The digital signing requirement on windows 8 may need to be turned off to get the IKON drivers to work with Windows 8.
iKon - Are You Ready?
Brought
forth by MSH - the makers of the 'Brain' - the iKon represents a new
leap in flybarless control. Bert Kammerer, in cooperation with MSH,
worked tirelessly to fine tune the iKon flybarless controller to
perfection. Every aspect of firmware has been fine-tuned and optimized,
and in the end, we can say this system simply has no equal on the market
today. The iKon is ready to change everything. Get ready for the iKon -
it's ready for you.
Vibration Resistant - Bad Vibes Goodbye.
Simply
put, gyros hate vibration, and when a flybarless system is sensitive to
vibration, this has a direct impact on flight performance. The iKon
flybarless unit utilizes new vibration dampening technology to isolate
vibrations and put them in their place. This results in rock solid
flight with nothing but true, direct flight performance that you can see
and feel.
Simplified Setup - The Wizard is Here.
Nothing
is more irritating, frustrating and time consuming than fumbling with
manuals, setup videos and tech help when it comes to proper flybarless
setup. No more - the wizard takes control. Utilizing an easy to follow
and fuss free setup, the iKon takes a simplified approach to flybarless
setup, allowing you to spend less time tuning and more time flying -
just the way it should be.
Auto Level Technology - This is It.
That
sickening crash can now be put behind you with auto level technology.
For anyone still learning the basics, or those pushing new 3D limits,
the auto level technology built within the iKon will revolutionize the
way you fly, allowing you to push the limits with less risk of crashing.
This technology is one of the multiple reasons that make the iKon so
special, allowing a recovery from any orientation, no matter if the
aircraft is right side up or upside down. Unlike other "bail out"
technologies, the iKon "knows" how the aircraft is orientated, allowing a
right side up recover every single time. Further, with auto level
technology, the aircraft will remain level, allowing those first few
training flights to be truly memorable - in a good way.
Satellite & S-Bus Ready - It's Your Choice.
Allowing
the convenience of satellite technology, the iKon supports Spektrum
DSM2 & DSMX satellite receivers, along with S-Bus technology via
Futaba. On the Spektrum side, (2) satellite ports are offered for
maximum redundancy & path diversity, suited for helicopters 500
sized and greater.
Built in Governor - Set Your Speed & Flight Mode.
Utilizing
a transmitter selectable governor, the iKon brings compact flybarless
technology to every level of the helicopter, allowing you to dial in
that perfect rotor speed that suits your style, all at the flip of a
switch. Incorporating a selectable (3) switch flight mode program, the
iKon allows you to dial in your helicopter with fully adjustable flight
mode parameters to obtain the very best from every flight. No more
ancillary devices needed on your machine - the iKon handles it all.
Polarity Protection - No more unit burned because wrong direction plug in
iKon
now comes with polarity protection feature. All pins are now polarity
protected. You can put power in any plug in any direction and it doesn't
get damage the unit.

So how does it compare to other units? (From RCHeli Nation Review)
"As most of you know the majority of my flying has been on
either a BeastX or a V-Bar, so these are the units I will be directly
comparing to the iKON. I will start off with the BeastX. In my opinion,
the iKON is way ahead of the BeastX in terms of flying characteristics
and the features it offers. Please don�t think I am saying the BeastX is
a bad unit. It has its place, It is easy to setup and will fly great
right our of the box, which is great for anyone who wants to keep it
simple of for those just getting started with flybarless. Once you
advance enough to the point where you want more features though, I feel
the iKON is a great next choice.
Now for the big one, comparing it to my V-Bars. In the end, in
my mind I now consider these units to be�wait for it�equal! In terms of
the software used for programming, the V-Bar is the clear winner, but
looking at the flight performance and features, the decision becomes
much more difficult. When comparing the performance in terms of cyclic
and tail I would say these units are so close it is hard to even tell
them apart when flying them. They both give you a very precise locked in
feel, and are very tunable for all flying styles. Both can be tuned to
the point where there are no negative tendencies. For people who fly
harder then me, this argument may not be true, but this is what I found.
Now, when it comes to features I have to say the iKON is the
winner for me. It has an internal governor, which is easy to wire since
there are so many ports on the unit�not the case with the Mini V-Bar.
Due to this I have never even used the internal governor on the Mini
V-Bar since it is not worth the wiring disaster this creates. The final
thing is the bailout. There is no competition, as the V-Bar does not
have a similar feature. When you combine all of this with the
significantly lower price of the iKON, in my opinion, the iKON comes out
equal if not slightly ahead of the V-Bar."
