Hi,I am new to UAVs and have a question for the experts. I am building an experimental aircraft and I am in the process of researching various instruments when i came upon UAV autopilot boards with OSD. This would be perfect for an attitude indicator. The data could also be sent to the copilot in the rear of the AC. Can the software handle higher altitudes and speeds? 20,000 feet 200 knots? Are the IMU sensors capable of this expansion of capabilities? I really like what I see on the various web sites. I have experience with electronics but light in the software area. Thanks for any help.Joe Berki

I do not mean to laugh, :) but are you serious about the co-pilot in the back seat of an UAV...
That to me defeats the purpose of a UAV - UAV stands for Unmanned ? Aerial Vehicle.
Also, I would not put a human rated aircraft up with an Ardupilot, or any other form of small scale sUAS autopilot. Much more commercially viable autopilots are in place for man-rated flight - especially if the co-pilot is in the aircraft.

Just my 2 cents....
