Autopilot gear

[kd7ost]

All,

I have some PDC-10's, brand new, tested, and ready to sell. U-nav no longer manufactures these. I got the last batch and am making sure they get distributed first to the AP and UAV guys on these forums. They will be the same as U-nav's price. $110.00 US with 6.00 S&H in the US. 3.00 more if you use paypal to purchase them. These are GPS guidance devices. PM me if you're interested. I have 10 of them and after a short time they go to ebay. They'll most certainly cost more over there.

I use the pico alt from Unav for altitude control. It's a very nice unit.

did you sell it even though it didnt reach reserve. i am iterested

[kd7ost]

No, this one didn't sell this time. Also, I have been holding 4 for a guy who kept promising to buy them but couldn't get the cash ready for some reason. He's not been answering e-mails for the last week so I just sent him a message that I'm going to offer them up to other folks. First come first served. I've already promised two of them to a guy who wants to pay me sometime this week. That leaves 3 now.

The original price still stands.

what is your asking price. i will be using a geko 301 and a co-pilot stabilation. i think that the pdc-10 should work yes?

[kd7ost]

The price is 110.00 ea plus 6.00 S&H and 3.00 if using Paypal. 119.00 total if shipped in the US.

It will provide GPS guidance with your hand held GPS. You don't need to use the 301 if you don't want to pay the additional cost. You can use a 201. Here is some instructions on hacking the unit to use a different connector if you wish to. http://www.rcapa.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=503

A Co-pilot will stabilize pitch and roll. But it won't hold altitude. Your plane will sink or rise with lift, wind, thermals etc. If you truly want to hold altitude you need to use an altitude hold device. I use a co-pilot but it is only employed for roll. I'm using a pico alt from UNAV to hold altitude.

I Will Take One For Your Asking Price. I Will Buy The 201 Then. Does The 201 Give Enough Info For The Pico Alt? Great Thanks

[kd7ost]

The pico alt doesn't connect to a GPS. It uses a built in barometric sensor to keep altitude dialed in. I have the manual for the PDC-10 in PDF form. PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send one to you so you can look it over.
