EMAX Skyline F3 Flight Controller Advanced (10DOF).
The SkylineF3 gives you all the features you need for the heart of your aircraft, whether you're into FPV racing, acrobatic flying or aerial photography it's perfect. Supports a variety of aircraft, tricopters, quadcopters, hexacopters, octocopters, planes and more.
The SkylineF3 runs the open-source Cleanflight flight control (FC) software which has an ever-growing community of friendly developers and users. Being open-source means that you too can contribute to the system.
Cleanflight comes with a detailed manual that is reviewed and maintained by the Cleanflight developers and community. No more out-of-date wiki pages and second-hand information.

Flight Performance
The SkylineF3 builds on tried and tested software, processor and sensor technology to make your aircraft fly like it's on rails.
No-Compromise I/O
Use all the features all the time; e.g. Connect your OSD + SmartPort + SBus + GPS + LED Strip + Battery Monitoring + Sonar + 8 motors - all at the same time!
Configurable
The SkylineF3 runs Cleanflight which can be configured to suit your needs using a cross-platform GUI (Windows/OSX/Linux).
Tiny and lightweight
The SkylineF3 has a standard 36x36mm form-factor with 30.5mm mounting holes and weighs just 6 grams.
Flight Logging
On-board high-capacity black box flight log recorder - optimize your tuning and see the results of your setup without guesswork.
Next-Generation CPU
The SkylineF3 has an ARM Cortex-M4 72Mhz CPU with Math co-processor (FPU) for efficient flight calculations that gets more done in less time.
Loop times up to ~2x as fast as previous-generation STM32F1 based boards.
Developer Friendly
