SPARTAN Gyro Metal plate
Gyros are sensitive to high frequency vibrations. The metal plate helps isolate these vibrations and not allow these vibrations to be transmitted to the Gyro. If your gyro was working fine and then suddenly started to drift try to find the source of this possible vibration.

We recommend to use the metal plate between the gyro pads.

Spartan Vortex Nano VX1n Flybarless System

Designed for 3D Pro pilots and beginner alike the Vortex VX1 and VX1n will amaze you with their performance, features and intuitive installation.

Tail - Based on Spartan's market leading gyro technology the Vortex 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 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.


Key features:

• Designed for all helicopters; from the smallest electric to the largest nitro
• Market leading tail hold and pirouetting consistency
• Small and lightweight
• Suitable for normal, DFC, rigid and multi-bladed rotor heads
• Compatible with all digital tail servos (760us, 960us and 1520us)
• Compatible with digital and analog swash servos
• Compatible with standard pulse, PPM, SBUS and 1 or 2 satellite receivers
• Built in governor with Nitro and Electric* modes
• Superior balanced ring MEMS sensor technology
• Easy configuration and field adjustments via the Spartan DataPod. You can deploy a new system in minutes
• Firmware upgradable
• Four configuration memories that can be selected in-flight for different flying styles. They can be mapped to Normal, Idle1, Idle2 & Hold or as the user requires
