The technical data of the KOSMIK HV-I series at a glance:
News
21 November 2022 - Firmware-Version V1.18 for KOSMIK 170/210/250/300 HV / HV-I
KOSMIK 170/210/250/300 HV / HV-I
In the firmware version V1.18 for the KOSMIK 170/210/250/300 HV / HV-I the following points have been added and improved:
1. Adjustment of the current control: the sampling rate has been increased, thus the current peaks, which can lead to an overcurrent, are intercepted.
2. The telemetry ports are by default assigned with the following protocols:
- LED side: Mikado
- BEC side: Jeti
- Center: Futaba
3. The bootloader was adapted, so that after an abort of an update process the update can be restarted again. Until now, the KOSMIK had to be sent to KONTRONIK after an aborted update process, with the bootloader adjustment this is no longer necessary.
4. The firmware for the KOSMIK 170/210/250/300 HV / HV-I are packed together in a common update file. The update software automatically recognizes which KOSMIK variant is involved and writes the specific parameters to the KOSMIK during the update.
In order to avoid errors and malfunctions during the update, the update process must be carried out as described below: The first step is to upload the bootloader update to the KOSMIK 170/210/250/300 HV / HV-I
1. Upload the bootloader update V1.1 to the controller with the ProgUnit.
ATTENTION: When starting the update, the error message will appear that the software is older than the software available on the KOSMIK. Confirm with "Yes" and perform the update.
2. After the update is finished, unplug the battery.
3. IMPORTANT: Connect the motor and receiver.
4. Plug the battery back in.
5. Wait until the controller beeps.
6. Check version of bootloader with ProgUnit: If V2.2 appears, the update has been successfully completed.
Note: The bootloader update V1.1 updates the bootloader and does not contain any additional functions!
22 March 2022 - KOLIBRI HV-I und LV-I – New Safety Features inside
Software-Update V3.0
For all KOLIBRI models (HV-I and LV-I) we have now made the new software V3.0 available for download. The new software V3.0 is a milestone in the performance of the KOLIBRI controllers!
The most important thing in advance: it includes various new and adapted safety features - so that your model stays up!
The professionals among the model builders always push the performance of a controller to the limit and sometimes exceed the limits. But even experienced pilots and newcomers sometimes unintentionally reach limits that demand everything and more from the controller.
With our KOLIBRI controllers, we have now redefined the limits so that your model stays up and your blood pressure drops.
The new KOLIBRI safety features in detail:
Intelligent Current Commander
In case of prolonged overload up to 1.5 times the rated current, a moderate current reduction to the rated current of the controller takes place after 2 seconds. This ensures flight capability up to the thermal limit and prevents the controller from shutting down due to an overcurrent.
Intelligent Temperature Commander
When the permissible temperature limit of 90°C is exceeded, there is no abrupt shutdown or shutdown of the controller, but a reduction of the current. The longer the temperature is higher than 90°C, the more current is reduced, down to the maximum possible output of 40% of the rated current. Even in this control state, the KOLIBRI still allows short-term peaks, which avoids unwanted control behavior. Due to the intelligent temperature control, the extreme temperature limit of 120°C is not even reached during normal cooling.
Undervoltage / capacity regulation
The settling time when the battery reaches the undervoltage limit has been increased to 2 minutes to allow a relaxed and safe landing.

