Hi,
I have received the following email from 3DRobotics last night, my Iris quadocopter was already in France, at Fedex office for a delivery at home on monday. 3DRobotics say they cancel my order and will refund me, rhis mean they will ask Fedex to send back to product to the US, why such a decision for all customers ? Why cancelling a shipement when the parcel is nearly at your home ?
Here is the email I have received from 3DR
************************************************************************************************
Thanks for your order with 3DR. We're writing to let you know that, due to a temporary change in our shipping policies, we're unable to ship orders outside of the US and Canada. We'll be cancelling and refunding your order immediately. We're very sorry for the inconvenience, and we'll let you know when we can resume shipments to your country.
If you have any questions or would like to make modifications to your order, write to us at help@3drobotics.com or call our support line at +1 (858) 225-1414, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm PST.

Please don't wreck this exploit by publicising it.
Discretion here is the only way some of us can continue to use these devices.
I'm tired of waiting for pixhawk to be in stock again in european stores.
What is the best alternative to pixhawk and APM as plane flight controllers?
I've been told about PitLab, can someone tell more?
Thanks
Antonio...try to buy here, most of them still sell Pix

Of the 5 autopilots i have seen/worked with in a plane personally (Range Video, Eagletree, My Fly Dream, Cyclops, and APM/Pixhawk) the APM / Pixhawk fly the best and have by far the best auto navigation and telemetry.
Why don't you buy an APM 2.6 from a Chinese source? Eventually the export thing will get worked out and you can upgrade to Pixhawk then. In the mean time you will be up the learning curve on the APM... and they fly really well.
Thanks for the advice. I was trying to avoid the chinese copies, but seems like that there's no better option.
I've used both genuine and clones, no difference to me. Will buy Pixhawk once export issues are sorted (shipping to Europe).
Thanks Emin,
And so each of these depend on the other one for their existence.
Little variation is that manufacturer invest a lot of money trusting that we the Community would back them. So if " we "are not there then both "You" and "they" will be seeking different profession.
G.Day guys.
