Due to my not being able to see my large hexacopter off in the distance and getting quite floored by losing visual and FPV, I decdied to get some bright navigation strobes for it. Here they are:

Today we get the first look at the new flight controller from XAircraft, the MiniX.  XAircraft is known for their high end controller called the SuperX, which I have installed in my large heavy lift hexacopter.  The MiniX is a lower price point controller, meant to compete for the market of small and mid-side multi-rotor copters.

The Box

Looks a little like the old Apple OSX DVD packaging…

First Opened

When opening the box, this is the first thing one sees.

Goodies Inside

The GPS puck, OSD unit, flight controller, GPS tower, cables, misc items included in box.  Included but not in this photo are some pieces of double-sided tape and the MiniX quick guide.

MINI Sized

The MiniX really is mini. It is tiny mini. Below is a photo of the three primary pieces, the OSD, FC, and GPS, next to a USA quarter for scale.

MiniX Review Soon

Soon I’ll be installing the MiniX on a 680 sized foldable quadcopter and doing some testing in preparation for a full review of the MiniX system.  Stay tuned.