22 March 2022 - Integration VBAR Control Touch / VBAR Control Classic & further telemetry updates
With the software V3.0 the comfortable, direct parameterization via the remote control "VBAR Control Touch" or "VBAR Control Classic" is now also possible. This offers the great advantage of being able to try out different settings of the controller on the flying field!
Other telemetry updates:
- Default telemetry protocol has been changed to "Mikado".
- When the telemetry protocol "Mikado" is loaded, the stick travels are automatically set to match "Mikado". These no longer need to be taught in.
- For "FrSky" telemetry, additional values have been implemented for the freely adjustable telemetry channels of the "FrSky" remote controls. For this purpose the table for naming and correct selection of the IDs is important, which is stored on the KONTRONIK homepage under "Downloads / Software / KONTRONIK address assignment for telemetry".
- With the "PowerBox" telemetry the set reduction ratio is now calculated in the speed output.
22 March 2022 - New Bootloader V3.0 for KOLIBRI: Sending in a KOLIBRI controller for service is history
With the new bootloader, sending in a KOLIBRI controller for service in case of an unintentional interrupted or incomplete update is history!
To use the new bootloader, the new controller software V3.0 must be installed on the KOLIBRI. Then the bootloader update to V3.0 must be performed as described below.
The new bootloader is not downward compatible.
1. Update firmware as usual with the ProgUNIT.
2. After the update is complete, unplug the drive battery and plug it back in.
3. Program mode 1. 4. Unplug the drive battery and plug it back in again. Wait until the controller initializes.
5. Press and hold the button until the controller beeps (this may take several seconds). The beep of the bootloader update is different from the beep of the mode programming and therefore easily recognizable.
6. Disconnect the drive battery and reconnect it. The controller then initializes and is ready for the user-defined setting.
7. For control purposes, the controller software V3.0 and Bootloader V3.0 are now displayed in the K-Config V1.3.11.
22. March 2022 - New K-Konfig V1.3.11
This software version is required to set up the KOLIBRI LV-I or HV-I with the V3.0 software and to load saved controller setups.
1 March 2022 - Innovations in the program
The models PYRO 800-40 and PYRO 800-48 as well as PYRO 850-50 have each been supplemented by two versions with a 6mm shaft. The telemetry cable JST (Mikado) and the programming cable KOLIBRI-X are also new in the programme.
1 March 2022 - Article removed from our catalogue
Other items are no longer in the range, here are the most important products that have been dropped:
- PYRO 850-40 XL and PYRO 850-50 XL.
- The speed controller series KOBY and JIVE Pro.
- PROGCARD and PROGCARD II.
31 January 2022 - Adaption of repair prices for motors and speed controllers
For many years we have been able to keep the repair prices for our products constant to the benefit of our customers. In the last 12 months, we at KONTRONIK have now unfortunately had to accept partly drastically increased purchase prices for electronic components, metal parts and plastic parts. Energy prices have also risen sharply and granted wage increases have led to increased personnel costs.
As a consequence, KONTRONIK has to adjust the prices for repairs. The price adjustment will take effect from 31.01.2022 for all new repairs received by KONTRONIK after this date.
Please note that the previous service forms will lose their validity with the price adjustment, as the inspection fee has also increased. You can download a current service form as usual from our homepage www.kontronik.com under SUPPORT / Repairs. From now on, service forms will no longer be enclosed with the sales products.
25 January 2021 - Changing the colour arrangement of the motor cables on the KIRA series
In the course of standardising product features of KONTRONIK motors, the colour arrangement of the motor cables has been changed for the KIRA series.
We draw the user's attention to this change with a special supplementary sheet enclosed in the packaging box of each KIRA motor.
The following information and the two pictures are part of the supplement:
ATTENTION IMPORTANT NOTICE – PLEASE NOTE BEFORE INSTALLATION !
In the course of standardising product features of KONTRONIK motors, the colour arrangement of the motor cables has been changed for the KIRA series!
Please take this into account when installing your new KIRA motor!
OLD: Colour arrangement motor cable | NEW: Colour arrangement motor cable |

25 January 2021 - JIVE LV Series – Discontinuation
The products from our KOLIBRI series convince our customers with their decisive performance and contribute to the fact that our JIVE LV controllers are no longer in such high demand.
The time has therefore come for KONTRONIK to remove the JIVE LV controllers from the current product portfolio after selling off remaining stock.
Of course, service claims for the JIVE LV controllers will remain unaffected.
The JIVE Pro HV controllers will remain in the sales programme, please note!
25 January 2021 - KOLIBRI LV-I software version 2.1
With the update of the software to version 2.1, the telemetry port and the Bluetooth function of the KOLIBRI LV-I can now be used simultaneously.
With the previous software version, the Bluetooth function could only be used when the telemetry cable was disconnected. This improvement is especially important for the KOLIBRI 140 LV-I, as it has two telemetry ports.
IMPORTANT: If version 2.0 has already been installed on the KOLIBRI LV-I controller, this is a normal update and can be carried out as described in the instructions. If an older software version than version 2.0 has been installed, the update must be installed on the controller as a bootloader update. The procedure for the bootloader update is described in detail for version 2.0 or also in the instructions under Point 8.Update, Number 12.
All new software versions are already available for download at www.kontronik.com/downloads.

