delivered in time and not as a result of RPM decay.

Receiver – The Vortex VX1n supports SBUS & PPM single wire receiver connections, 1 or 2 Satellites and individual channel connections to traditional receivers. Additional channels provided by SBUS, PPM & Satellite receivers can be routed to the three AUX outputs.

Setup – Using the Spartan DataPod field programmer your new Vortex VX1n can be installed and configured in minutes. Adjustments can also be done at the field without the need to carry a computer. The DataPod also doubles as USB interface enabling the Vortex VX1n to receive firmware updates.

Power – The Vortex VX1n operates at both classic 5V and high voltage 8.4V (2S) power systems. The DataPod port of the Vortex VX1n also doubles as secondary power connection point when additional current is needed for high torque servos.

The easy setup, high vibration immunity, and unparalleled performance are guaranteed to give a hassle free installation and enjoyment of your hobby. Backed up with Spartan’s industry-leading warranty and including 3 years free repair service and 50% RRP discounted crash replacements the Vortex VX1n offers market leading performance, exceptional value and reassurance.
