GPS won’t be cost effective unless you have a large and expensive helicopter. I have heard that it will be somewhere between $600 and $1000 USD. Apparently firmware development cost is very high. If you want a low price you will have to wait for the Chinese clones.

Considering this is AFAIK the only GPS system capable of working during 3D though... well you get what you pay for. |

Almost 800usd would be good for the whole system.

More bad news the new 720 black with metal case and improved sensors will be out soon but it will cost $50 to $100 USD more than the old one. Advanced Skookum technology is definitely not cheap.
Skookum really needs to offer a discounted package deal for those who need a 720 with GPS. . |

OR550 cost me more than 2000usd, I said approximate average of the 7 heli possessed,anyway at one time you lose count.Now I do not think it's bad to cost less

The Gps would be worth while for me if it had way points, and could be easily setup for a flybarred heli. That way I could set it to cross a field back, and forth for survey pictures. I see the skookum web site lists the new SK720 as GPS ready, wonder what that means.

There is more of a problem in Canada so Skookum is reluctant to add that feature since they are a Canadian company. . . . Roto Rob If you only want to use it for a flybar helicopter then there are several other solutions that have waypoint navigation at a much lower cost. I have tried the APM2.5 and it works great but it’s not a flybarless controller. http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/...rduCopter?tm=6 The APM works with Airplanes, helicopters (Traditional Heli), and multi rotors (I found that the best for AP). http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/...opter_TradHeli . |
