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.
