  • Hey Chris, Thanks for the mention!  I had quite a few people asking me about selling a kit and so I am.  Thanks!   

  • Don't get me wrong.. I already have an arducopter in polycarbonate (even if I still have to sit down and assemble it).

    Mine was just a consideration based on what I'm seeing in the market

    If you don't like polycarbonate, ArduCopter is also available in a carbon fiber/aluminum version for $170. A version with motors/ESC/props included is coming soon.

  • Yes, missed the fact that it's a Arduino Mini (even if it could become a UAV just by changing that part)

    Looking at the frame only, Carbon vs plastic is much more than 30USD IMHO

    Simone, I think you're confusing two different things. The Scout ARF kit with electronics is just a RC quad, not an autonomous UAV like ArduCopter. It comes with Arduino mini board, not APM.  They don't offer a RTF version with APM yet.

  • Really good deal...

    I think you guys need to start changing your pricing now that many other companies are coming out with compatible frames:

    • Arducopter (frame + ESC, motor, props) costs 326USD but it's plastic and not carbon.
    • Arducopter kit with electronic costs 534+60 (594USD) while the Scout 3 ARF Quadcopter Kit costs 580 and electronics are even already soldered 

    Simo
