Hey everyone,

My interest in building a GPS guided aircraft over the last few years has gotten much more serious. I am not sure what type of systems are available so I will explain what my friend and I have been discussing. Please let me know if this type of onboard guidance is possible. Also I understand there are AMA rules to govern these types of things but with these rules put aside. If I wanted to build a plane that I could take off, select gps mode, then turn off the transmiter and the plane would use a onboard GPS system to fly the plane to a preprogrammed location and altitude, then circle until it recieved a signal from the transmiter then either land manually or use a auto land system.

I really have no clue as to what type of flight systems are available or any idea on where to look.
Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks
