All,
I was going to buy a Bixler 2 to use as a learning platform for the APM 2.6 + GPS + Mission Planner + telemetry + autonomous flight. No video for now. It seemed like this was one of the most affordable ARF and well understood planes out there. Unfortunately HK has them back-ordered out of the US warehouse with no word on when they will be available. Can anyone recommend an equivalent alternative that you think will be the least hassle getting up and going and under $100? (that's in stock?).
I need to come up to speed to the point I can transfer this gear and knowledge into a much larger 4 CH UAV that will include imaging and other detection payload that needs to fly probably 10km from the MP.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
James

Update: I ended up ordering a 1.1 It looks like it will be fine as a trainer. Will let you know how it goes.
