Hi,

I have been reading a lot of material on this forum as well as others and I am confused as to which hardware to select.

I have a fixed wing airframe and I want to set-up an autopilot to:

 - have fun

 - watch FPV while the wing flies itself

 - do some mapping 

 - and probably for some agricultural survey (NIR pictures of crops basically although at a later stage it would be fun to do some cattle counting on board... but this is way above my skill level)

I have looked at the following material:

 - Pixhawk but I find it too big and I remain curious about the pixhawk 2

 - Dropix, which is a French pixhawk but smaller and with easier connectors...

 - VR micro brain which is an Italian version of the pixhawk, even smaller

 - Brainfpv which runs Taulabs software and has an OSD included 

 - Navio+ which runs on top of Raspberry PI 2 and I worried it is going to be too complicated for me

 - and finally the Lisa/s but my frame is big enough to have something larger

I want to be able to have an altitude sensor and a speed sensor and maybe a range finder for proper landing and/or terrain following.

What should I do???? I am lost.

Thanks so much for your help.
