Product Details

The SK360 replaces the mechanical flybar on your R/C Helicopter, which makes it lighter, fly longer on the same battery charge, and reduces replacement parts costs. The result is a big step up for scale and performance models alike. Go flybarless!


SK360 Electronic Flybar setup and review on HELIFREAK

Download Manual

Software Setup Tutorial

Overview

Throw out your "1940’s-technology" mechanical flybar and replace it with a state of the art Digital Flybar. Rock solid hovering with a less complex, lighter rotorhead for more power or longer flight times!

The SK-360 Digital Flybar is a high performance, compact and lightweight electronic pitch and roll stabilizer for model helicopters of all sizes. Its function is to replace the traditional flybar (stabilizer bar) and its association linkages, boosting power, increasing flight times and reducing repair costs.

For 3D flying, dial up cyclic rates to the limit of blade stall, without losing any stability. This gives your heli lightning-quick 3D, with great performance in wind and a solid hover!

For Scale flying, cyclic rates can be dialed down for smooth, steady flight even in gusty wind. Both the look and the sound are more realistic. The SK360 flies great with 2, 3, 4, or 5 blades.

The SK-360 is a compact, single unit, and comes with a USB interface included. It weighs only 16 grams, and can be mounted upside-down, backwards, or rotated 90 degrees to fit in any heli.

The PC setup software lets you fully configure the swash mixing, servo motion, and stability. And, it's easy to upgrade the firmware at home so you'll benefit from any future product improvements with the click of your mouse. Plus, the setup software displays the precision PWM inputs and outputs, making it an excellent calibration tool for your servos and radio.

(Note: For nitro helis, the SK360 has now been tested up to 90 size)

 

Control Options:
· Adjustable Bell and Hiller ratio (direct vs. stabilized control)
· Adjustable roll (aileron) and pitch (elevator) rates
· Control feel is adjustable in-flight with optional Bank Switching & gain channel

· Swash servo-equalizing prevents uncommanded collective in aggressive maneuvers

High Performance:
· Synchronous, 12-bit precision (4096 step) PWM inputs from your radio
· Tightly grouped 12-bit servo PWM outputs for low swash motion error
· Super-accurate, crystal driven PWM timing
· Optional 125 Hz Digital servo frame rate
· Minimal lag (just a few milliseconds)
· Individually temperature compensated
· Wide input voltage range (up to 8.5 volts)

used on a 600N. Setup was easy enough but will take some patients. After about 3 weeks the unit would not send or receive info. Had to send it back for an exchange and pay freight again. The LCD screen that was purchased at the same time is now defective and had to be sent back to Skookum for repair. Freight charges again! The Support is slow........at least a day or 2 before receiving a response. Overall I like the product and it makes a new machine out of your Heli. Perhaps R & D & QC needs to work a little harder.

I have the SK360 on my Align T-Rex 500. I chose the SK360 because I am happy with my current tail gyro (Spartan DS760)) The SK360 is very easy to setup and the helicopter flies really well. Support is also good from the maker of the gyro. The heli has noticably more power with a flybarless setup and is very fast on tumbles and flips! Recommend it highly.
