PICOPILOT-NA

The PICOPILOT-NA consists of two circuit boards, wire harness and a GPS receiver and programming software CD.  The -NA performs GPS navigation, roll control (wing leveling) and altitude hold.    PICOPILOT was designed for rudder-only, electric motor-gliders (without ailerons ) but it can be adapted to control slow, stable planes (with ailerons).  The control system is designed to interface directly to a common RC receiver which provides ENABLE and MANUAL commands.
