Its been done but not recorded and its great at it. Add that James has now got basic camera stabilization work (coming in next release we hope), it should be a great FPV platform.

I have some very good news soon as well that people waiting to buy these boards will like as well.

SPILL THE BEANS. I am impatiently waiting on 2 more boards.

Me too.

Don't suppose anyone has a cc board they want to part with?? Love to try one out.

I have been following this since the boards were still available, but I waited too long to order one. I have a tri frame just itching for this board. It wil be my first muli-rotor machine, and I am very excited at the possibilities, especially that it might be able to eventually replace my much more expensive Skokum 720 in my flybarless helicopters.

Hurry up on stock. My credit card is waiting.

We are working on the flybarless support right now.

Its nothing urgent, of course boards have been ordered and the first urgent batch are now in production. I will let you guys know as soon as they arrive here, promise.

Thanks dankers. I have been following the OP forums, and the flybarless support is of particular interest to me.

You guys are doing a great thing here. I can't wait to actually be part of it.

Will be first available in USA or Europe. We need in Europe

The FBL aspect is interesting to be sure. The current low cost provider with solid performance is ~$200 (microbeast). Some might be less expensive (HobbyKing), but are still $150 or so.

I'd reccomend a plastic case that the CC could be installed in. Screw downs in a heli are not the norm. It also allows use of foam for vibration control.

I have a Miniature Aircraft 10s FBL Furion 6(BEAST)running the Microbeast BeastX and it ROCKS. Would be sweet if this was the same or better for under $100. It sure kicks a$$ on my tri.

I have a Microbeast on my Trex 500, and I like it as well. I have a feeling I might regret selling my Trex 450, even though I sold it before I knew about CC, because I could have used it to experiment with the CC FBL support. Oh, well.

The easiest way would be to just mounting the board backward and in the attitude settings add 180 degree of yaw rotation. You can also just design a custom mixer without much effort.

I don't see how you avoid a yaw servo though. I don't see enough degrees of freedom to keep it flying that way.

Hmmm...didn't think of that ability. I don't know if I'll ever do a reverse Tri, but you never know...
