It arrived fast and as pictured (with WiFi daughter-board and SD-Memory-Card). It appears to be generally good build quality for a cloned FC from the outside (metal case, etc.).
From Windows MissionPlanner, I loaded: APM:Copter v3.4-rc5
On the PixRacer (BG clone) hardware, it's identified as:APM:Copter v3.4-rc5 (0d9d101f)
Note: Due to a recent IMU hardware issue fix in code, this might be the first firmware version that is working 100% for this particular FC.
After firmware upgrade to this version, my PixRacer still Connects to MP and seems to operate normally for a benched FC with only an USB connection. Even in this minimal state, I went ahead and did some minimal Compass and Accelerometer calibrations. The PixRacer continues to operate properly in MissionPlanner's HUD.
I will try some more elaborate bench-test configs, and post about those test results later. My initial opinion is favorable.
any News ?

DeleteUpdated my post with some test results.
DeleteAnd? How did it go? How was the drone in the air? What are You using as the rest of the drone? I am realy interested in finding as much different FC experiences as possible, because I am planning a project on my own. But, anyway, with the electronics aside, you realy first need to learn to fly with a smal cheap mini quad, and then try out some of the big boys :) In best case, a drone that you built yourself. Here is an article that helped me get familiar with some of the basics in drone piloting: http://mydronelab.com/blog/how-to-fly-a-quadcopter.html
