    @DirtCreature, I will have the preorder open tonight on http://auav.co . Deliveries are expected in December. Thank you for the support.

    This is pretty epic. Can we place pre-orders? :)

    this is what i've been waiting for, a supported micro px4 with all the uart's routed to connectors. I really like having telem on my taranis, the other micro px4's make that hard. This will fit nicely in my 250 quad.

    thanks, and good work.

    $130 is a good price for such a complex bit of kit, hope that is the right price but seems a bit low.
