Vortex Esprit VX1e Experiences?

Post by Kickedd7371 »

So as the title suggests I am interested in knowing if anyone here as had any experience with this fbl; the good, the bad, the ugly etc.. and whether or not It is worth a try coming from iKons. I love the iKon fbl but just feel like trying something new. I have already had a look at its software and it appears to have a solid amount of options with good setup guides. It support 2 DSMX satellites which is what I currently use on the iKon so that is helpful. Any input regarding this subject matter would be greatly appreciated :) cheers!

I have one and have found it very good. Cameron went through the set up with me twice and it is very good. There was an issue with it early on until there was a software update as it would not retain memory, thats now ok.
The set up is good as it explains what to do as you go through it.
The Spartan studio is very easy to follow. It flys very well and is very stable:)

That is very good to hear! So close to pulling the trigger on one and testing it on my 700 KSE. Thanks for the input :) !

I picked one up for the Gob 570 build last year. It along with the kit is still on the shelf. Need to sell some stuff off and get back in the building game.

Oh and I heard that there might be jeti integration. So it could be a selling point. That's if your into expensive radio integration.
