Wooden Agriculture quad- FC!

Hiya!

I am a bit rushed ATM but we own a 6000 acre farm and Dad wants me to take photos of the crops for him.
He has given me a $200 budget, and if I succeeded, um, I don't have to pay him back! :eek:

So for my flight controller, I need stabilisation (phantom like,) and the ability to return to the same place and hight each month for progress shots.
I plan to use my Hawkeye firefly Q6 with a vertical tilt, and a 600mW FPV setup.

I am looking at this: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/micro-h...oller-and-autopilot-with-leads-2-7-2-apm.html

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks, Abe

So what I am asking is if this FC will do what I want and if anyone has used it. Thanks!

I will grab a Rotorbits frame for $6.63 so put all my stuff in while I wait.

My first thought is, if you want it to perform like a Phantom, why not get a Phantom? It might cost a bit more but you and your dad should be able to tell soon after flying it if it will do the job. If not, you can return it to the store (be sure the store accepts returns).

He would like a phantom, but as we are paying off our farm it is a bit to expensive. He would love one though!
As I do fixed wing, he asked me to build him one.

I bought the HKpilot thingy last night so I will probably be back with questions as to how to set it up.