To avoid errors and malfunctions during the update process the update procedure must be carried out as described below:
First a bootloader update to software version 1.0 must be performed. Version 1.0 will overwrite the existing firmware of the KOSMIK and does not contain any further functions!
With the following steps the Bootloader-Update, Version 1.0 is installed on the KOSMIK 170/210/250/300 HV & HV-I:
1. install the Bootloader-Update, Version 1.0 with the ProgUnit.
ATTENTION: When starting the update, an error message is displayed that the software is older than the software available on the KOSMIK. Please confirm this error message with "Yes" and the update will start.
2. after finishing the update, disconnect the battery.
3. IMPORTANT: Connect motor and receiver.
4. connect the battery again.
5. wait until the controller beeps. The beep confirms that the bootloader update has been successfully installed.
Now that the bootloader is updated, the new firmware version 1.10 must be installed on the KOSMIK.
1. September 2020 Update K-KONFIG Software-Version 1.3.9
This K-CONFIG Software Version K-KONFIG V1.3.9 is required for:
- KOLIBRI 60/90/140 LV & LV-I from version 2.0
- KOLIBRI 90/140 HV-I from version 1.0
- KOSMIK 170/210/250/300 HV & HV-I from version 1.10
This software release is also compatible with all KOSMIK 160/200 HV and JIVE Pro 80/120 HV.
16 March 2020 KOLIBRI 60 LV-I / KOLIBRI 90 LV-I / KOLIBRI 140 LV-I – new software available!
We at KONTRONIK are constantly working on improving our products in order to offer our pilots the best possible equipment for their performance!
The new software version V1.4 for our KOLIBRI LV-I series is now available for download. It contains the following improvements:
Until now, the KOLIBRI LV-I controllers have output a voltage of 9V until initialisation. This is no problem for all receivers and FBL systems known to us. However, if pilots still use 6V servos, we have found that in the worst case they could be damaged.
With version V1.4 we have now programmed our software in such a way that the KOLIBRI LV-I controllers no longer start with a voltage peak, but also enter the BEC voltage regulation before initialisation. The BEC voltage set by the user is thus output by the KOLIBRI LV-I controller throughout, even before initialisation.
This means that the minimum BEC voltage now also corresponds to the voltage that actually occurred in flight.
With this software update there are a few special features to consider, therefore the update procedure should be carried out as described below: Attention: In steps 1, 3 and 5 please make sure that the battery voltage is available without interruption, otherwise the bootloader may be damaged and the controller has to be sent to KONTRONIK!
1. Update the firmware, as usual with ProgUNIT or ProgDISC. Setting the parameters is only possible with the ProgUNIT.
2. After the update is complete, disconnect the drive battery and reconnect it.
3. Program mode 1.
4. Disconnect and reconnect the drive battery. Wait until the controller initializes.
5. Press and hold the button until the controller beeps (this can take several seconds). The bootloader update beep is different from the mode programming beep, so it is clearly visible.
6. disconnect and reconnect the drive battery, the controller initializes and is now ready for custom settings.

30 July 2019 - COOL KOSMIK 250/300 HV software update
In the new software version 1.2 for the COOL KOSMIK 250/300 HV, we have adjusted the motor current warning for the Graupner telemetry.
25. January 2019 - The DuoCOOL KOSMIK 300 HV and the WaterCOOL KOSMIK 300 HV
Based on the COOL KOSMIK 250 HV, we have developed two variants with special cooling concepts. Thanks to these cooling concepts, these regulators crack the 300 A limit with ease.
![]() | The DuoCOOL KOSMIK 300 HV has a larger heat sink on which two fans can be mounted. Thus, this controller is best suited for e.g. Scale applications or bigger planes. |
| The WaterCOOL KOSMIK 300 HV has a built-in water cooling system. The cooling water runs through the integrated cooling plate. Inlet and outlet have an outer diameter of 5.5 mm. This makes the controller very well suited for applications in boats. |
The improved heat dissipation enables our ECUs to reach the 300 A level. Both controllers are supplied in the power class with 10 mm² cables. Of course, these regulators also show the familiar characteristics of the COOL KOSMIK 250 HV:
- Powerful BEC with BEC 10 A continuous current and 30 A peak current
- Voltage 5-14 S / 20-59 V
- Integrated telemetry for Futaba, Jeti, Multiplex, Mikado and Graupner
- Perfect speed control

