SK-540

[Cascade]

Great video on the update page, surprised he had any skids left after that one.
On a related note, I have 3 or 4 test sleds here at home

Please keep the updates coming!

Is the manual available for download?

Be sure to check out the update on our website as well.

Will it include multi-rotor firmware?


?

Mainly I would like to know are the gyros in the sk540 the same gyro sensor type in the sk720.
( I know the sk540 has 6 gyros, zero acellerometers.) If not what gyro sensors are in the new sk540?

There are various new sensor technology's out and have been out and I've been waiting to see which new systems will be using these new vibration resistant gyro sensors such as the
""ADI’s ADXRS450 digital iMEMS® gyroscope is the industry’s most stable, vibration-immune, low-power MEMS gyro available, with performance of 0.03°/sec/g sensitivity to linear acceleration and power consumption of only 6 mA.""

Spartan has the vortex which posted in will be using a balanced ring mems gyro sensor.
"Superior balanced ring MEMS sensor technology"
http://www.spartan-rc.com/products/vx1/vx1.php

Then there is the mesh brain fbl unit which also seems to have found vib tolerant gyro sensors
"- Vibration insensitive"
http://www.msh-direct.com/products/m...rder-only.html

So it would be a good bit of info to know what sensors are being used , the better the sensor the better the control and reliability.

Even if skookum doesn't want to disclose the specific gyro it is using, at least say if it is the same one in the sk720, just more of them now.

the end of this summer will be exciting to See how all these new fbl units turn out

Pls let me know ASAP.
governor is the only one thing that make me move to SK720 from BeastX

No ACCELS = No Vibe Diagnostics

[augur]

Even Vbar has Vib Dia without accels . So it should be there. But no flight playback.

[georgi UK]

=] it has a switch-able gov and logging,

[RC Mike]

Where are you guys getting them? I have not seen them at any stores.

[phenault]

They are special..

These are pre-production sample / test units for dealers and test pilots.

Production models should be available within a week or two based on the first production model making it to Skookum Robotics just before the weekend.
