These are very good flight controllers for the money some thing with those sensors on was a lot more money than that only a few months ago, also easy to setup seeing as they have the defines in multiwii source code

Ive just looked at the price of this board in uk pounds its £26.72 with a full set of sensors 
I paid over £62.00 for a small sensor board called the allinone quite some time ago though but with the same set of sensors

There seems to be a problem with vimeo video's I will get blade runner to look in to it 

[Gaza07]

Excellent video Flyingizmo your cat seems to like your quad to 
It looks like a very nice place to fly

[flyingizm0]

Video should work now. And yes: return to home works too. It was quite windy so the Quad was shooting to far but then bounced back. I tried the RTH only from about 150m but thats my new fails-safe now :-)

Have a look at the new "Airport" I found yesterday :-)

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum 
to connect a gps to this board you will need the GPS and I2c converter from Rctimer from the links below

I've just ordered those two at £20 for the pair. I don't think I'll need the 12c board for my new crius controller but I will be able to use it with the Drotek one I have. Plenty to experiment with over the winter months.

Your right the new Crius AIOP has a serial port so doesn't need a converter, I have also ordered the converter to be able to attach the Gps to other boards to,
From what I have seen the Drotek would also need the converter if it has a I2c header to connect to
