The question is simple: why spend money on 4Ch plane, Co-Pilot & co??
I want to try to setting up a 3Ch plane with ArduPilot, somebody have any experience?

I choose the Multiplex EasyCub, 1400mm wing span.


Maybe I will use a yaw gyro to fix unwanted roll.

That will work fine with ArduPilot 2.0, which is optimized for the 3-channel EasyStar. It won't work with ArduPilot 1.0. You'll find that drift in that yaw gyro will have you nose down in the ground within a minute, unless you have accelerometers to calibrate it.

mumble mumble so it's better choose a 4ch plane..

Or just wait for ArduPilot 2.0, within the month.

The FMA sensor will be sold as spare?

get the 4 channel... you'll need the ability to roll at some point specially on a crappy landing in high winds.

well i think that with high wind i dont fly :D

what's a good 4ch alternative??

We can make a plane cassific for UAV.. 3ch and 4 ch based on personal experience!
