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 perfection. Every element of firmware has been fine-tuned and optimized, and in the end, we can state this system merely has no equal on the market 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, when a flybarless system is sensitive to vibration, this has a direct influence on flight performance. The iKon flybarless system utilizes brand-new vibration moistening technology to isolate vibrations and put them in their place. This leads to rock solid flight with absolutely nothing but true, direct flight performance that you can see and feel.

Streamlined Setup - The Wizard is Here.
Nothing is more annoying, aggravating and time consuming than fumbling with manuals, setup videos and tech help when it concerns appropriate flybarless setup. No more - the wizard takes control. Making use of a simple to follow and fuss free setup, the iKon takes a simplified method to flybarless setup, allowing you to invest less time tuning and more time flying - just the method it must be.

Auto Level Technology - This is It.
That sickening crash can now be put behind you with auto level technology. For anybody still finding out the essentials, or those pressing brand-new 3D limitations, the auto level technology developed within the iKon will change the method you fly, allowing you to press the limitations with less danger of crashing. This technology is one of the several factors that make the iKon so special, allowing a recovery from any orientation, no matter if the aircraft is right side up or upside down. Unlike other "bail out" technologies, the iKon "understands" how the aircraft is orientated, allowing an ideal side up recover every single time. Even further, with auto level technology, the aircraft will stay level, allowing those very first couple of training flights to be really memorable - 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, in addition to S-Bus technology via Futaba. On the Spektrum side, (2) satellite ports are offered for maximum redundancy & path variety, fit for helicopters 500 sized and greater.

Integrated in Governor - 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 in that ideal 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 totally adjustable flight mode criteria to get the best from every flight. No more secondary devices needed on your device - the iKon handles everything.

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

"As most of you know the majority of my flying has 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 method ahead of the BeastX in regards to flying qualities and the features it provides. Please do not think I am saying the BeastX is a bad system. It fits, It is simple to setup and will fly great right our of the box, which is great for anybody who wishes to keep it easy of for those just getting started with flybarless. Once you advance enough to the point where you want more features however, I feel the iKON is a terrific next option.

Now for the huge one, comparing it to my V-Bars. In the end, in my mind I now think about these units to be.wait for it.equal! In regards to the software utilized for shows, the V-Bar is the clear winner, but taking a look at the flight performance and features, the decision becomes a lot more challenging. When comparing the performance in regards to cyclic and tail I would state these units are so close it is tough to even tell them apart when flying them. They both offer you an extremely precise secured feel, and are really tunable for all flying designs. Both can be tuned to the point where there are no unfavorable tendencies. For people who fly faster then me, this argument may not hold true, but this is what I discovered.

Now, when it concerns features I need to state 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 actually never ever even utilized the internal guv on the Mini V-Bar because it is not worth the circuitry disaster this creates. The last thing is the bailout. There is no competitors, as the V-Bar does not have a comparable feature. When you integrate all this with the considerably lower cost of the iKON, in my viewpoint, the iKON comes out equal if not a little ahead of the V-Bar."
