Can I use MP plug-ins written with XTENDER^mp on the MP1028^g?

You can use Horizon plug-ins, but you cannot use MP plug-ins.

Can multiple 1028^gs communicate with the Horizon simultaneously?

You cannot communicate with multiple MP1028g autopilots via the same radio modem. You can, however, communicate with multiple MP2028g autopilots provided you have multiple datalinks.

Will the gains that I set on the MP2028^g work with the MP1028^g?

The MP2028^g is designed to be upward compatible with the MP1028^g so all of the gains will work.

What are the differences between the MP1028^g and the MP2028^g?
