Beautiful location and good quality camera.

Was the autopilot tricky to setup? Such a cheap system I must admit it's tempting for my cheaper smaller planes.

Thanks Billy Boy , Scotland certainly does have some lovely scenery-especially on the odd DRY day ;)
The T1000fc is the first flight controller I've used so not sure how it compares to more expensive models.
I did find it very easy to install and set up although I did read everything I could find about it first.
If you're happy with just cruising around and not doing any stunts of any sort then YES I'd recommend it -it's RTH works perfectly and that's why I got it-peace of mind :)
p.s make sure you have at least 60% throttle set on failsafe since throttle is not controlled by the T1000 .
Mine was set too low so because the unit tries to maintain altitude it stalled and crashed.  :o

Nice repair :) Looked pretty busted up there.

Lovely location you have to fly at :)

Thanks Coyote , yes it did get quite well hit!
I'm almost glad though because now it has that much filler and paint on it that in the vids the foam doesn't show. ;)
