Introduction
The SK720 Digital Flybar is a high performance yet compact and lightweight
pitch, roll, and yaw stabilizer for radio controlled (R/C) helicopters. It replaces
the traditional flybar (stabilizer bar) mechanism and tail gyro while saving power,
increasing flight times and reducing repair costs. Features include:
•
Easy set up for first-time users, using Wizards to guide you
•
Fybarless stabilization with piro-compensation
•
Supports most tail servos by name in the setup software
•
Supports use as a 9-channel receiver core when used with 2.4 GHz
satellite receivers (two dedicated Sat-RX ports)

Supports radios with either 1024 or 2048 servo steps, and 22ms or 11ms
frame rates
