    Stole this from archeli.. Who got it from heli freak.. Either way in very interested..

    Thomas (the man behind the Brain/ikon) split with MHS and has been working on a new project and has developed two new fbl controllers which will soon be released, the Neuron and it's big brother which hasn't been named yet. With some updated hardware and Thomas's programing skills this promises to be a fbl to keep an eye on. This is the info from HF

    Hardware :
    Latest generation, 9 axis sensor (MPU-9250)

    Latest generation STM32F4 microcontroler with floating point unit

    Rock solid power stage (no more sat locks) up to 8.4V

    Very small : 23.15 x 34.5 x 13.6 mm
    6.7g weight

    External USB connector for more installation flexibility (cable and adapter provided in the box)

    Unplug the USB adapter and you can plug a Bluetooth module instead (same cable).

    3 bottom case colors to customize your unit (time limited offer)

    Every connector is electrically protected

    3M Very High Bond double sided pad provided

    Features:
    Handles (via different firmwares available to everyone without additional cost) all size helicopters, quads and planes with the same level of performance.

    Built-in RPM governor

    One built-in sat connector with smart bind (no bind plug nor PC needed to bind)

    You can connect a second sat via an adapter

    Handles all serial output receivers (HoTT, SRXL, SBUS/SBUS2, JR XBus Mode B and Mode A, PWM sum of course, plus DSM2 and DSMX sats), one wire per channel receivers are supported through an adapter (e.g. SBUS)

    Software:

    Extreme performance, incredible feeling

    Setup and tuning as simple as possible

    FREE setup terminal on PC (USB and BT) and Android (BT), all features availables, including firmware update, load/save configuration (compatible files between PC and Android)

    iPhone software is work in progress, via a specific Bluetooth Low Energy device available later

    Receiver auto-configuration, the unit detects the receiver type and configures automatically the channel assignment, throws, neutrals, reverses, etc at each startup.

    Each firmware type (quad, heli, plane) has its own GUI, software user interface is totally adapted for each model type

    Upgrading firmware doesn't mean upgrading PC / Android software. You can upgrade one unit's firmware and keep another one on a previous firmware, each one will have the adequate user interface.

    RPM governor auto-configuration, ne need to set gear ratio, etc. just plug the sensor, setup a flat throttle curve and fly (both nitro and elec)

    Rescue mode for helis, with pitch management

    Self level mode for quads and planes

    Introductory pricing: 130€ (approx $150)

    Available: VERY SOON (production already started!)

      Very exciting news indeed. If it's as functionally cool as the description reads then this could shake things up a bit in the FBL world!

      Wow! This looks promising. From the specs, they`ve pretty much thought of every desirable feature for a FBL to have.

      WHAT? Altitude hold? With that setting it means there could be a hard deck. BUT what is "extreme performance" and "incredible feel". hmmm only by flying can you truly determine. What a GREAT find @Manyc . Are you sure your not the informer in disguise?

      Hard deck would be very cool, but I don't think crash would approve

      I'm sure these units will be little rippa's like the Ikon/Brain's are. They won't be replacing my Spartans though.
