Art said in the podcast, "we keep thinking it's getting really close to release, but it's an engineering project so release is always a month away. At least near the tail end of the project." -which I took to mean it may be released within a month, but it's possible we may have to remain patient a bit longer. It does sound like just the flybarless unit I've been waiting for: 3 axis unit with 3 axis accelerometer, flybarless, horizontal stabilization (either constant or switched on in flight,) single unit (except for larger helis due to heavier wiring causing vibration trouble,) uses satellite receivers, upgradable. I do AP, so the discussion of a potential gps add-on was also intriguing to me as well.

Just a question?!
Will the SK360 update be available around the same time as the 720 release? Will definitely be a Happy holiday season if so ;-)...

Alvin, I am very interested in scale flying and want to give the new SK720 a try. Please when posting videos of it make sure include some nice and stable (possible with scale body...) flying videos as well. Thanks , |

After listening to the inside heli podcast today, I'm even more excited about the SK720! The hardware sounds awesome. The addition of auto training on the hiller gain sounds like it will show up on both the 360/720 units which is good news. Art also provided some more detail on the logging capabilities, which include the ability to play back stick movements and eventually combine this with logged GPS data. Eventually you'll be able to play back a virtual version of your flight! Too cool!
There was also a discussion of adding features to establish a "do not cross" line on both a vertical and horizontal plane. So basically you'll be able to setup your heli so it won't hit the ground or cross the flight line. This feature is a long ways away though, but the hardware is capable. This thing sounds truly next generation if it delivers on it's promise. |

I hate to sound ignorant, but I wanted some clarity on the issue of accelerometers. Will the stock unit have accelerometers in it that can govern the heli's position and acceleration in 3D(like a true autopilot that is popular in aerial photography)? Or are they saying that the unit will be compatible and expandable with accelerometers that can be plugged into the unit?

They will be built in, but not necessarily used in normal flight.

Search for All Things That Fly Podcast in Itunes. This includes InsideHeli and the ATTF podcasts. They are great podcasts! You have a few years to catch up on..
I hope this thing shows up before 2010. Daily I keep reconsidering the v-bar or Gyrobot. |

I think we all agree (including Art) that 2 axis systems have big limitations. This is why he's abandoning the idea. The big advantage was price point. But most guys just sell the tail gyro anyway when they buy the 3 axis system.
