Another RCX 250 hits the streets

Just finished building another 250 for a friend here.
I had initially set it up with a CC3D board, but it was defective. Chinese clone does it again
So I put a KK2.1.5 board in. Just tuning it up now.

The KK2 may be 8bit, but it took me less than one battery to get it dialled in LOL

Doing mathematical functions on an 8 bit processor is a pain in the butt really, especially when your using sensors that produce 10+ bit results. Processing is slower. 32 bit is a doddle. Therefore much faster, quicker response times too

Nice one Lee:) any reason why you use the 8 channel FRSky? is it to add on to with FPV/GPS etc at a later date?

Thats not mine Graham.
I built it for a friend, and thats what he had.
Only had it a couple of months and he's selling it.
They are all plane guys here. Don't have the coordination to fly helis and multis LOL

because it rocks. i use it with futaba 8j and delta 8 reciever (frsky) it gives me a fulll range reciever all 8 channels and rssi and to complete the deal, it is half the price of a futaba 6ch sbus receiver (£60?$100) for a full range receiver. its a no brainer to me. and the main thing is it just works

Got two more locals interested in mini quads and FPV.
I just spent on there behalf nearly 1000 euros on gear
Two fully set up quads
Two sets of fatsharks and all the FPV gear.
Batteries and two chargers.
Lots of toys to play with
