@Chris, well, guess I was one of the lucky ones then that got an underpriced copter. The current price is still reasonable and I understand you guys need to make money! I'm going to encourage my brother to get an arducopter.

One other point to raise on the price point of the copter kits is the level of hardware now being supplied in some of the kits has now gone up, the main kit I will be stocking now includes the APM board and mag as standard issue, where as the old kit you had to add these parts before you could get underway, the only additional items now are sonar and telemetry, so paying more gets your more :)

Regards

Martin.

Ooh, I didn't know the magnetometer comes standard now. That's great.

Gigio,

 

I hope that my order from over a month will ship soon, and my unanswered email asking for consignment numbers of any shipping deatils will get a response?. There is no phone number supplied on the website for a 'chat' about the circumstances of why I have not yet received the purchased goods, which were in stock at the time or purchase.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Having an APM powered fixed-wing or an Arducopter Quad along with APM2.0 and ACM1.0 it is quite a milestone, but a second "wave of impact" is expected. Having these systems ready to work, and ready to be applied by people that have different talents (not electronics, programming or building skills, abilities that DIYD members for sure have), different points of view and other areas knowledge, is the natural next step, and will multiply the effort, the sharing and the hard work that this community have given already.

Along with others, Udrones bussiness is to fulfill the 3 dimensional mobility necessities of tinkerers out there in an accessible way ( come on, 860 USD for a "pro" amateur UAV it is accessible). Unprecedented, this is just the start.

 

Arduino itself was meant as a help for electronics and programming teaching, and a few years later is the platform that Ardupilot is based. What I mean is that there are endless solutions waiting to be discovered out there, and some of them will be, thanks to what is happening right now, at this site.

By supporting all the distributors and the main DIYstore is the way to get there. 

 

@Not Sure 

That's odd, but please let me know more info about that purchase, I'm sure it is a misunderstood. Please contact me at udrones@gmail.com or by phone showed here (since we started operations in mid Feb.) in order to resolve this matter. 

Sincerely,

 

Gigio

@NotSure 

 

I'm still waiting for your reply. I guess you where confused with another distributor (jDrones maybe), your message sounds like you where having problems with customer service at the place you ordered. That just don't happens at Udrones Store, neither one order delayed or loss of email/phone communication. Would you please reply here what happened. I don't know why you used my name, anyways, hope you get a response soon. 

 

Thank you,

 

Gigio

HI Gigio,

 

after a lot of searching it was Jdrones, problem solved with delivery, but still wresting with an arducopter (bought preflight tested etc) that actually isn't flying properly
