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 perfection. Every element of firmware has been fine-tuned and enhanced, and in the end, we can state this system just has no equal on the marketplace today. The iKon prepares to change everything. Get ready for the iKon - it's all set for you.

Vibration Resistant - Bad Vibes Goodbye.
Simply put, gyros dislike vibration, and when a flybarless system is delicate to vibration, this has a direct impact on flight performance. The iKon flybarless system uses new vibration moistening technology to separate vibrations and put them in their place. This results in rock strong flight with absolutely nothing but real, direct flight performance that you can see and feel.

Streamlined Setup - The Wizard is Here.
Nothing is more irritating, discouraging and time consuming than fumbling with manuals, setup videos and tech aid when it comes to proper flybarless setup. No more - the wizard takes control. Using an easy to follow and fuss free setup, the iKon takes a simplified method to flybarless setup, permitting you to invest less time tuning and more time flying - simply the method it should be.

Car Level Technology - This is It.
That sickening crash can now be put behind you with automobile level technology. For anyone still discovering the fundamentals, or those pushing new 3D limits, the automobile level technology built within the iKon will change the method you fly, permitting you to press the limits with less threat of crashing. This technology is among the multiple factors that make the iKon so special, permitting a recovery from any orientation, no matter if the airplane is ideal side up or upside down. Unlike other "bail out" technologies, the iKon "understands" how the airplane is orientated, permitting a right side up recuperate each time. Even further, with automobile level technology, the airplane will stay level, permitting those first couple of training flights to be genuinely remarkable - in an excellent way.

Satellite & S-Bus Ready - It's Your Choice.
Allowing the convenience of satellite technology, the iKon supports Spektrum DSM2 & DSMX satellite receivers, along with S-Bus technology by means of Futaba. On the Spektrum side, (2) satellite ports are provided for optimum redundancy & path diversity, matched for helicopters 500 sized and higher.

Built in Guv - Set Your Speed & Flight Mode.
Utilizing a transmitter selectable governor, the iKon brings compact flybarless technology to every level of the helicopter, permitting you to dial because perfect rotor speed that matches your design, all at the flip of a switch. Incorporating a selectable (3) switch flight mode program, the iKon enables you to dial in your helicopter with totally adjustable flight mode parameters to get the best from every flight. No more ancillary devices needed on your maker - the iKon manages it all.

So how does it compare to other devices? (From RCHeli Country Review)

"As most of you understand most of my flying has been on either a BeastX or a V-Bar, so these are the devices I will be directly comparing with the iKON. I will start off with the BeastX. In my opinion, the iKON is method ahead of the BeastX in terms of flying characteristics and the functions it provides. Please don't think I am saying the BeastX is a bad system. It fits, It is easy to setup and will fly terrific ideal our of the box, which is terrific for anyone who wishes to keep it basic of for those simply getting started with flybarless. As soon as you advance enough to the point where you desire more functions however, I feel the iKON is a terrific next choice.

Now for the big one, comparing it to my V-Bars. In the end, in my mind I now think about these devices to be.wait for it.equal! In terms of the software used for programming, the V-Bar is the clear winner, but looking at the flight performance and functions, the choice becomes far more tough. When comparing the performance in terms of cyclic and tail I would state these devices are so close it is hard to even inform them apart when flying them. They both give you a very accurate locked in 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 harder then me, this argument might not hold true, but this is exactly what I discovered.

Now, when it comes to functions I have to state the iKON is the winner for me. It has an internal governor, which is easy to wire since 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 governor on the Mini V-Bar since it is not worth the circuitry catastrophe this develops. The final thing is the bailout. There is no competitors, as the V-Bar does not have a similar feature. When you combine all this with the significantly lower price of the iKON, in my opinion, the iKON comes out equal if not slightly ahead of the V-Bar."
