For a more detailed review, check this one out!
July 15th Update
Found out why my Tricopter is behaving so strangely, apparently the silicon gel padding I placed below my tail motor made things worse, I have since removed it leveled it to the servo using hard wood strips. Also I found the best settings from rcgroups for the KK2board PID settings and here they are. Flies super stable right now!
gyro aileron\elevator

The Settings below are Obsolete! Do NOT use them!!
************************************************** ********************************
Important update! Just came back from a test flight and discovered a few things.
The settings below are not good for forward flight!!! It is only good for hovering. The P settings have to be reduced further to the 60-80 range for a good forward flight, using the settings below will result in it rolling periodically during forward flight. Seems that I will have to do more tuning to get it to fly reasonably. Good thing is that the auto level works very well and will provide a very stable platform for aerial videos.
2nd Update
New Settings - This setting is the most promising so far
Roll/Pitch
P Gain - 45
P Limit - 100
I Gain - 60
I Limit -20
Yaw
P Gain - 65
P Limit - 20
I Gain - 50
I Limit -10
3rd Update
I have just returned from flying and the above settings are NOT good for flying in strong winds. The values are still too high
This is the latest values I have, it is a little "Drifty" but at least it doesn't give you surprises and can handle very strong winds. Now it is just up to the skill of the pilot.
Roll/Pitch (Aileron/Elevator)
P Gain : 30
P Limit : 100
I Gain : 3
I Limit : 20
Yaw (Rudder)
P Gain : 30
P Limit : 20
I Gain : 3
I Limit : 10
Stick Scaling
Roll & Pitch : 50
Yaw (Rudder) :70
Throttle : 100
Onboard Flight video. Testing the response in the first half and on 03:35 onward I go crazy with the controls.
************************************************** ********************************
Before I start with the review I'll post the settings I have for my Tricopter. I have a clockwise prop (rev) for the left boom and counter clock wise props for both the right boom and tail boom.
Lets go through the PI gain settings
I got these settings after much trial and error and going through 3 battery packs. Resulting hover characteristics is stable and feels more locked on than the older KKboard, though I must admit that the older KKboard is easier to setup.
Miscellaneaous, Auto Level and individual Channel Mixer Edit settings
Will continue in the next post as there's a image post limit.
