Magnus Pettersson replied to Monroe Lee King Jr's discussion Total noob to traditional heli!
"Heh, I am also looking at helicopters in addition to my quadcopter and tricopter.
I have been recommended the Align 450 plus dfc as a good beginner heli. The owner of http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/ seem to recommend this copter too.

Magnus Pettersson commented on Szilard's blog post APM 2.6 + GPS with compass
"Find it peculiar that 3drobotics homepage states the old apm2.5 is not compatible with the new GPS + compass combo. Especially since a feature of the apm2.5 is the ability to disable the onboard compass for an external."
