The pins are on the top of the unit, not on the side. *by B***R on November 17, 2016* After some flight experience, I have revised this review and changed my rating from 3 to 5 stars. This unit is on my Tarot FY680 Pro hexcopter (see photo), and it is working very well. I have flown two waypoint missions and both flights have been flawless. Here is a YouTube link to one of those flights: [...]I ordered this as a replacement for a possibly damaged flight controller for my Tarot hexcopter. Unfortunately, I read the heading of the advertisement: "LHI APM2.6 APM Flight Controller Board w/ Side-Pin Connector for ARDUPILOT MEGA 2.6" - I expected that the connectors were on the side of the unit, not on top. I had looked at several ads and settled on this was as it was the cheapest - I neglected to examine the picture which clearly showed the pins on top... my bad. Note the picture - the new unit I bought is the smaller one.I have downloaded the firmware okay, but have not as yet done the other calibrations as I need to lengthen the ESC wires so they can plug into the controller; the receiver leads are okay.A late update. I had been unable to perform a compass calibration as I was waiting over a month for a new GPS /compass module. I finally decided to use an existing known good GPS from another quadcopter, but was unable to perform a successful compass calibration. I tried reloading Mission Planner, installed the latest beta updates, reloaded the firmware - all to no avail. I remember one other time I had a persistent compass calibration issue and it turned out to be the flight controller. So I swapped out flight controllers and I was able to successfully perform the calibration.I tried once again to load the firmware, perform the Accel and Compass calibrations - no joy. I am convinced that my flight controller is faulty. Unfortunately, I've had this unit since December and cannot return it. So I'll lbuy a new unit from another vendor.I found it really difficult to pull the USB connector out of the unit after loading the firmware; it plugs in okay but is really hard to remove. I fear damaging the unit removing the USB plug. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent price on a great flight controller *by J***K on August 12, 2016* Excellent price on a great flight controller. I know APM's are outdated, but they are great flight controllers. I have 7 of them in various quad builds and love them. This particular one was put into a F450 frame with 920kv motors utilizing 30amp ESC. It flies like a dream and set up quick. Great price and product, packaged well and delivered quick. I buy from LHI all the time and have never been dissapointed. Great seller. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for the $$$$ *by R***N on March 13, 2017* Excellent for the $$$$. To access the FC via USB and use Mission Planner you have to go to the Arduino sight and upload their editor with the appropriate drivers. The card is outdated but works excellently with the right drivers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/16816174-lhi-apm2-6-apm-flight-controller-board-w-top-connector](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/16816174-lhi-apm2-6-apm-flight-controller-board-w-top-connector) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
