We've got some awesome new products coming out on Friday, along with great discounts as part of our annual DIY Drones store Black Friday Sale. It will start at midnight EST on Thurs (9:00 PM PST) and go through the weekend.
Get ready for a new version of the APM 2.5 kit, with a sleek enclosure, a new improved MTK GPS with a larger antenna, firmware and battery backup. Plus a cool new accessory: a power supply + current/voltage power sensor, all in a tiny board. And all these are now included in the new APM 2.5+, at a new, lower price! (The APM 2.5 itself is unchanged; it just now comes in a cooler, cheaper package).
Also, look for new PX4 kits, including everything you need for this exciting new autopilot.

Comments
Todd: PX4 firmware is available for RC use, but the full autopilot code will not be out until early next year.
David: Yes, that is the enclosure that people who already have an APM2.5 can get for free.
Hein: The sale will begin at midnight EST tonight (9:00 PM PST).
Can't wait to order! Is the PX4 firmware ready, or is it still in development?
O new FREE box for APM 2.5 buyers is this correct Chris ????
You guys and readymadeRC. Just take my money, TAKE IT.
Yes please, for us overseas, when is the sale on, exactly?
Do I need to pull an all-nighter? :)
Oh, and you have a sale on the 3DR Radio, what about just the airborne side?
Oh good, I need to get another Ublox. Just hope I can figure out cheap shipping to Canada.
When does the sale start, GMT? :D
Exciting indeed! And Chris, is this the enclosure that those with an existing 2.5 will receive? And if only I knew about this before placing my spares order a couple of days ago! (:
