New user infos

As there are many pilots converting existing stuff or building new stuff equiped with VBar Control - we decides to publish a small guideline here.

You may find more infos in the manuals for VBar Control or VBar NEO of course (online or print) which are written for the delivery state.

Manuals for aditional features like NEO Firmware (Pro, Pro rescue, VPlane) or VBar Control Apps can be found online here on the site - or easily - by clicking on the regarding app icon in the app store.

Precondition is of course the Mikado ID - which is the usual www-mikado-heli.de shop login. So get one if you don't have it - and log into this page with the same account.
