Looks like Skyhobbies is coming out with their own Flybarless Gyro system. Looks like a rebranded BeastX to me but thats just my opinion I may be wrong. At closer inspection I don’t believe it is because the BeastX firmware update does not have the dedicated firmware port. Its update cord uses the servo connector.
