| Hello
How do you plan on using the Hacker with the PiccoBoard? The only way it can be done is if you solder on a Brushless ESC to the PiccoBoard. Remember, the Piccoboard(Pro, Plus, whatever) is only for brushed motors. Since you have to use a brushless controller you might as well loose all the extra dead weight and get quality components. The Schulze Slim is definitally the shining jewel in the tail section. Its high switching frequency saves tail motor brushes and it is super smooth and seems to get along with gyro much better than others. I like the Schulze 18He controller for my main motor becasue it can handle excess loads with no problems and it has a super smooth ramp up, I have heard that the Castle Creations Phoinex 10 is another great brushless controller(I thing there is also a Hacker Master controller for micro helicopters). The advantage of the brushless controllers listed is you can adjust the controllers settings to the motor you are using(switching frequency, timimg, govenor, ect). Then from there you can buy a decent gyro for the tail, you will need it if you plan of having trouble tail worry free fun
For a good gyro, and a brushless controller and the Schulze Slim 105 He you are looking at 210-220 so you are not really saving anything getting the Piccoloboard( also add the brushless controller for your motor).
Oh and if you dont already have Rx for your Pro then I hughly recommend the Berg 5 @ www.rc-direct.com
