What about multi-rotor airplanes like the C7 or DC3 or Ford Tri-motor? Would this be a good solution for these systems?

I have the hobbyking V3.0 i have loaded the driver... after unziping the software for Flash Tool... when i double click on kkMulticopterFlashTool.cmd i get a black screen with about 5 lines of test and the last one says - press any key to continue... so when i press any key... the black window vanishes and nothing happens after that.... i was expecting the window to open with which i can flash the controller to change it from + to x configuration.... the drive is loaded cause the icon for USBasp shows without the yellow triangle.... pl help

So very complicated, and I could never have done that on my own in a million years. With the nice simple explanation by Josh, I reckon I can do this. I'll give it a go.....

Keep up the great work. The only trouble I have is the amount of money I'm spending at Hobby King after your programmes!

Nice to see my homepage in your video. Could you please reference to the homepage of the flashtool author instead to kkmulticopter.com?

Also like to ask if I can use your video to improve my tutorial section?

Hahaha, you guys must be reading my mind, I just finished my quad in + config, and possibly change it to X latter and/or build a tri, this will help greatly. Thanks for the info Josh B. and thank for posting Chad :-)

Hi Josh, which firmware did you used in the quad setup video? Xcopter V4.7 KK by kaptainkuk or XXcontrol KR V2.5 Xcopter, the last firmware mentioned was the V2.5, my control board just arrived and this is the first time i am going to flash it with Xcopter setup. thanks
