Default Best flight controller for Cobra Vario !

Hi guys,

I was wondering if some one can suggest a flybarless controller for my next scale project; Cobra ?

I know bavarian demon is well known for giant scale helis for its vibration resistance feature.

I have installed the Skookum Robotics SK-720 in two of my scale helis, its a solid piece of hardware with vibration log feature that comes handy if you really want a vibration free bird.

The other feature SK-720 hold is the multiphasing that is great for multiblade rotor heads. Since the Cobra is 2-blade heli this multi phasing feature is not needed.

So I wanted to use some thing else aside from BD and SK-720 for a change !!

I'm a Futaba fanboy, but I have to say I was/am impressed with the Demon in my big Wolf. It just "works". Almost no tuning from default settings.

I would suggest the Demon as it is well proven in the big scale world. Unless you feel the need to experiment and want to see if something else will work.

Well the Cobra is bad a$$ so you can't go wrong there. I'm a big fan of Ikon/brain.
Here's my freinds 500 Cobra
