New Align APS ( Auto Pilot System )
Align Helicopter APS system features:
1.Semi-autonomous take off / Landing (Activate system, semi-autonomous takeoff into position and altitude hold, hovers in attitude hold with strong holding ability to prevent drifting, suitable for hover and flight training)
2.Failsafe (Activate system, automatic return home during loss of signal situation)
3.Auto flight (Activate system, transmitter can execute multiple waypoint settings, enabling point to point automatic flights.)
4.Emergency bailout stabilization (loss of orientation, activate system, aircraft flips right side up, goes into position and altitude hold hover, and wait for further command).
5.Autonomous return home (Completion of mission, activate return home command)
6.Simple logical setting through transmitter (APS system does not require complex PC setups)
7.Supports software upgrades

Wraith: indeed it is. Real World tests may be a completely different story though. Those heli's may have 10's or 100's of hours of setup time to get them perfect, something the average user is not really putting into their heli's.Adding the system to Joe Schmoe's heli may be a nightmare.
If anything it demonstrates what can be done. We just need to find the way through the forest :)

@Grips, why do you speak as if using APM on a Helicopter is breaking new ground?

I'm not. My intention was to describe the process of finding the way to such a stable solution like the align product in the development process.
