Hello all,

I am new to multi rotors and actually have my first build items on order right now.

The last thing I need to sort out is the flight controller and I have been very much drawn to Arducopter rather than the other offerings for a number of reasons:

1. I like open source in principal

2.A boatload of functionality for reasonable money

3. The strong community I have been following here while researching options.

I have a few questions that I hope can be answered (until I start building anyway!):

Is it fair to say that APM2.6 for multirotors has now effectively been surpassed by the introduction of the 32bit pixhawk and, if that is the case, is that the platform that a new entrant should go to due to the developers now placing their time and efforts into the development and improvement of that platform?

Is Arducopter on pixhawk as stable as on apm3.x?

Thanks and I hope to be able to contribute to this community with time?
