ART-TECH AUTO PILOT

Posted by Gagarien on March 23, 2009 at 8:27am

They call it an Auto-pilot but are a copy of the FMA Co-pilot.Looks like it does everything Co-pilot does butwithout servo reverse function.I have no idea on pricing either and got the following specs. on it:Voltage: +4V to 6VReaction Time: 1/60 of a secondWithin 2 degrees accurate.

    FMA Manual page 2 bottom say - US Patent xyz and other country's patent pending or some thing like that.

    No, I think the Art-Tech one uses IR but probably violates FMA's patent. The Futaba one is indeed visible light and not good.

    "Does that mean that the Art-tech is visible light like the Futaba"
    ultra high probability since FMA patented the use of IR sensor for stabilisation.

    Does that mean that the Art-tech is visible light like the Futaba?

    That would be dissappointing.

    This product was selled last year (a lot of EU shop and ebay shop) but now it's hard to find.
    I know people that use it, it's accurate but they say FMA CPD4 is better.

    An alternative is Futaba Pilot PA-2, but it can work with sun low at the orizont..

    This store looks like it is a Norwegian or Danish of origin at KR499 +/- $90 if I'm not mistaken but could be wrong and this site

    Do you know if it's available for sale anywhere? Last I checked it was being sold in Europe, but I can't find it now.
