    Buy from DIYDrones, all the profits go to making awesome new products and to those who deserve it !

     

    I thoroughly doubt the chinese will invest their profits in pioneering affordable autopilots

     

    at least thats what i like to think :X

    Chris,

    Can you tell us what does it mean for this community if you get less money from us ? ie: are the core dev paid/supported by diydrones sales ? is it paying for the forums website ?

    I just want to understand why it may not be a good thing for the long term to go chinese and to counter-balance the short term benefits.

    Our products are open source, so this is allowed. However they may not use the name ("ArduPilot Mega") or our logo, which are trademarked. So we'll be filing to make them change the name.

    Needless to say, if you buy these boards, you can't get support from us and who knows what the quality is. So caveat emptor!
