Flight Ctrl V2.5
The !Flight-Ctrl V2.5 is now equipped with a new pressure sensor and a more powerful ACC sensor.
Now we have a significantly better height control and flights are possible up to 5000mtr.
The FlightCtrl V2.5 is shipped with:
- already assembled cables for:
- a PPM Sum signal receiver
- and a Telemetry connection
- already installed with the latest software
- fully tested for functionality
INFO:
You can use the FlightCtrl V2.5 only with the MikroKopter Software since Version V2.00d !
TIPP:
Below you can download a finished setting for the FlightCtrl where all functions are already set.
New thing on the FlightCtrl V2.5:
- new Air pressure sensor (with light / wind protection)
- new ACC-Sensor
- better altitude control
- less sensitive to vibrations (all Axis)
- Altitude sensor work now up to 5000m
- LEDs on the switching outputs
- Voltage up to 7S (30V)
- Protection resistors to the servo outputs
- 400uF for better voltage regulation on the power supply
- Note: Not compatible with older firmware versions!

Futaba S.Bus receiver
You can connect a S.Bus receiver with a Signal-Inverter on the FlightCtrl.
Here you can order the needed inverter: Shoplink
