Throw out your "1940’s-technology" mechanical flybar and replace it with a state of the art digital flybar. Rock solid hovering with a less complex, lighter rotorhead for more power or longer flight times!
The Skookum SK360 replaces the mechanical flybar on your R/C Helicopter, which makes it lighter, fly longer on the same battery charge, and reduces replacement parts costs. The result is a big step up for scale and performance models alike. Go flybarless!
The SK-360 is a high performance, compact and lightweight electronic pitch and roll stabilizer for RC helicopters of all sizes. Its function is to replace the traditional flybar and its associated linkages, boosting power, increasing flight times and reducing repair costs.
For 3D flying, dial up cyclic rates to the limit of blade stall, without losing any stability. This gives your heli lightning-quick 3D, with great performance in wind and a solid hover!
For scale flying, cyclic rates can be dialed down for smooth, steady flight even in gusty wind. Both the look and the sound are more realistic. The SK360 flies great with 2, 3, 4, or 5 blades.
The SK-360 is a compact, single unit. It weighs only 16 grams, and can be mounted upside-down, backwards, or rotated 90 degrees to fit in almost any heli.
The PC setup software lets you fully configure the swash mixing, servo motion, and stability. And, it's easy to upgrade the firmware at home so you'll benefit from any future product improvements with the click of your mouse. Plus, the setup software displays the precision PWM inputs and outputs, making it an excellent calibration tool for your servos and radio.
Control Options:
· Adjustable Bell and Hiller ratio (direct vs. stabilized control)
· Adjustable roll (aileron) and pitch (elevator) rates
· Control feel is adjustable in-flight with optional Bank Switching & gain channel
Swashplate Options:
· Works with Digital or Analog servos
· Suitable for 120, 135/140, and 90 degree eCCPM, as well as mCCPM swashplates
· Swash Ring anti-binding algorithm
· Phase Trim adjustable to +-90°
· Swash servo-equalizing prevents uncommanded collective in aggressive maneuvers
High Performance:
· Synchronous, 12-bit precision (4096 step) PWM inputs from your radio
· Tightly grouped 12-bit servo PWM outputs for low swash motion error
· Super-accurate, crystal driven PWM timing
· Optional 125 Hz Digital servo frame rate
· Minimal lag (just a few milliseconds)
· Individually temperature compensated
Note: We have personally tested the SK360 on 50 and 90 size helicopters and have realised that it is the best new development since the heading hold gyro.
