A software update to version 11 is free of charge within six month after purchase. To receive the latest software it is necessary to send the HELI JIVE 120+HV with a completed service form to KONTRONIK. Regular lead time for installing the update and sending the ESC out again is 2-3 business days. |

August 16, 2011 Running the HELI JIVE in mode 8 (external governor) together with the current version of Mikado VBAR may cause problems in certain constellations. Currently, KONTRONIK as well as Mikado are working on a solution for this issue. All other modes such as mode 4 (governor) and all other implemented features like autorotation bail out can be used with no problems. |

July 20, 2011 The KONTRONIK HELI JIVE has been optimized for model helicopters. Other Due to new features of the HELI JIVE some former features had to skipped or Some standard parameters, which had been loaded during mode programming have A completely new feature is the autorotation. This allows pilots to restart the rotor The HELI JIVE is characterized by a small but crucial internal hard ware change. This Available modes for HELI JIVE Description of autorotation If this quick spool up is not wanted, the throttle has to be in Brake Position. |

July 13, 2011 The waiting is over: During this week delivery of the new HELI JIVE 120+HV ESC will start. New heli specific features such as bail-out, manual throttle mode or the option to run the ESC on an external flybarless system have been implemented. Specially designed for F3C applications a new mode combines manual throttle control with the known KONTRONIK governor.
Due to increasing demand the PYRO 650 motors will be available with longer shaft as well. The long Apart from the known KONTRONIK silver connectors KONTRONIK now offers gold connectors as well. With a diameter of 6mm the connectors allow save connections even at high current.

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. |

Download the Kontronik release of v1.05 for Progdisc. The version 1.05 update offers compatibility adjustments. 
KONTRONIK released a new software version for its HELI JIVE 120+HV ESC line with software number 11. The latest version includes a revised mode 8 (external governor mode) which allows using the MIKADO VBAR governor function. Mode 8 has been widely and successfully tested by MIKADO and KONTRONIK. Therefore, KONTRONIK approves using mode 8 of the HELI JIVE 120+HV together with VBar Version 5.2.4 and KONTRONIK PYRO 700 motor series.
In order to use the HELI JIVE to its full extend a KONTRONIK PROGDISC is necessary. With delivering the new ESC a PROGDISC update (version 1.4) will be available at 
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).
