I fly an SJ8, I use MK...but now wish I had gone for hoverfly to be 100% honest with you. In fact I'm also considering thier gimbal stabilisation controller as well!

Hi Ross,
It's still something of a challenge to do big heli's with the MK system. Is yours very stable with the I2c to PWM converter? I actually put my converter to use on a small quad with a spare MK controller and it had the wobbles, same as the first time I used it....but.....I threw two additional batteries on it (2.5 lbs more weight) and the wobbles went away. Pretty strange. It seems to me that the wobbles are a bit of over-controlling going on and the extra weight damped it out.
Maybe?

as to the OP's question, I'm building a second HFP based XY8 fwiw.

I do occasionally here a motor spin up for no apparent reason, she can be a bit twitchy unless I have my 40D on board, so yes the extra weight does indeed smooth her out. When PH reply to my emails, I will get the AV200 & RSGS & give her another try.

Are you wanting to do any waypoint flying? If so, MK is the way to go.

Hoverfly Pro! I'm gonna be gettign another one here myself and swapping out the DJI stuff for them in the future. Just predictable and buttery smooth without the headache of having to make precision gain adjustments.

Vote for YS-X6 if you take that in count. Like it much more smooth and rigid in Cinestar 6 than wkm, not any kind of issues so far and works great with big props and big payload, and lots of very good features in entry level package. But i really like to try HF pro too with HF gps, but only concern is how is autolevel and gps performance these days? I need them both working well for single man operation.

I haven't tried HF GPS, but autolevel works great these days. The fine tuning you can do in software is really nice.

Thank u to everyone, I will go for Hoverfly. I would like to see some videos with gps too because we usually fly very far so I think it would be usefull. At this time we don't need waypoint, we will need it next spring. I don't have experience in multirotors, I was planning to buy KW8 Motors, witch ESCS do you suggest with Hoverfly?