12. April 2018 - UPDATE: KONTRONIK protocol for telemetry
Version 1.13 / 4.13 fixes a bug:
Graupner HoTT Telemetry - Capacity limit warning with Bluetooth module plugged in.
These updates are now available under "Download" on our homepage.
5. April 2018 - KONTRONIK protocol for telemetry
From now on the software release 4.12 for the KOSMIK and 1.12 for the JIVE Pro is ready for download.
With this release, the KONTRONIK protocol for telemetry is now available. It can be used in combination with the telemetry cable JR. The specification of the protocol can be found under “Downloads” as well.
The two software versions add two additional parameters to the TelMe module JETI: timing and throttle. In addition, bugs of the previous version are eliminated. At the TelMe-module for Graupner, the capacity alarm is from now on only active as long as the motor is rotating. In addition, instead of the set maximum values, the actually reached maximum values for current and ESC-temperature are now displayed.
These updates are now available under “Download” on our homepage.
10. March 2018 - The new KOLIBRI LV
Our new KOLIBRI series is available from April 2018 on!

26. January 2018 - Our new team manager Europe: Heiko Fischer
We proudly introduce our new team manager for Europe: Heiko Fischer. Heiko is deeply rooted in the RC scene for many years and well known from various events as a pilot or exhibitor.
Since 2017 he is also responsible for technical support at KONTRONIK. As our team manager, he is the contact person for our pilots and those, who want to become our pilots.
26 January 2018 - Dry Fluid
DryFluid Extreme Gear Lube has been specifically designed for heavy-duty model-building gearboxes. It is not a fat, not oiling and free of silicones and therefore it is more a lubricant.
Through the use of dry particles, sliding polymers and extremely adherent high-end lubricants it has extraordinary lubricating properties. Further characteristics are its extreme pressure resistance, excellent adhesion and its low tendency to dust and dirt binding.
The long-term effect will inspire every model maker.
26 January 2018 - New sales concept in the USA
We have optimized our sales concept for the USA. Most important pillar is Tim DiPeri. He is our team manager in the USA already and now our Business Development Manager North America as well. This means he is the contact person for our retailer, end customer and pilots. Furthermore, he is in charge of acquiring new retailers and extend our sales network.
As a second pillar we launched a consignation stock in the USA. So many orders can be shipped directly from the USA which leads to a much faster reaction time. Finally, we decrease our dollar prices by 9% in average. This is possible due to an optimized logistic and cost structure as well as to the development of the dollar-euro-relation. The change will be effective from February 2018. From February onwards you can find the new price list here.
26 January 2018 - And what about the new ESCs…?
In 2017 we announced the KOLIBRI series for summer / autumn 2017. But during our tests and validations we found some details, that we wanted to optimize before going to market. Despite the announcement, it is most important for us to provide a carefully tested product that meets our own expectations – even if it takes longer than planned. We are now again testing and validating the ESCs and therefore we do not yet want to make any new announcement. But please be sure, that we are working on it with high pressure!
In addition, in December 2017 there was shown a COOL KOSMIK 220 UHV for a short time on our homepage. It is true that we are working on a 16S controller. At the moment we are still in the development and testing phase. Our marketing has inadvertently put a prepared "dummy page" online. It's too early to name details about final performance, features, launch and price. Please be patient and stay curious.
5 December 2017 - Info about the COOL KOSMIK
The last week a "COOL KOSMIK 220 UHV" was shown on our website. It is true that we are working on a 16S controller. At the moment we are still in the development and testing phase. Our marketing has inadvertently put a prepared "dummy page" online. It's too early to name details about final performance, features, launch and price. Please be patient and stay curious.

Furthermore, we also increase the service level for all our dealers by the beginning of June. Contactfor orders still is KONTRONIK Germany. But we now keep our most important products on stock in the USA and orders can be shipped from there directly to the dealer (depending on ordered products and quantities). Very large orders or products that are ordered very seldom, will still be sent from Germany and the orderer will get an information before. So we are able to provide much faster reaction and shipment times and therefore better customer service.

