Co Pilot II System Combo 2

Having trouble deciding which system to buy?  Read the following:, CPII-C1 is the basic system.  All features are similar to the other combo's, but without the vertical sensor, automatic temperature calibration is not available.  Calibration is simple to do and without the vertical sensor installed, the menu system will automatically include another option for calibration.  Calibration should be performed 1 time per flying day, or whenever the weather conditions change drastically.  Also, without the vertical sensor installed, the aircraft is likely to recover from inverted flight using a split-S maneuver (half of an outside loop) which, if the aircraft is not at high enough altitude can result in contact with the ground.  The vertical sensor, when installed, always forces Co Pilot II to roll the aircraft from inverted flight with little loss of altitude.  Finally, without the vertical sensor, certain 3D flight modes such as knife edge and vertical hover are not possible.  Combo 1 also does not include the PC interface which means you will not be able to access automatic firmware updates using a personal computer running Windows operating systems., To view video demonstrations, click the YouTube links below:, CPII Quick Setup Video, Size:, CPII Computer Module (LxWxH):, 1.754" x 1.115" x 0.460", CPII Main Sensor (LxWxH):, 0.965" x 0.965" x 0.360", CPII Vertical Sensor (LxWxH):, 0.965" x 0.701" x 0.360", IRNet Router (LxWxH):, 1.205" x 1.005" x 0.532" (not including mount tabs), Weight:, Ratings:, System will operate on normal R/C voltage range of approximately 3.5v to 6v., Power Source:, System is powered from your radio's receiver., Applications:, Adds safe and effective flight stabilization to any R/C model aircraft for assistance in learning new aerobatic manuevers,, Radio:, The Co Pilot 2 is not an RF device and therefore it will operate with any type or brand of R/C radio system in,

Co Pilot II System Combo 2

The
NEW
Co Pilot II systems represent the culmination of years of cumulative technological development and manufacturing knowledge in commercial flight stabilization.  FMA's patented Infrared thermo-technology for semi-automomous control of R/C model aircraft has an outstanding reputation, with ten's of thousands of units sold.  Adding an additional level of safety to model aircrafts of all types, the time-proven concept has enabled pilots from all over the world to fly with confidence, learn new aerobatic manuevers, protect their investment in case of electronic or mechanical failure, and assist modelers of all experience and skill levels to just feel more confident when flying.
The CPII is far more than a simple wing leveling device.  Yes, it will bring your aircraft to straight and level flight from any attitude simply by centering the control sticks, but the new system includes features and enhancements that go far beyond its predecessors.  Fueled by the amazing new IRNet (Infrared network) for wire-free control of on-board avionics, setup has never been simpler.  Just point the the wireless IRNet programmer at the aircraft, access the main menu option "Quick Setup" and Co Pilot II's advanced computer system walks you through a series of simple questions pertaining to how you have chosen to install the various components such as main sensor, vertical sensor, as well as how you have chosen to configure remote ON/OFF functions and new Flight Modes.  Yes, the CPII includes all new 3D modes that can easily and safely enable you to learn or practice new maneuvers like inverted flight, knife edge, or vertical hover, all at the flip of a switch.  If the aircraft falls out of the intended attitude, Co Pilot II knows it.  It will de-activate the 3D mode, and activate level flight mode or Co Pilot OFF, whichever you have chosen.
The new smaller and lighter digital sensors and computer modules also allow for installation across a wide number of platforms.  The system supports any conceivable aircraft configurations from airplanes, to heli's, to VTOL; any aircraft which require no more than 4 channels to operate pitch and roll.  This includes support split or differential ailerons, flapperons, all forms of CCPM helicopters and more!

CPII-C2 - Combo 2 includes the vertical sensor which will allow automatic and continuous, in-flight weather calibration, the added intelligence of having the aircraft always recover from inverted flight to level flight by rolling the aircraft, and access to all 3D flight modes.  Combo 2 also does not include the PC interface which means you will not be able to access automatic firmware updates using a personal computer running Windows operating systems.
CPII-C3 - Combo 3 includes all current system components available for Co Pilot II including the vertical sensor and the FUIM2 PC interface.
