SimonK ESC's: See the difference

If you've ever wondered what all this SimonK talk was about, just take a look and see for yourself. It's quite amazing what a little flashing can do for a multirotor.

Thanks for all your videos. They helped me a bunch over over past 2 months, to get a handle on tuning my first multi with the kk2 1.5fw.
Nice comparison in this video, I was never sure why the SimonKs were better besides the quicker response.
With my multi, when I descend quickly w/auto level on, the craft is very wobbly, almost uncontrollable when I add power to slow down. Will the Simons help this? Thx. 5 stars.

One thing worth noting is that some of the higher end motors like some of the T-Motors do not work well at all with SimonK and other aftermarket ESC firmware... not sure why but a few sites that sell these motors make specific mention of this.

Very true. It's rare to find motors that have issues with the newest FW and it's almost only high pole disc types. Good point though.

When you set you p gain, P limit, I Gain and I limit do you do everything the same for both Elevator & Aileron control? Thanks for the help. I have a KK running 1.5. Also would love to know your thoughts on the auto leval. I have mine flying really well just on auto level find it kind of takes over to much.

Interesting. Would have very much liked to see what those higher gains would've resulted in on the old ESCs.