13 November 2015 - The innovation: The KONTRONIK Spur Gear
Together with a PYRO 850-50 the KONTRONIK Spur Gear (KSG) is a real innovation especially for airplanes. It fits perfectly for towplanes and 100 / 120 scale models.
The KSG can be used, where gas engines are forbidden: silent, clean, odorless.
And its performance? Outstanding:
· static thrust up to 32 kg
· 10 kW peak power
· 5 kW continuous power
The KSG offers multiple possibilities of mounting. Depending on the version, it can be mounted on the front, on the back or the sides. Despite its power, it has a very compact construction (BHT 132 x 108,3 x 135,5 mm when mounted on the back) and light weight (ca. 1.300 resp. 1.500 g motor included).
Further features are a combination of gear wheels materials that are more resistant to wear and special ball bearings. The gear ratio is 4:1.
The KSG is constructed to run in combination with the PYRO 850-50. The sales price for the set of KSG and PYRO 850-50 is 1,299 €; in addition with a COOL KOSMIK 200 HV 1,999 €. The price for the KSG itself is 899 € (all prices incl. V.A.T.). Customers, who already have a PYRO 850-50, can send it to KONTRONIK so that we mount it to the KSG without any further costs. The KSG is not sold without a motor, as mounting is difficult and the KSG is only approved for the PYRO 850-50 so far.
The KSG is available as from December 2015, preorders are possible from now on.
13 November 2015 - The Highlight: COOL KOSMIK 200 HV Limited Gold Edition
New look for our well known COOL KOSMIK 200 HV:

- strictly limited to 100 pieces – serial number is engraved on the back side
The COOL KOSMIK 200 HV Limited Gold Edition is available from December 2015. Pre-orders will be taken from now on. The edition is limited, so it pays to be quick. Thus the race for the ECUs is fair, we have set up an e-mail address:
golden-kosmik@ kontronik.com
The decisive factor is the sequence of orders to this address. The selling price for the COOL KOSMIK 200 HV Limited Gold Edition is 1,000 EUR (incl. VAT.).
01 October 2015 - Elimination of BEC-initialization problems of JIVE Pro and KOSMIK; live-cell therapy for KOBY
Requirements to ESCs are constantly increasing – by more powerful servos and motors, harder flying styles etc. For this reason, we gave a live-cell therapy to our ESCs.
Our KOBY is now equipped with more powerful MOSFETs, ELKOs, capacitors and gate resistors.
By optimizing our hardware in our JIVE Pro- and KOMSIK-ESCs we fixed problems of BEC initialization that could have occurred in newer configurations.
11 September 2015 - TelMe Futaba
TelMe Futaba is ready! We say too - at last!. Development time and effort has been much more than expected..
The TelMe module is the interface between a KOTRONIK ESC with module port and a Futaba receiver prepared for telemetry. TelMe is recognized automatically by the ESC and the correct data stream is started.
The retail price will be 89,90€ / 109,90$ - but starting 01.01.2016. For all which have already ordered and for all who decide without hesitation the special price of 69,90€ / 86,60$ is available. So be quick.
Generally it's necessary that the transmitter uses FASSTest communication. Futaba has included this already in T18MZ. T14SG and FX-22 will follow in October (announced by Futaba). T18SZ, FX-32 and others are not communicated yet.
Be sure that you update your Futaba transmitter, ProgUNIT / ProgDISC and ESC to the newest software.
Enjoy your TelMe-Futaba.

With the K-Prog App the new tab - alarm allows to set the alarm values for TelME . The K-View shows the reached data and where the alarm values are overspend.
14 August 2015 - New motor RPMs available
The PYRO 800-60 (L) (Competition) is available now. In combination with higher gear ratio it converts its higher RPM in more power. More data here.
The SPIDER-X 15-42 and SPIDER-X 15-50 enlarges the family with a lower RPM type. With 420 kv and 500 kv even bigger propellers can be handled now. More data here.
12 August 2015 - Outstanding succes at IRCHA Speedcup
With the new Henseleit TDS Oliver Jellen won this year's speedcup with 284,87 km/h (177,01 mi/h) in average. Robert Sixt could reach 3rd with very good 268,11 km/h (166,60 mil/h). Both pilots would be faster if they had more preparation time, as the machines has been ready the week before. Last calibration flight has done the evening before.
This competion has shown, which power potential this helicopter together with PYRO 850-50 and CoolKOSMIK 200 HV has. We are courious to see how fast it will go when everything is well balanced. Sadly the TDS was not ready when this year's World Record Event took place - so this time is faster, but unofficial.
