MP2128HELI2
Description
Like all autopilots in the MP2x28ᵍ² series, the MP2128HELI2 provides extraordinary user definability. Its open architecture provides the end user with full documentation, access to gains and the ability to load your own code using MicroPilot’s XTENDER Software Developer’s Kit, making it not only the smallest VTOL autopilot in the world, but also one of the most versatile at a price point never before seen in helicopter autopilots. Using proven MicroPilot technology, this autopilot is upward compatible with the popular MP2028ᵍ² and MP2128ᵍ², giving you the ability to use gains and other settings over MicroPilot’s entire 2×28 autopilot series.
