The Standard configuration is not the best for fix wing operation due to the dimension and orientation of gyros.
I mounted the board vertical arrow straight up this resulted in the need to swap channels to maintain proper gyro orientation.
The throttle channel must be connected to the both KK board and the ESC, I suggest a Y cable.
Arming is done by keep throttle at idle and Rudder over hard or in my modified configuration elevator down. If the board does not arm reduce throttle trim till arming can be achieved.

I've seen them little cheaper, but make sure you get the USB loader too. Later you can buy them seperatly but don't buy the HK ones with only 4 output ports.

Re: EPP FPV plane from HK With KK board control build
I like the idea of the KK Board control.
How does it compare in stability with the FMA CoPilot?

We are making lots of progress with the KK Aeroplane mode; we will soon have the accelerometer and sum ppm with GUI. When this is complete the system will be fabulous but at this point there is only stability no auto level.

Standard Aeroplane OpenAero KK control HK EPP FPV test flight was successful. Wind was low sky’s were foggy, the OpenAero sw performed excellent, we perform two test fwd and aft C of G operation.

Re: EPP FPV plane from HK With KK board control build
Here's the aerial video I shot on Sunday. The roll rate was a little high and my camera mount had a little play so the video was less than perfect but quality was good and based on the condition at this time I'm very happy. Unfortunately viewing from the ground she looked great. I've shimmed the camera mount, reduced the roll gyro rate and re-jigged the elevator control to add more throw.

Dude, the build is wonderful.
The gopro 3d system is great and your use of the kk board is a great implementation....nm that the price is right.
Kudos.
Do you like the EPP?
Do you night FPV? Shannon Park was great tonight.
