Hmmm... Kids, and you know who you are... Do an OT&E of them both before you voice opinion. I have few rctimer... This batch from HK kicks ass.

The one from rctimer seems a bit better than this. Rahul it would be better if you got that, or if you waited for some review of the HK one. This is not part by part a clone of the original unlike the Rctimer one.
BS son. I bought numbers of RCtimer... Right now I am getting reports of  Six Sigma performance of all the boards from HK. RCT has yet to reimburse me for faulty/fried SMDs. HK has the decency to send me a dozen of their new hard cases.

Please note the date of the post :) I asked Rahul to either wait for a review or get the rctimer one. So, my post was not BS at the time ;D
It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.

Any HK ones Left?  :)

I already have a 3DR one complete set with current sensor, GPS, 433 & 900 Mhz telemetry & Ramzibi OSD & minimal OSD, which is getting integrated for both a fixed wing and a Multirotor.

However would be great to do a parallel review with a HK one.

Mea culpa, you're right. Sorry. I believe HK is now using a different fab shop and PnP unit. These boards have much higher QC than their minimOSD and 3DR radio clones.

I'm keeping a couple just in case. A couple of the young lads are supposed to resubmit their proposals and I'd given them verbal that I'd hold theirs until they get back to me. If I don't hear from them, I can see one going to the East Khasi Hills. And yeah, I'm all for hearing review side by side with 3DR. I had expected to see exactly such a comparison test but other than the discussion groups at HK, not a peep at diydrones. In fact both threads dedicated to the HKPilot at diydrones have been shut down for political reasons. Right now I see no difference. Alas both my 3DR airspeed sensors are faulty so I cannot check on those functions.
At this end, I wonder what APM 3.0 will be like when ARM Cortex SmartAP comes out. Tried to get on beta test list but they're currently only handing them out to rotary-wing guys. The presentation (youtube) is... well, lets hope they can deliver the goods.
Best
