Autopilot basic needs from single website

Posted by Ashok NG on March 15, 2010 at 6:45am
Can someone tell me where to order all the necessary items for autopilot? Looks like the components are spread between sparkfun website and this one(DIY drones). I am from India and need to order all of them at once so that I wont lose too much in shipping. Some please help in this regard.
(I have other basic stuffs plane radio etc).

    Ashok you can order with the very basic shipping. It is quite cheap and if you loose an order the cost of the item will be smaller than the shipping fees that you have avoided. The cost of these parts is comparable to the most expensive shipping fees.

    I ordered all the parts for an Ardupilot (minus the ublox that is out of stock) from DIYdrones store, Sparkfun and Adafruit. It took about 10 days for them to arrive and every package was just fine with the minimum postage fee.

    I live in Greece and Europe must be slightly cheaper and faster than India for shipping for US (or maybe not, I don't know) but even so things aren't that bad. I think at average I paid approximately +10% of the parts price for shipping.

    I'm afraid that for regulatory purposes we cannot sell autopilots directly. Therefore you have to order from two websites: us and Sparkfun.
