Servo Reversing and Customization – Reflex vs. Arrows Vector
The Reflex and the Arrows Vector systems are both 3-axis gyro flight stabilizers designed to enhance flight stability and responsiveness. Functionally, they share the same stabilization concept — but the Reflex offers full programmability and customization, while the Vector is pre-configured for specific aircraft and cannot be reprogrammed.
Arrows Vector (Non-Programmable)
The Vector comes preset from the factory for the specific aircraft it’s installed in. All gyro settings, servo directions, and stabilization gains are tuned for that exact airframe.
It can technically be used in other aircraft, but only if the servo layout and control surface orientation are identical to the model it was originally designed for.
Since it cannot be connected to a computer or app for programming, any differences in servo direction or control geometry will cause incorrect control responses.
The Vector is essentially a plug-and-play stabilizer for one specific airplane — reliable and simple, but not adaptable.
Reflex (Programmable)
The Reflex V3 is a programmable stabilizer, allowing pilots to load model-specific profiles or adjust custom settings through the FMS app. Each aircraft profile contains factory-tuned gyro sensitivity, control mapping, and stabilization parameters.
However, it’s important to note that:
Servo reversing is not available in most factory aircraft profiles. These profiles assume the same servo orientation as the original FMS aircraft they were designed for.
If your aircraft uses different servo directions or geometry, loading an existing model profile may cause reversed or incorrect control movements.
“Other_Plane” Profile (Custom Setup)
For aircraft not listed in the Reflex app — or for users who want full control — the Reflex includes a profile called “other_plane.”
This mode allows for complete customization, including servo reversing, gain adjustments, and gyro sensitivity tuning.
It’s ideal for scratch-built, modified, or third-party aircraft where factory profiles don’t match servo orientations or control setups.
With “other_plane,” you can tailor the Reflex to any configuration:
Reverse servos as needed
Adjust gyro gain and sensitivity per axis
Fine-tune stabilization to suit your aircraft’s size, weight, and flight style
