Hoverfly Flight Boards and GPS Boards now available

We are now a stocking dealer for HOVERFLY FLIGHT BOARDS and HOVERFLY GPS.

Full details of these new boards are available at http://www.hoverflytech.com/ .

We have been swapping out many of our past clients who have Mikrokopter flight boards on their Hexa & Octo’s  with this newer superior Hoverfly Flight board.

WHY SWITCH ?? The main difference is the fact Mikrokopter BL- ESC get “HOT” during flight, we have all tried different methods to prevent them from in flight failure, but it happens.   Heavy Lifter OCTO’s & HEXA, need bigger motors with bigger ESC.

There is NO LIMIT on the motor size, or ESC size with a Hoverfly Flight Board.   George at HoverFly tec has tested 14 to 15 inch props on a multi rotor lifting over 20 pounds.   This will allow you to use bigger AXI motors without fear of weight restrictions or over heating a ESC.  All will work.

AMAZING !!  Plus they will soon have a Camera Gimbal stabilization board coming out  in a month, check back.

TO ORDER YOUR SET OF BOARDS:  E-mail me directly for now, soon they will be on our shopping cart system.
