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 actually been fine-tuned and enhanced, and in the end, we can say this system simply has no equal on the marketplace today. The iKon prepares to change everything. Get ready for the iKon - it's prepared for you.

Vibration Resistant - Bad Vibes Goodbye.
Simply put, gyros dislike vibration, when a flybarless system is delicate to vibration, this has a direct impact on flight performance. The iKon flybarless device utilizes brand-new vibration dampening technology to isolate vibrations and put them in their location. This leads to rock solid flight with nothing however real, direct flight performance that you can see and feel.

Simplified Setup - The Wizard is Here.
Nothing is more annoying, frustrating 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. Utilizing a simple to follow and fuss totally free setup, the iKon takes a streamlined approach to flybarless setup, allowing you to spend less time tuning and more time flying - just the way it should be.

Auto Level Innovation - This is It.
That sickening crash can now be put behind you with auto level technology. For anybody still learning the basics, or those pressing brand-new 3D limits, the auto level technology built within the iKon will transform the way you fly, allowing you to press the limits with less risk of crashing. This technology is among the several factors that make the iKon so unique, allowing a recovery from any orientation, no matter if the airplane is best side up or upside down. Unlike other "bail out" technologies, the iKon "knows" how the airplane is orientated, allowing a right side up recover every time. Further, with auto level technology, the airplane will stay level, allowing those very 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, together with S-Bus technology via Futaba. On the Spektrum side, (2) satellite ports are provided for maximum redundancy & course diversity, fit for helicopters 500 sized and greater.

Integrated in Guv - Set Your Speed & Flight Mode.
Utilizing a transmitter selectable governor, the iKon brings compact flybarless technology to every level of the helicopter, allowing you to dial because best rotor speed that matches your design, all at the flip of a switch. Incorporating a selectable (3) change flight mode program, the iKon permits you to dial in your helicopter with fully adjustable flight mode specifications to acquire the very best from every flight. No more ancillary gadgets required on your maker - the iKon handles all of it.

So how does it compare to other devices? (From RCHeli Nation Evaluation)

"As the majority of you know the majority of my flying has actually been on either a BeastX or a V-Bar, so these are the devices I will be directly comparing to the iKON. I will start off with the BeastX. In my opinion, the iKON is way ahead of the BeastX in terms of flying attributes and the functions it offers. Please don't believe I am saying the BeastX is a bad device. It has its place, It is simple to setup and will fly fantastic best our of the box, which is fantastic for anybody who wants to keep it easy of for those just getting going with flybarless. When you advance enough to the point where you desire more functions however, I feel the iKON is an excellent next choice.

Now for the big one, comparing it to my V-Bars. In the end, in my mind I now consider these devices to be.wait for it.equal! In terms of the software application used for programs, the V-Bar is the clear winner, however taking a look at the flight performance and functions, the choice ends up being a lot more hard. When comparing the performance in terms of cyclic and tail I would say these devices are so close it is hard to even tell them apart when flying them. They both offer you an extremely 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 people who fly faster then me, this argument might not hold true, however this is exactly what I found.

Now, when it comes to functions I need to say the iKON is the winner for me. It has an internal governor, which is simple to wire considering that there are so many 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 considering that it is not worth the electrical wiring catastrophe this develops. The last thing is the bailout. There is no competition, as the V-Bar does not have a similar feature. When you combine all of this with the considerably lower rate of the iKON, in my opinion, the iKON comes out equal if not a little ahead of the V-Bar."
