Discontinued: Arkbird Airplane Autopilot OSD 2.0 Lite with M8N GPS & Current Sensor

This is the autopilot you have been waiting for, it follows on from where the popular original Arkbird Autopilot (V3.1028) left off. The Arkbird 2.0 Lite (V3) is a high accuracy autopilot designed for fixed-wing, it superimposes an On Screen Display showing all the critical flight data whilst at the same time controlling and stabilising the aircraft. It is a fantastic plug n play system with no soldering required, easy set-up and easy installation. The Arkbird is perfect for FPV flying and gives total peace of mind due to its many features including the ‘Return to Home’ function which can be activated by the flick of a switch or via the failsafe if the signal is lost.

Features of the Arkbird 2.0 Lite (V3) include a high accuracy airspeed meter interface with airspeed and ground speed control. Launch assist which if you hand launch your aircraft it will automatically start the motor when the aircraft reaches a speed higher than 5kmph. This is a great function for when you are hand launching a flying wing with a pusher propeller. Other notable features are ‘Fence’ mode which will keep the model within a defined area. ‘Cruise’ mode which will keep the aircraft straight and at a constant height and also it has a PTZ output which uses channels 5 & 6 to enable you to interface it with a camera gimbal to keep the camera level. These are just a few of the features of this remarkable autopilot, see below for the full list.
