Board looks really nice Roberto,

Does it have installed OTP certificate so it will work with off the shelf Mission Planner?

Best Regards,

So this is a full small sized substitute to Pixhawk? And the mission planner works just fine?

Ok i stepped into the Vrbrain 5.1 and pre-ordered a board. This will be a good fit for my Ecks 230mm frame. I will let you guys know how it turnes out when it comes in.

Any news about the next vrbrain?

HiNoli, maybe a belt drive version is better if you want to use RTL function. Less problems with tailstrike.

Hi Roberto,

>>What kind of Hely are you plan to use with our autopilot ? Do you have experience with other board ?

I am planning to build one using this helicopter kit:

HK-550TT 3D Torque-Tube Electric Helicopter Kit

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__32410__HK_550TT_3D_Torqu...

Probably you should build one helicopter phototype using this kit with VR micro brain 5.1.

>> Do you have experience with other board ?

We are using APM 2.6 on fixed wing UAV at the moment.

Guys,

Just tried to place an order for five units but the automated checkout did not like my US address. Any help on how I can get these ordered would be appreciated.

Thanks
