    I am a field rep for Spartan Avionics, and I can help answer any setup questions you may have. I am based in the US though, so my replies may be slightly slow.

      Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll make sure we get it answered. The nano is a great piece of kit!

      All good!

      One of the most common questions falls around elevator debounce. If you are getting excessive bounce, bring both the cyclic gain and elevator debounce down, that should clear it up!

      I thought it was pretty cool actually, probably only the aileron loop but some nice moves there. I noticed during the piroflip it was locked in very solid.

      @ ToddMoriarty
      Hi man what ports can I use for power supply on the vx1n?

      I want to run 2 power ins but the only one im sure I can use is the data pod port.
      Can I use the rx port to supply power?

      Thanks

      Yes, you can! I run Futaba, and I actually run 1 lead to the RX and 1 lead to the datapod port. This way I have power when I have the datapod attached for remote tuning. On the nano, you can use anything but the RPM sensor and aux3 port (the 2 bottom ports), as these are on a separate, regulated power bus.

      Bloody rippa thanks mate.

      The gobby 630 is on v3 this should be real good.

      I chickened out on the bertK preset and went with 3d

      3d is a good start to tune your gains, etc. I haven't gone through parameter by parameter, but BertK primarily increases the flip/roll rates, sets tail rotation and acceleration rates, and adjusts style/ paddle response. It will heat up the responsiveness quite a bit, but won't make the Heli unflyable. I would assign a flight mode to it, and try it out if you are curious about it
