Has anyone tried to use the KKMulticontroller v. 5.5 on a quadcopter as described here: seeedstudio
Are the Murata gyros as good as claimed?

I use the KK board for all of my new Flying Camera Mount designs as a first set-up test, to check out how the model behaves. It is the benchmark test board that gives me an instant feedback of the general flight characteristics. I make quite a few models with different motors, prop sizes, arm lengths and all up weights. It is a very basic and very reliable board with no accelerometers which is exactly what I need. Having a board that has the full house in auto-stabilization would mask any aerodynamic problems. The Murata Gyros are only .67 mv.per degree of sensitivity yet they seem to work very well. I did replace them on one of my boards with AD's but did not see any improvement. The KK boards that I am using are not the Black boards but the Blue boards from Minsoo Kim in Korea. Great guy to deal with. You can even buy spare Murata gyros on his site.
I did not get a response from the seedstudio so I am guessing that this info could be useful.
KK Controller are great for free flying but they do not offer same features like ArduCopter electronics offers, ArduCopter is fully functional UAV with all navigation etc features.
At least they used the Atmega168 rather than the Atemega48 that HobbyKing used for the same board. Unfortunately it's more than three times the price :-(
