iKON Flybarless System with Polarity Protection Feature

Brought forth by MSH - the makers of the 'Brain' - the iKon represents a brand-new leap in flybarless control. Bert Kammerer, in cooperation with MSH, worked tirelessly to fine tune the iKon flybarless controller to excellence. Every aspect of firmware has actually been fine-tuned and enhanced, and in the end, we can say this system just has no equal on the marketplace today. The iKon prepares to change everything. Prepare for the iKon - it's ready for you.

Vibration Resistant - Bad Vibes Goodbye.
Simply put, gyros hate vibration, and when a flybarless system is delicate to vibration, this has a direct effect on flight performance. The iKon flybarless device utilizes new vibration dampening technology to separate vibrations and put them in their location. This leads to rock strong flight with nothing but true, direct flight performance 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 aid when it comes to appropriate flybarless setup. No more - the wizard takes control. Making use of a simple to follow and fuss totally free 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 must be.

Auto Level Innovation - This is It.
That sickening crash can now be put behind you with car level technology. For anyone still finding out the essentials, or those pressing new 3D limitations, the car level technology constructed within the iKon will revolutionize the way you fly, allowing you to push the limitations with less threat of crashing. This technology is among the numerous factors that make the iKon so special, allowing a recovery from any orientation, no matter if the airplane is right side up or upside down. Unlike other "bail out" innovations, the iKon "understands" how the airplane is orientated, allowing an ideal side up recover every single time. Even further, with car level technology, the airplane will remain level, allowing those very first few training flights to be really memorable - in a great way.

Satellite & S-Bus Ready - It's Your Choice.
Allowing the benefit of satellite technology, the iKon supports Spektrum DSM2 & DSMX satellite receivers, in addition to S-Bus technology by means of Futaba. On the Spektrum side, (2) satellite ports are provided for maximum redundancy & path variety, fit for helicopters 500 sized and greater.

Integrated in Guv - Set Your Speed & Flight Mode.
Utilizing a transmitter selectable guv, the iKon brings compact flybarless technology to every level of the helicopter, allowing you to dial because best rotor speed that suits your design, all at the flip of a switch. Integrating a selectable (3) change flight mode program, the iKon permits you to dial in your helicopter with completely adjustable flight mode parameters to obtain the best from every flight. No more supplementary devices needed on your machine - the iKon manages all of it.

So how does it compare with other units? (From RCHeli Nation Evaluation)

"As the majority of you know most of my flying has actually been on either a BeastX or a V-Bar, so these are the units I will be straight comparing with the iKON. I will start off with the BeastX. In my viewpoint, the iKON is way ahead of the BeastX in regards to flying attributes and the functions it offers. Please do not believe I am saying the BeastX is a bad device. It fits, It is simple to setup and will fly great right our of the box, which is great for anyone who wants to keep it easy of for those simply beginning with flybarless. As soon as you advance enough to the point where you want more functions however, I feel the iKON is an excellent 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 programs, the V-Bar is the clear winner, but taking a look at the flight performance and functions, the choice ends up being far more challenging. When comparing the performance in regards to cyclic and tail I would say these units are so close it is tough to even tell them apart when flying them. They both provide you a very accurate secured feel, and are extremely tunable for all flying styles. Both can be tuned to the point where there are no unfavorable propensities. For individuals who fly more difficult then me, this argument might not be true, but this is what I found.

Now, when it comes to functions I have to say the iKON is the winner for me. It has an internal guv, which is simple to wire because there are so many ports on the unit.not the case with the Mini V-Bar. Due to this I have never even used the internal guv on the Mini V-Bar because it is not worth the circuitry disaster this produces. The last thing is the bailout. There is no competitors, as the V-Bar does not have a similar feature. When you combine all of this with the considerably lower price of the iKON, in my viewpoint, the iKON comes out equal if not a little ahead of the V-Bar."
