I have been really glad to use KK2 boards in my tricopters, But that has changed. Not that the KK boards got worse, not at all, i just found something that superiors it, by miles.
My replacement is the Ardupilot Mega 2.5 from DIY Drones.
I got mine as a hardcase pre installed with side entry conections, and Power Module with integrated 5.3V regulator and current and voltage sensing.
I choose to get the updated UBlox LEA-6 GPS with it when i ordered.
It is mounted on my fpvlongrange.com framed tricopter, and replace my oldest KK board.
Motors are Turnigy Park 450 890 KV BL with Turnigy plush 18A ESC Standard firmware, and props are 9047's.
I have not edited the wind noise away in the video, so you can get an idea about how windy it actually was...
I do not know how much the actually wind speed was, but recons about 8-10 m/sek.
It started with a small UPS moment, where i was caught with a wrong rotation on the rear prop, so it wanted to dig in, not to take off.
But this is the true maiden, of a basic ArduPilot Mega 2.5 (version 2.9.0 software.)
More like out of the box and just basic setup of controller and that's it folks.
Heres the video.
