This is a plane saver, similar to the SAFE technology found in E flite models. with a flick of a switch it self-stabilizes the plane (level wing out and brings to horizontal) - you can teach yourself how to fly with it without destroying your model or you can let a person who never flown to have a go without the fear of crashing. it's a great safety feature. the best product sold here.

This review is a mixed bag. The ark bird tiny is a great product, but it will not work for what I ordered it for. It works flawlessly as described but this only allows you one port for ailerons and elevator. I can not get around the dual aileron thing unless I use a y cable. ( and my elevator is two channels too)

On other planes with a single channel aileron setup, this is a simply flawless product.

For compatibility, I am not sure where I am headed but will be either the multiwii pro option, or the copilot ii. (Have one of those just haven't tested it yet)

I use the Arkbird Mini to stabilize gliders which are my lifetime passion of 57 years of flying R/C. It absolutely locks the pitch attitude while flying and compensates when the spoilers come out. It works perfectly, very accurate in the true level mode. Slight drift with large temperature changes. VERY fast response in all modes, I highly recommend it. Small enough to be used almost anywhere. Manual is a bit brief as it assumes you have a working knowledge of Stabilization and use of same. The PID algorithm seems perfect. It does not have all the bells and whistles that other units have but it is what it is and I damn well like it. I only wish they made a micro single axis true level unit. There are better and worse units out there but for the money, this is the real deal. I have a third one on order as I speak.
