Phillip, While I had intended to buy the Xracer, I am also interested in getting another full-featured Pixhawk compatible FC that does not use connectors that have only rated life of 50 cycles... [errm..cough...DF13] and if can buy from a North American source , all the better.
I do find that generally, [for me anyways - so far], that less than half of the connectors are ever used at one time, whether it a quad or an Airplane setup, and it does seem that the XRacer is the result of 'cutting the fat' off in the right way, for most builds.
I just pre-ordered a couple ACSP4's & an XRacer. I was Interested in the AUAV-X2 Pixhawk FC , but it does not show stock.
Will it be available again?

When is the exact delivery date in December?
I just Pre-Ordered. Wondering about vibrations and mounting methods. Any thoughts anyone? Could not tell if Randy hard mounted or used foam tape.
I'd love to use this on my racing frames, but I'm using ESCs with OneShot and Arducopter doesn't support that yet.
I would purchase this board! Randy's video of the Iris convinced me.
