I would not get this board if your new to Quads, its quite fiddly to setup and I found it quite difficult to control my quad. It has no self levelling so avoid unless you like pure manual flying.

Very good product, would definitely recommend, this to a beginner getting into the hobby as it needs no programing and it is easy to set up using its 3 potentiometers on the board. It is also cheap and very stable in flight.

I bought this board because the kkboards with the LCD displays were on backorder or in transit in the europe store.

I have been trying to get this working for days.. different firmware, orientation changes X and configurations, gyro stablisation. I got the quad working on configuration stable but it was leaning forward all the time.. it was trimming hell and the fact that there is no visual indication of what is happening is not recommended for the beginner. I have gotten the quad to lift in X mode after I switched from mode (also changing the boards orientation).

This board might go in the garbage bin

I bought one. How do I find out what software config. it has? is it a H or an X for quadcopter? Can I know this without using an programming cable? Thank you!

Based on another review here I learned that the gain pots are reversed. After dialing in some more gain it's flying much better. I was running just under what I thought was 50pcnt before. Anytime I tried going "higher" it started to get uncontrollable. Now I've been slowly working the gain up (what I thought was down) and getting good results. The other thing I learned was that the gyros tend to drift after they warm up a bit. You can reset them by disarming then rearming the board (left stick to lower left to disarm, then to lower right to arm again). I generally have to do this about 2 minutes into the flight, then it seems pretty stable after that.

It is incredible how this simple board performs so well. It may not have the best gyros in the word, and LCD or an ACC, but the truth is that it is very stable and easy to tune in the field. Not just good value for the money, but simply good value.

The best quality/price controller and certainly the best controller with only gyros (no accelerometers).
You will greatly improve it with the 4.7original version of Kaptein kuk.
Just by an USBasp interface, install KKflashtools and choose the version you want, or X and 4.7version for quadcopter. Many others configurations are available except octocopter (just 6 esc outputs)

Original soft, is not very good and could let you think you are a bad pilot or KK board is not very good. It works for quadcopter but it's hard to keep it in place. 4.7 version include P and I control, it's not exactly a return to flat position, but corrections against wind, makes quad return very close and fastly to original position. With 4.7 version, yaw becomes very precise, faster and locked.
