Why don't you try the FY21AP? Its a 3 axis accelerometer + gyro, with stand alone autopilot with RTH and auto circling. Someone has tested it to 100 km. But not on a kerosene turbine…

One of their test pilots at RCG spiraled his plane up to 100km per hour (probably less :) ) in order to de-stabilize the unit. The FY21AP took it all. He did it twice (i think) and the aircraft came back stabilized. http://vimeo.com/13235001 BB

In my opinion the best is to use an ultrasonic altimeter up to 16meter, then the GPS shall do the work.

I went through the SCP1000 specs. Seems extremely promising with 9cm pressure change sensing ability. Space and rotor wash isolation is not a problem. The problem is the lack of knowledge on merging the sensor output to the receiver / swash…

GPS altitude was good enough for heli's last year if you flew when satellites were directly overhead & had a real clean GPS signal. This year, the satellite coverage has been intermittant. Better get a big airframe & an SCP1000. That…

Great info Mr. Altman. Will look into each. NRI did go out of business, with a few unhappy customers in tow.
