I picked up this auto pilot while it was on sale for $19.95. It's back to original price now.

Spent a couple of weeks installing it on my born-again HobbyKing EPP FPV test platform and bench testing it. Worked great on the bench.

Here's a short video of it's maiden flight from a couple of days ago. Obviously more testing required and now I know why most models are painted white! ;D

Too bad Frank. 
What was impressive however, was the flight data record, which led you to the crash site?  Great!
