APM 2.0 Sonar - Which one? and GPS detachable?

Which sonar do I need to purchase with my order?

.

I need to be able to move the gps higher in the airframe, away from the electronics.  Can this be done with the APM2? If so is there someplace I can go read to learn how to do it?

Also, while we are on the subject, can the mag be relocated as well? I would also like to have it farther from the airframe. If the mag can not be moved, can I disable and add another that is moveable? Will I lose anything by taking up another i/o with a secondary mag?

Thank you for your time. I emailed this question along with others and never got a reply. Called today and still didn't get much of a reply. Any help would be appreciated before I choose to go another route.

  • That's my only major complaint about the APM2.  They globbed everything together, and most of it should have been kept separate.

  • I'm not sure about the mag part, but you can order the one without the gps option, and then add an external gps.  Make sure you order a cable that is long enough as well, since the gps only comes with one that's 5cm long.

    For the sonar, I would get the MB1200 XL EZ0.  I have the MB1260 XL EZL0 but I think it's too sensitive.  When I try the attitude hold it rode up and down following the small objects on the ground.
