VStabi Online Update  


The VStabi Unit can be updated online.  All you need beside your PC is an internet connection and the vstabi unit to update. There is no need to unmount the unit from the heli. The updating is similar to adjusting parameters.

For more information about the latest version refer to Updates

Preparations 


Prepare the VStabi unit for updating. To maintain the connection, the unit has to be powered. If you use a BEC, it may be dangerous to use the BEC supply  for this. In this case unconnect the motor, or use a separate Rx pack. This prevents the rotors to start accidentially.

Check that there is enough energy in the Rx pack.

The update can be done via bluetooth, a spererate wire is not needed in this case!
