I am currently using a Pixhawk flight controller, but I am building a 250 mini quad and would like something smaller and cheaper. I am not going to do autonomous mission and don't need a GPS, but I would like to ability to add one later.
Are there other smaller arducopter flight controllers out there? What are their disadvantages?
I am use to the APM mission planner, but what about other types of flight controllers? Are they as easy to set up and use as the Pixhawk?
Thanks,
Rich

Rick,
Thanks for the input. I looked those up and watch a youtube video of the set up. I'll give that a try at some point. For now I am comfortable using the Mission planner, so I will probably stick with an Arducopter board.
I found called the HKPilot. It's a smaller cheaper board that interfaces with Mission Planner. It's from Hobby King.
Richard Boyhan, thanks for the info. However, suggesting a google search isn't much help. I come on this forum in the hopes that those with a lot more experience than me, will share there knowledge and experiences.
