Hello! I'm new to the DIY Drone community, but have been into R/C aircraft and FPV for years. (Started back in highschool with a simple 200mw 1.2Mhz transmitter and camera on my sailplane) Anyway, I'm interested in upgrading my plane to have some UAV capabilities but I am not sure if my software skills are upto using Adrupilot and such. (Requires some code level programming?) I've been looking at other solutions, and the one that interests me most is the: http://www.foxtechfpv.com/fy21ap-ground-station-upgrade-package-with-dual-433mhz-602-data-p-231.htmlBut... I'm confused about the link above. The FY21AP It looks like this "Upgrade" is based on the FY3ZT which is much more advanced than the FY21AP...right?One feature I'd really enjoy is a ground station with point and click on a map ability - or at least some type of method to have it circle a waypoint.Can anyone offer any advice? Can this be done with a setup based on the FY21AP, or do I have to go to the FY3ZT? Any other reasonably priced solutions?

ArduPilotMega doesn't require any programming and has a point-and-click GCS and Mission Planner.
I've got a FY3ZT and aside from being quite expensive, the GCS is very crude. There is an effort to make it compatible with the excellent HappyKillmore GCS (which is one of those supported by ArduPilotMega) but I don't think it's there yet.
The FY21 isn't a UAV autopilot (no mission planning); it's just a stabilization and return-to-home board..
