ArduPilot now available to buy!
Great news! ArduPilot is now available to buy at Sparkfun. The price is $24.95 (or buy 100 at $19.96 each ;-)). Note: there is a limited number available now, but Sparkfun can make more pretty quickly so get your order in now and they'll be filled from backorder in the order they were received.
[Update on availability from Sparkfun: ~15 coming out of production today/morrow. 63 more PCBs ready. Waiting on xtals (probably about a week).]
You'll also need an EM406 GPS module, and for all but the most stable planes, an FMA Co-Pilot, so unless you already have those items, the total cost of the autopilot will be around $155.
Huge thanks to Nathan Siedle at Sparkfun for helping us get through the production snafus and otherwise taking this project under his wing. Now let's win his autonomous vehicle competition with an ArduPilot-guided plane!

Just ordered 3 plus accessories - when I started the order there were 7 in stock but by the time I had finished placing the order they were back-ordered!
Hot cakes!

You guys are really greedy buying up more than 1 when only a few are available. Honestly, what are you going to do with 3 all at once, sleep with them next to you on your pillow?

No, it's not greed, I have 2 aircraft on the bench and another on order (a larger, non-FPV platform)
