VBar Auto Trimming For The Impatient

Here's a quick and dirty 10 step VBar Autotrim Guide:

1. Check the Autotrim Activate box in the VStabi 4.0 Software
2. Turn on Transmitter and set Collective Stick to Full Up
   
3. Turn on your Heli (Make sure you have Throttle Hold on to prevent your heli from spooling up!!)
4. After the initial power-up twitch, your blades will pitch up and down twice to confirm that the VBar is in Autotrim mode.
5. Set Collective Stick to Middle (Do not bring it any further down - Down Collective signals to the VBar that you have completed the Autotrim and turns off Autotrim)
6. Put your heli out in the flying field and ready for take off (Make sure that there is little or no wind for accurate Autotrimming)
7. Spool up (Turn off Throttle Hold) and take-off into a nice hover at Eye Level (Any lower and ground effect could throw off your autotrim.) Your headspeed during autotrimming should be what you normally fly at.
8. Keep your heli in a hover at the same spot and altitude for at least 60 seconds. Try not to input any drastic stick movements during this time, keep it smooth with as little stick movements as possible. Have a few seconds (2 to 4 seconds each time should be enough) here and there during your flight where you do not move the sticks at all and let the heli drift a little.
   
9. Gently land. Once the heli spools down, set Collective to Full Down to signal to the VBar that your autotrim flight has ended. Power off your Heli.
   
10. Connect VBar to your PC/Laptop, load up VStabi 4.0 Software and confirm that the Traffic Light in Autotrim has turned Green and uncheck Activate box. You'll have to do it again if it's a red or yellow light. Congrats! You have completed Auto-Trimming of your VBar!

Note that you'll have to get your heli's CG right at your main shaft for the Auto-Trimming to work well.

As usual if things does not work right the 1st time, try again, but double checking that you have all the steps nailed each time your try. Once you're done, you'll be rewarded a very nice flying flybarless heli!
