Not to confuse topics, the guardian is different than the Ardupilot. I wont post anymore about this in this thread, we could always strat another but there is a ton of discussion about "autopilots" under drone headings here and in RC groups.

From what I understand the Ardupilot will also allow you to go to waypoints as well as "home". This wont land your plane although there are some options for "autoland" too if you get that involved. I dotn think I will personally get all of this (ardupilot) in a jet too soon, but am interested to try it in something like maybe a carbon cub?

Jerry flew this Guardian in his Habu and I think he likes it, he might be able to add more detail.
