XYZ horizon sensor
Any idea when these sensors will be in stock? My high school students are building a drone, and they're running out of time. They need to test fly in April, and the project is due May 5. Are there alternative sensors we might consider using with our Ardupilot system?

You can use the FMA XY sensor and just set the config file to show you're not using a Z. It's a more complicated field setup procedure without a Z, however.

Since we're all novices, I think it best to wait for a resupply of the XYZ sensors. Does anyone know when they might be available again?

I know its not from the drone shop but in case of quick delivery this is a option in the UK. Good service there:

Why do you think the FMA sensor is any harder to use? If you truly want a Z sensor to simplify the "field calibration" Chris mentions, buy 2 X-Y sensors @ 42.95 from FMA and tip one sideways. It'll still be cheaper than the X-Y + Z here by $20-25. They ship quick!
