Default Flybarless for a newbie

Is it worth putting a flybarless system on a nitro heli if you are a newbie? If so what would be a good one for thunder tiger raptor 30 v1 and v2 types?

Heck yeah, FBL is by and far more stable. there are several choices out there and everyone has their own opinion, i'm a V-bar fan myself but i did run a BeastX w/ the Compass head on my Raptor 50 with excellent results.

i think it is worthy putting the flybarless system, you can go to the professional shop to ask which model is suitable.

I personally would suggest the Ikon. It was really easy to set up on the computer and you can program one of the flight modes with self leveling to help your learning process. Some of the other units incorporpate a bailout feature that will work upright or inverted.

I forgot to ask what hardware would all of you use for the head?
