Order here: Shop

The Okto-XL is available in a ARF (Almost ready to Fly) - Version.

Only a few steps are nessecary:

• Assemble the Lipo-holder
• Attach the landing gear
• Attach the receiver
• Mount the propellers

No soldering nessecary!

All electronic devices are tested, programmed and configurated.

GPS and NaviCtrl are already included.

The ARF-Okto is already configurated for the mx-32 and mx.32 HoTT Transmitters. So it is the easiest way to start.

Transmitter functions

All major functions of the OktoKopter can be controlled from ground:

• Pitch / roll / yaw and trottle to fly
• GPS mode
• Altitude controller
• Camera tilt
• Camera control (video start / stop or continuous shooting)
• Direction independent control mode "Carefree"
• ...

Telemetry

The following values ​​are displayed in the Telemetry menu:

• Battery voltage [V]
• Flight time [min:sec]
• Used Lipo Capacity [mAh]
• Altitude [m]

• Direction of the MikroKopter [°]

• Current [A]
• Number of GPS satellites
• Speed [km/H]
• Distance and direction to the starting position [m],[°]
• Error message in plain text when needed

Additionally you can have additional information such as the single temperatures of each motor controller (Brushless ESC).

Speech

The transmitter has a built-in speech output. So, all values ​​of the telemetry are available as an announcement.

Example: If you move the GPS switch to the "hold position", says the station "GPS hold".

In addition, important messages are spoken automatically like "Low Voltage".

Technical data

• Dimensions 73x73x36 (BxLxH)
• Payload: recommended max. payload = 2500g
• Max. altitude: Line of sight (several 100m)
• Max. distance: Line of sight (several 100m)
• Flight time: max. 45min at full battery load (30Ah)
• Realistic flight time: 18-28Min (10Ah) See tables below
• Telemetry with speech: Voltage, capacity, current, altitude, distance, direction, speed, temperature, ...

Flight times

The flight times can be read in the diagrams below

Flight time over capacity

There are three different curves below

• Hoovering -> with no wind and e.g. position Hold

• Normal -> in light wind and normal flight

• Sportive -> high winds or fast flight

• Example: max. 28.6 min at 10.000mAh (e.g. 2 * 5.000mAh parallel)
• Example: max. 40.5 min at 20.000mAh (e.g. 4 * 5.000mAh parallel)

Flight time with 10Ah Lipo

Here are also the three curves (see above)

The curves are calculated for a 10.000 Lipo.

• Example: Without payload: max. 28,6 min
• Example: With 1000g payload: max 20min
