[time-nuts] Low cost GPS for model aircraft

[Chris Albertson]

Yes there are complete autopilot system with integrated gyros,
accelerometer compass horizon sensors and so on.  You give the AP some
waypoints the it will fly to them.   Basically a drone controller.  I think
you can have one for about $100 in hardware.
