Is ArduPilot what I need?

Hi,I currently have infront of me a very large working model of an MQ-9 Reaper. In the near future it will require an autopilot system that can direct the aircraft through a list of waypoints and on my command from the basestation follow a different list of waypoints for example, follow a circuit then on command enter a holdin pattern then enter a landing approach for me to take manual control.Will this work with Ardupilot or any other low cost systems?Thanks in advance.Jake

  • Hi there Jake, is that the 98" reaper from Nitroplanes.com? if so, how does it fly, is it stable, smooth, and does it perform well with an OSD and other sensor equipment on. Pros and cons would be cool, Thanks.

    No, ArduPilot does not have two-way communications with the ground station (waypoints are pre-programmed on the ground). You'd be better off with Paparazzi.
