  I had spend couple of months, rather about two years on this legacy board but could not make a single flight of my plane. After crashing the plane I was so disheart that I left the activity for two years. Then I started flying quad copter. This year I bought an APM 2.5 with a GPS and right from my first flight with APM on quad copter I haven't found any issue in it. The different Modes in it, specially the Auto mode is amazing and I am so happy with it. Now I have bought another APM to try on plane.

  @Coastwise,

  I have a number of the old ATMega 328 Ardupilots and their shields.

  PM me and I will see what I can do for you.

  The you mean the "shield" that was mentioned in the original post? If so, I'm afraid I don't even have one myself. That was a long time ago!

  Does anyone have or know of the whereabouts of an interface/adapter mentioned by Chris,above, for the Ublox Lea-5h GPS?
  
  I have been looking to buy one, new or used, for a long while without any luck, hence this cry into the wild.
  
  Thanks,

  I don't know why I still fool with this but I do. I'm running FreeIMU, outputting DIYd binary on a Flip1.5 instead of the ArduIMU. I added a I2C daughter board that sends the Ublox protocol to the Flip. It took me a while to figure out the binary enough to get the ArduIMU Test to read it. If that program will read it, then the Ardupilot will.
  
  The only benefit is a $15.00 IMU, $5.00 I2C daughter board vs. $75.00 ArduIMU. That would bring the combination IMU/Autopilot to about $60.00 with GPS. The other benefit is I get to learn a few things.
  
  It'd be nice to squeeze all the Ardupilot stuff onto the $15.00 Flip. That would take some rework and combining with Multiwii code. The Ardupilot does a good job of handling modes and navigation, but the multiwii does a good job of combining IMU with reading radio. Somewhere in there is a decent little autopilot.

  its a MPU6050 6-axis gyro/accel sensor attached to a piggybacked brushless motor driver pcb on an arduino pro mini 328p

  Just a shrunk down brushless gimbal controller

  still deciding what version of the firmware is best
