Quadrino Zoom V2 from Innov8tive Designs
The Quadrino ZoomFlight Controller is a ready-to-fly alternative to the complicated process of gathering the many separate pieces required to make a MultiWii multi-rotorcopter. The flight characteristics of the MutliWii system are very good. Aerobatic flight such as loops, rolls, etc., are fast and predictable. Autolevel mode works very well for FPV. Since the Quadrino uses the open source MultiWii firmware, programmers have access to make any changes they like to the source code. The Quadrino is perfect for hardware hackers or programmers who want to experiment with flight controllers or even write their own control software. The newest Quadrino Zoom V2 board features the Rev. 1E PC board with several design improvements. In response to modelers who requested a lower profile design, the connector pins have been removed from the board and have been supplemented with right angle low profile connectors. Also included with the new V2 boards are a pair of custom wiring harnesses, one for connection from the Quadrino board to your radio receiver, and another to connect
the board to your speed controllers and servos. The original solder pads for the standard pin connectors are still on the board, so if you prefer using this method to attach your receiver and servos, you can solder in your own pins and use that option. The new 1E boards feature the improved MS5611 high resolution Barometric Pressure Sensor for greatly improved altitude holding abilities. Other changes include the newest V2.0 MultiWii firmware with new altitude hold programming to match this new sensor. Other features include a new “Head-Free” mode that senses the direction that the craft is pointing and automatically compensates the directional commands so that the machine will go the direction you push the stick, regardless of the direction it is pointing. The Quadrino Zoom V2 includes the Arduino micro-controller, Gyro, Accelerometer, Barometer, Magnetometer and on-board USB interface. Plug in your radio receiver channels and ESC motor wires and you are ready-to-fly. The Quadrino supports all MultiWii features such as auto-level mode (acc mode), heading hold (mag mode), and altitude hold (baro). If you are currently flying a GAUI 344 or KK board you will be shocked at the improvement! The Quadrino Zoom v2, originally $149.99, is now offered at a lower price of $119.99.

Miter Cut Precision Cutting Tool #151
The Miter Cut allows the craftsperson to make accurate cuts in both wood and plastic. The Miter Cut uses single edge razor blades. The ad- justable fence swings through an arc of precise degree marks with a posi- tive stop at 90 degrees. This allows the modeler to make accurate repeatable cuts for tight fits on mitered corners. The Miter Cut is an excellent tool for many hobby requirements including: • Model Airplane and Ship parts • Model Railroad and train Layouts • Miniatures - Furniture and Picture Frames • Mitered joints on rubber trims and moldings such as the Fourmost Window Flange and the Canopy Trim. The Miter Cut is made in the United States from alder wood and glass filled nylon. $27.50 See your nearest Hobby Dealer for all our great Products Direct orders please include $6 shipping; International $12
