I wonder if this will be similar in performance to Align's flybarless controllers- hopefully not!

SleepyC are you planning on doing a review? Would like to know your thoughts on how APSM performs compared to SuperX.

 

[Ti@goo]

Would like to know that too. And the price?

 

[SleepyC]

Hey guys, we just got the new version of the site up and running and believe me we will be doing a LOT more work with manufacturers, reviews, press releases you will find it here.

Could be pretty good. Though they've had the odd stinker, Align usually make quality stuff.

How would this compare to the Naza-M?

 

[Mark Logsdon]

You guys asked all the questions I was going to ask. I'm going to sit back and wait to see what happens.
