I know that the AR7200 is a 7 channel receiver and flybarless control system, in one unit. That is one of the big reasons that the AR7200 is so popular. I understand that it's a great unit for heli's of all sizes. Awesome!
Now...the Ikon.
I've been, briefly, looking at the Ikon web site and I read that it has two ports for two Spektrum satellite receivers. It says:
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.
Does this mean that the Ikon can also be a receiver and flybarless control system? Or am I misunderstanding this? What are the satellite rx ports for on the Ikon?
Thanks guys!!!
