Just wondering what everyone is installling their autopilot hardware into?
I've been using a MM Magpie extensively for Ap over the last while but am now on the look out for an aileron ship for use with a picopilot.
Something around the same wing area as the Magpie would be ideal, I guess I could just add ailerons the the Pie I suppose!

If you like Maggie, what do you think of the Multiplex Easy Glider Electric?

Well I actually started with an easy star for AP but i switched to the Magpie for its slower speed, stability and ease of attachment of equipment.

Are you going to use the Picopilot for the rudder and the FMA CoPilot for the airelons? The EasyGlider wing is faster than the Magpie, so I recind my suggestion.

If you need more load carrying capability, there's the Multiplex Magister. (yes, I have an affinity for EPP and Elapor)

I think that the lastest picopilot can steer with the rudder and it has a wing leveller built in. I dont think that the Magister has great endurance.
I'm a big fan of EPP etc myself :)
