iKON iKON2 HD Flybarless System with Integrated Bluetooth Module - Mi

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 state this system simply has no equal on the market today. The iKon is ready to alter 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 impact on flight efficiency. The iKon flybarless unit makes use of brand-new vibration dampening technology to isolate vibrations and put them in their place. This results in rock solid flight with absolutely nothing however true, direct flight efficiency that you can see and feel.

Streamlined Setup - The Wizard is Here.
Nothing is more annoying, 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. Utilizing an easy to follow and fuss complimentary setup, the iKon takes a simplified approach to flybarless setup, permitting you to invest less time tuning and more time flying - simply the method it must be.

Automobile Level Technology - This is It.
That sickening crash can now be put behind you with auto level technology. For anyone still finding out the fundamentals, or those pressing brand-new 3D limits, the auto level technology built within the iKon will change the method you fly, permitting you to push the limits with less risk of crashing. This technology is one of the numerous factors that make the iKon so special, permitting a recovery from any orientation, no matter if the aircraft is right side up or upside down. Unlike other "bail out" innovations, the iKon "understands" how the aircraft is orientated, permitting an ideal side up recover every time. Further, with auto level technology, the aircraft will stay level, permitting those first few training flights to be truly memorable - in a good 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 through Futaba. On the Spektrum side, (2) satellite ports are provided for optimum redundancy & path variety, suited 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, permitting you to dial in that ideal rotor speed that suits your style, all at the flip of a switch. Including a selectable (3) change flight mode program, the iKon enables you to dial in your helicopter with completely adjustable flight mode parameters to get the very best from every flight. No more supplementary gadgets needed on your machine - the iKon manages all of it.

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

"As most 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 method ahead of the BeastX in terms of flying qualities and the functions it provides. Please do not think I am saying the BeastX is a bad unit. It has its place, It is simple to setup and will fly terrific right our of the box, which is terrific for anyone who wants to keep it simple of for those simply starting with flybarless. As soon as you advance enough to the point where you desire more functions though, I feel the iKON is a fantastic 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 utilized for programming, the V-Bar is the clear winner, however looking at the flight efficiency and functions, the choice becomes far more challenging. When comparing the efficiency in terms of cyclic and tail I would state these devices are so close it is tough to even tell them apart when flying them. They both offer you a very exact locked in feel, and are really tunable for all flying styles. Both can be tuned to the point where there are no unfavorable tendencies. For people who fly more difficult then me, this argument might not hold true, however this is what I found.

Now, when it comes to functions I have to state the iKON is the winner for me. It has an internal governor, which is simple to wire because there are many ports on the unit.not the case with the Mini V-Bar. Due to this I have never even utilized the internal governor on the Mini V-Bar because it is not worth the electrical wiring catastrophe this produces. The final thing is the bailout. There is no competitors, as the V-Bar does not have a comparable function. When you combine all this with the substantially lower rate of the iKON, in my opinion, the iKON comes out equal if not a little ahead of the V-Bar."
