    Hi Guys, if anyone has any questions about the Brain I am happy to help. I have been using now for awhile and have gotten rid of all my VBars and loving the Brain.

      The reason I fly a brain is that I figure that one of us need on.. and since I don't it has to be the heli...

      Yep and thats one very big difference... being able to mould the gyro to suit your way of flying...I know some of the worlds best swear by the brain... and Lynx has just released their own version..which is a re badged version of the same no doubt...http://www.lynxheli.com/product_info.php?products_id=23789

      @Collie_Farmer : Expo can be done on one or the other, I used to do it my TX but I had to do it for every flight mode which was a pain in the ass. So now I just do it in the Brain, I only need to enter it in one spot. Roll rates are done in the FBL unit:- Advanced menu, set up 1 2 or 3, Cyclic, Cyclic Rotational Speed. It is done in deg per sec.

      @feral : With the cyclic gain you really need different gain settings for different head speeds, higher the head speed higher the gain. You need to use the Set up's which is like bank switching in VBar to achieve this. Also some heli's just don't like a particular head speed and will get the shacks, this unfortunately can not be fixed. One other thing I have found is that really tight blades will make this a lot worse.

      Hope I helped guys good luck!

      as I mentioned before I just switched to ikon from the ar7200bx and first time user of a governor..du to I had a bad cras due to the ar7200 for the 3rd time..so I bought ikon and went ahead and bought the booster kit for my align 600 pro dfc..I always ran flat curves... I went out and try to start tunning the ikon ..hovered 3 packs .. did circuits with 2 packs and went to do some light 3d on last pack .. towads the end of pack I went to do a large loop and the rpms did a quick drop 2300 rpm to 1800 ..it spiked down for about a second then sped back up..i am using the castle gov and checked the data logging and showed no drop of power or signal..do you think this was a gov gain issue ..I wasn't doing anything that collective management would have coused a normal blade bog

      One thing to consider when choosing head speed and pitch that no one ever thinks about is your elevation..we are about 6,000 fetters above sea lol here so we always have to add hs..when someone recommend 2,100 we go 2300 to 2,400...effects piycj also and especially our again...when we go to a funfly at a lower elevation we have to re set our helis ..man they fly so much better at a lower elv ..most recommended setting are or about sea lol...just something to keep in mind

      so I put a oversized motor on and running governor..i am new to ikon and this motor..when I hit idle up or do pitch pumps my tail kicks to the right ..I did the normal gain fly til u get wag and back off 5 points..some one told me this tail kick to the righ can be fixed if I lower gain another 15 points dur to the new oversized motor and torqe the fbl unit is to sensitive .. can any one tell me if this is true

      Turn on and/or increase the level of pitch compensation in the advanced menus

      Clock wise blade rotation? If so the torque would push the tail counter clock wise... which would move the trail to the right... right?

      Yes the CC gov will kick the tail, doesn't matter what you do it will kick. To make it better you need to run the gain really low around 9-12 only draw back is it will over speed a lot.
