In addition to the engines for the PYRO Helibereich KONTRONIK KORATOP 40 also presented with a new engine for F3A applications. Three different rotation speeds (200, 250, 290 rpm / V) allow the right choice for competition and aerobatics. As the successor of the Jazz Series presents the new KONTRONIK Koby before speed controller. Functionally, they are modeled on the successful predecessor, however, have a 3 A continuous load BEC. The four versions of the KOBYs come as LV, 40, 55, 70 and 90 A. Of particular interest is the ability to update the new regulators online. If a newer software version available, the controller on the PROGDISC be updated. The PROGDISC is the latest programming unit for speed controllers. It has a color screen and can connect with both the regulators, as well as with the computer. All parameters of the Speed Controller can be configured. For the control of the latest generation KONTRONIK PROGDISC serves as an interface to the software update. The first online update controller is capable of Koby, all future regulators will also be online updatfähig. A detailed description of the news and the presentation of the entire KONTRONIK product portfolio can be found in even the current catalog () 6MB download. |

KONTRONIK asks all pilots to support a technical solution by physically sending their set-up (including servos) to US distributor Ready-RC and describing the conditions. KONTRONIK can only reproduce the interdependencies when having all information and conditions available. |

November 1, 2009 High-end manufacturer KONTRONIK reorganizes its North American business and names Ready-RC as distributor for the North American market. Pilots value their hobby – and so do we. KONTRONIK and Ready-RC both work on making RC modeling what it is: an experience of power, control and fun. Together with retailers like Florida based Ready-Heli and Esprit Model, KONTRONIK aims at pursuing perfection in electric model applications. Being a leading force in development of ESCs and electric motors KONTRONIK clearly focuses on Quality, Service & Innovation. From Helicopters to Hot liners, from Sailplanes to Acrobatics, from Powerboats to Cars – KONTRONIK puts more than 15 years of experience into developing and improving electric motors and ESCs. Ready-RC with its network in RC model applications and its 100% service orientation is the perfectly matching partner for distributing KONTRONIK products. Ready-RC’s experience with retailers and manufacturers and its open ear for pilots’ demands make Ready-RC a highly respected player in the RC community. To better serve American model pilots Ready-RC and KONTRONIK formed a partnership that brings together American service attitude and German engineering. Via a network of licensed dealers KONTRONIK and Ready-RC ensure qualified support and product availability on the North American market. Pilots can identify licensed dealers from the official “KONTRONIK Licensed Dealer” logo. Dealer inquires should be directed to www.KONTRONIKUSA.com. KONTRONIK and Ready-RC share the attitude that every pilot should be able to realize the maximum level of power at a maximum level of control. And a maximum level of fun. |

In the wake of the Nuremberg Toy Fair KONTRONIK presented the news in 2010. The PYRO 600 bridges the gap between the existing engines and PYRO S is designed for 6-8 applications. The two rotation speeds of about 900 and 1100 rpm / V, giving the pilot the opportunity to choose the right engine.
KONTRONIK received customer feedback about its JIVE ESCs with potential BEC problems. The KONTRONIK JIVE ESCs feature several security settings. One is a protection mechanism that should prevent the internal BEC from being destroyed by back induced voltage. If the JIVE realizes high voltage being back induced (e.g. by servos) it shuts down. Before introducing the JIVE all tests were positive and did not suggest any problems. KONTRONIK strongly recommends to check the set up for back induction and potential BEC shut down before the flight. If the BEC shuts down do not use the maximum available BEC voltage but reduce the BEC voltage using the KONTRONIK ProgCard. KONTRONIK strongly recommends to use an additional receiver battery with sufficient capacity. Also check official specifications about short and constant maximum voltage and current of all components (e.g. servos).
