The GPS sensor is a single unit that has both the magnetometer and GPS within it. The telemetry unit is separate and just plugs into the board and has an antenna that sends the information to the software on your laptop, phone or tablet. Mark

I am at work for a 48 hour shift. I will not be home until Sunday afternoon for photos. It is a pretty standard set up. I have the pixhawk on the bottom platform, along with the telemetry and futaba sbus receiver. The ublox gps module is on top next to my battery. I got the setup from...

Hello All, I finished out my F550 and I put a Pixhawk autopilot in it. I also own a DJI Phantom 2 with Zenmuse gimbal. I thought I would try something different than the Naza for this build and I have been very happy with it so far. My Phantom 2 with Zenmuse gimbal was purchased from the...

I'm currently building an F550 frame with a pixhawk autopilot. I will report back after I have flown it the first time. Probably this weekend! Mark Miner

Re: Llilliput 7" 664/W fvp monitor for my phantom 2 setup ?? I started using this three days ago. It is an excellent monitor. bright and crisp. It goes to snow slowly and has had no blue screen that I have seen. I am using the immersionrc 600 transmitter with the loopy antenna on both it...

Without FPV (mine is on the way after a dumptruck load of reading the forums). I shot this in St Thomas this past week. Even though no FPV, I got enough shots to edit a video together. Mark Miner http://youtu.be/oax7iPSHtAQ
