Skookum Robotics in Vancouver, BC Canada has enjoyed tremendous success with their first product, the SK360 2-axis digital flybarless unit. Now Skookum is gearing up to release their second product, the SK720 3-axis unit. Believe it or not the SK720 unit is actually smaller then the original SK360. This is not due to a lack of equipment inside, the SK720 is packed with many new features including a built-in Micro SD slot for up to 2GB of data logging. Not to mention the third axis gyro for controlling the tail. Just like the Mikado V-Bar unit, this unit is a controls all axis of the helicopter head and tail. If that wasn’t all enough, Skookum has added two satellite receiver ports compatible which are compatible today with JR/Spektrum satellites and in the future Futaba when released.
Features:
- 38 x 30 x 14 mm, 17 grams
- Flybarless stabilization w/ piro-comp
- Built-in tail gyro

- 10 input/output PWM channels (up to 10 servos, and will work with older radios)
- 8.5 volt capable
- remote indicator LED port
- built in USB port
- build in micro-SD card slot (2 GB flight-data logging, including servo bus voltage)
- Works with existing SK-LCD unit for setup
