Yes , without any doubt . Pretty everything that is manufactured and sold depends on volume to bring the price down . A solid state new tech autopilot could prove to be v reliable and be the biggest innovation in small helicopter safety there has ever been . After 30 yrs of chugging around at 100ft over the hills I now would like to go up and get safe where all you commercial boys are !
Is the genny issue all to do with the batt life ? If so wouldn't carrying a spare battery with a switch give you at least 1hr of flying ?? I am assuming 30 min from each battery which may be wrong ......
