Good day!I am planning to build acrobatic plane with Ardupilot Mega autopilot. I would highly appreciate if someone provides me with following information:1.I am wondering if there will be correction for horizon drift from gyroscopes/ accels? I plan to have flight time of 60 – 100 minutes.2.Will there be possibility to set maximum flying angles?3.What software to use for ground station for waypoint configuration?4.I plan to turn off my radio after plane is in sky…will autopilot make correction than (on how many channels)?More questions to come.Guntars Kokins

As stated in other posts using the word "illegal" it's not correct. "It's illegal without premission" will be correct
I live in switzerland and the default is that you cay fly an UAV only in sight range AND the radio controlling the drone all the time.
But you can ask for a permission to the aviation regulator and let inspect your UAV concept. There are no rules to get such permission but if you have enough redundant communication systems and some emergency concepts (like a parachute for mission cut-off) and let look all professional they give you a permission... after a lot of paper work.
And that in the hardest (working) burocracy in the world! So I guess in USA and other country it's even easier. But you have to ask for.
EU hasn't got rules for UAV so far, but each country has its own system (mostly under the laws regulating the rc flight)

1) Yes, yaw drift is compensated by GPS directional vector. You can also add a magnetometer if you want.
2) Yes
3) A variation of the current LabVIEW GCS first, then probably a variation of the PixHawk GCS

1. Can I use Ardupilot Mega just for stabilization (without GPS)?
2. When will ardupilot shield be in stock?
