What do you need if you do have absolutely nothing?

Who has got nothing needs next to the Kopter-Basis-Set also a Transmitter, a Receiver with PPM SumSignal and a Charger with Balancer for charging the Lipo's and the transmitter.

What you have to look for if you want to charge Lipo's it can be read under: Lipo

You can get the MikroKopter as a QuadroKopter with four propellers, as a HexaKopter with six propellers or as an OktoKopter with eight propellers in a Basis-Set.
In a Basis-Set there is all you need to built a Kopter. The item discription you can find in our Online-Shop.

Instead of using a Basis-Set you can built your Kopter by yourself. All necessary items you can buy in our Online-Shop.

Kopter Basis-Set

Every Kopter out of a Basis-Set is soft with it's flight characteristics and shows a smooth flight-picture. A propper assembly and soldering is necessary.
Therefore for your convenience the more propellers the Kopter uses the more smooth will be the flight.

If you want to take a camera with your Kopter into the air you need to check on the payload.
This payload defines the weight for additional use to the Basis-Set. In example the camera, cam-holder, a possible video-transmitter, etc.

The payloads for the different Kopters are as follows:

Kopter

• QuadroKopter L4-ME -> payload 400g

• HexaKopter -> payload 800g

• OktoKopter -> payload 1000g

XL-Kopter

• QuadroKopterXL -> payload 1000g

• HexaKopterXL -> payload 1500g

• OktoKopterXL -> payload 2500g

Those payload datas are also for your safety!

• If you use higher payloads the items could be overloaded and damaged or a propeller could break and the Kopter will cause a crash!

How you built a Kopter you can read here: assembly Overview

Overview of the actual complete sets out of the MK-Shop:

Propeller Info:
For trainings- or funflights you can use the EPP propellers. If you will fly with a small or big payload (e.g. with a camera) you should better use APS or CFK Propellers. These propellers hold significantly more stress than the EPP Propeller.
Propeller should also be regularly checked for damage, cracks, etc. and replaced if required.

Transmitter + Receiver

To control the Kopter you need a transmitter and also a receiver. Actually you can use any brands of transmitters in general, they just need to have more than four channels. The receiver MUST provide you a PPM Sumsignal. This will be used from the FlightCtrl for the control itself. A regular receiver with servo-outputs cannot be used.

Suitable receiver can be found here Shop .

• If there is no matching receiver with PPM Summery-Signal for an already existing transmitter, you can built and create with an additional circuit-board QuadroPPM12 and an existing receiver a PPM Summery-Signal.
  
  

For each function at the Kopter you need to have one channel at the transmitter. For the controls Throttle/Yaw/Nick/Roll you need to have four channels. This first four channnels are asigned to the sticks of the transmitter.
In addition: if you want to hold automatically your altitude with an altitude-sensor you need to have an additional channel. These can be programed to a switch to your transmitter. If the Kopter will get a GPS-System you can hold with an additional channel exactly the position (PH) or you fly back automatically to your startpoint (CH).
Please note: for all additional functions you need to have an additional channel.

As a transmitter/receiver you can use a 35MHz-System or a 2,4 GHz-System.
In a 35MHz-System transmitter and receiver must have a crystal. This crystal defines the transmitting-/ receiving channel.

Will be this channel used by another hobby pilot it will come to interferences of it's function. This will cause a malfunction and also a Kopter-crash.

A 2,4 GHz system doesn't use a crystal for the channels.
If a 2,4 GHz tansmitter/receiver will be used those two components will be coppled to each other. This connection is a one-time process.

If another model-pilot is using a 2,4 GHz transmitter/receiver there will be no interference!

The MikroKopter can transfer telemetric datas like altitude, distance, voltage of accus, remaining voltage etc. Those datas can be only processed by the Jeti-System. Other transmitters with telemetric modules are not able to process those specific datas!

Examples without telemetric display:

• 2,4GHZ-System: e.g. Spektrum DX7 Mode 2

• 35MHZ-System: e.g. Graupner MX-16s

Examples with telemetric display:

• 2.4GHz Graupner MX-20 HoTT

• 2.4GHz e.g. Jeti-Duplex with a Graupner MX-16s or MX-22
  

More information about transmitters under: Transmitter

Charger technology

The Kopter as well as the transmitter will get their energy out of accus. The Kopter will use accus called: Lipo's, in the transmitter you will find mostly NiMH accus.

To charge those accus you need a special charger. For charging a Lipo you need a charger with a balancer-connection. During the charging process each cell of the Lipo will be controlled.

Here you can find some information about charging a Lipo and safety rules: Lipo

Charger:

• Ultramat8

• Ultramat14 plus

• Power Peak C8 EQ-BID

Charger cable for transmitter and Lipo's:

• Deans charging cabel

• Transmitter charging cabel (Transmitter will be delivered mostly without charger cable.)

Extras

GPS-System

The GPS-System provides you different functions with the Kopter and can be installed also afterwards.
If you use a GPS-System, the position of the Kopter can be determined. Also a position can be held exactly with the function "PositionHold". An automatic backflight to the startpoint is possible with the function "ComingHome" .

An additional feature is the waypoint-flight. Here you can fly automatically to already marked points on a map and you can be hooked up with functions like automatic snap-shots. Also your flight route can be saved on a SD-Card.

How this works see here: waypoint-flight

For the GPS-System you need to have following components:

• NaviCtrl (Navigation - controller incl. compass und SD-Cardholder)

• MKGPS (GPS-Receiver)

The new NaviCtrl2.0 has already included the compass! So you don't need a MK3Mag!
Only with the "old" NaviCtrl1.1 you need a MK3Mag .

Wireless Communication

Normally the Kopter will be connected and tuned with the MK-USB to the PC. If you want to check on your flight route on a map or you want to transfer datas for the way-point-flight during a flight you will have to have a wireless connection.
Therefore you can choose between two systems.

Bluetooth:
Here you can fix a Bluetooth-Set to the Kopter. The other side can be a laptop with Bluetooth function.

• Bluetooth-Set (also you can connect a mobile phone with the MikroKopter)

If you want to increase the distance you can use two Bluetooth-Sets. The two sets need to be coppled to each other and they will communicate free of intereference to each other. The second Bluetooth-Set will be hooked up to the PC over the MK-USB.

Wi232:
Another opportunity you will have with the Wi232-Set. This set gives you a larger distance. You need to have two sets. One set you'll install direct at the Kopter, the other one you hook up over the MK-USB to the PC.

• Wi232

Cameramount

If you want to take a cam with your Kopter you need to have a cameramount which fits to the cam.
The cameramounts can be fixed to all Kopter. Please make sure that the landing gear is high enough for the cameramount and that the Kopter can lift the weight of the cam.
The information for measurements of the cameramount and the right landing-gear can be find in the item discription of the cam-holder.
A little difference is only with the L4-ME Set. You should only use a small cam-holder and a longer landing-gear.

Different cameramounts:

• Shoplink

• Tripod screw

Specific cable:

• Shuttercable

Misc.

If you need spare parts of propeller, Lipo's etc. please have a look into our Online-Shop: Shop

Examples:

Weight, Carry-Power and Flight time of the Sets

According to the used Kopter and the total weight within the used Lipo's the flight time is various.
Infos about the flight times you can find here:
