iKON Flybarless System with Polarity Protection Feature

Brought forth by MSH - the makers of the 'Brain' - the iKon represents a new leap in flybarless control. Bert Kammerer, in cooperation with MSH, worked relentlessly to tweak the iKon flybarless controller to excellence. Every aspect of firmware has actually been fine-tuned and optimized, and in the end, we can say this system just has no equal on the marketplace today. The iKon is ready to alter everything. Get ready for the iKon - it's all set for you.

Vibration Resistant - Bad Vibes Goodbye.
Simply put, gyros hate vibration, when a flybarless system is sensitive to vibration, this has a direct impact on flight efficiency. The iKon flybarless unit utilizes new vibration moistening innovation to isolate vibrations and put them in their place. This results in rock solid flight with nothing however real, direct flight efficiency that you can see and feel.

Simplified Setup - The Wizard is Here.
Nothing is more annoying, discouraging and time consuming than fumbling with handbooks, setup videos and tech assistance when it comes to proper flybarless setup. No more - the wizard takes control. Using a simple to follow and fuss complimentary setup, the iKon takes a simplified approach to flybarless setup, allowing you to spend less time tuning and more time flying - simply the way it should be.

Car Level Technology - This is It.
That sickening crash can now be put behind you with automobile level innovation. For anyone still learning the basics, or those pushing new 3D limitations, the automobile level innovation constructed within the iKon will change the way you fly, allowing you to press the limitations with less threat of crashing. This innovation is one of the numerous reasons that make the iKon so unique, allowing a recovery from any orientation, no matter if the aircraft is best side up or upside down. Unlike other "bail out" technologies, the iKon "knows" how the aircraft is orientated, allowing an ideal side up recover every single time. Even more, with automobile level innovation, the aircraft will stay level, allowing those very first couple of training flights to be truly remarkable - in a great way.

Satellite & S-Bus Ready - It's Your Choice.
Allowing the benefit of satellite innovation, the iKon supports Spektrum DSM2 & DSMX satellite receivers, together with S-Bus innovation through Futaba. On the Spektrum side, (2) satellite ports are provided for optimum redundancy & path diversity, fit for helicopters 500 sized and higher.

Built in Governor - Set Your Speed & Flight Mode.
Utilizing a transmitter selectable governor, the iKon brings compact flybarless innovation to every level of the helicopter, allowing you to dial in that best rotor speed that fits your design, all at the flip of a switch. Including a selectable (3) change flight mode program, the iKon permits you to dial in your helicopter with fully adjustable flight mode criteria to acquire the best from every flight. No more ancillary gadgets needed on your machine - the iKon handles everything.

So how does it compare with other units? (From RCHeli Country Review)

"As the majority of you understand the majority of my flying has actually been on either a BeastX or a V-Bar, so these are the units I will be directly comparing to the iKON. I will begin off with the BeastX. In my opinion, the iKON is way ahead of the BeastX in regards to flying qualities and the features it provides. Please do not think I am stating the BeastX is a bad unit. It fits, It is easy to setup and will fly great best our of the box, which is great for anyone who wishes to keep it basic of for those simply beginning with flybarless. Once you advance enough to the point where you desire more features however, I feel the iKON is a fantastic next option.

Now for the big one, comparing it to my V-Bars. In the end, in my mind I now consider these units to be.wait for it.equal! In regards to the software application used for shows, the V-Bar is the clear winner, however taking a look at the flight efficiency and features, the choice becomes a lot more challenging. When comparing the efficiency in regards to cyclic and tail I would say these units are so close it is hard to even inform them apart when flying them. They both give you a really accurate secured feel, and are really tunable for all flying styles. Both can be tuned to the point where there are no unfavorable tendencies. For individuals who fly more difficult then me, this argument might not be true, however this is what I found.

Now, when it comes to features I have to say the iKON is the winner for me. It has an internal governor, which is easy to wire because there are a lot of ports on the unit.not the case with the Mini V-Bar. Due to this I have actually never ever even used the internal governor on the Mini V-Bar because it is unworthy the electrical wiring catastrophe this develops. The final thing is the bailout. There is no competition, as the V-Bar does not have a comparable feature. When you combine all this with the substantially lower price of the iKON, in my opinion, the iKON comes out equal if not somewhat ahead of the V-Bar."
