First build, Turnigy SK450, can an altitude hold option be added and how?

[DannyV]

Hey everyone,

I'm pretty new to the drone world and I've been "trying" to fly my sk450 all summer, please reference the "trying". I've had some good flights and some not so very good flights! I was wondering if there was a way of adding altitude hold and a "return home" feature to my sk450 and if so, what would I have to purchase in order to add those to my drone? I am running the KK2.1.5 control board. I would greatly appreciate any and all help! Thank you in advance.

You'd have to change your flight controller to one that's GPS capable. Lowest cost would be Tarot ZYX-M or Naza-M V2

Awesome, I'll definitely take a look into those controllers! I appreciate the quick response.

Thanks for the link Jackson! Would I still need to purchase a different flight controller like Reno mentioned above? or is the Mini-APM-pro flight control also a flight controller? I'm new to all of this so I'm still trying to learn the basics and how it all works. Thanks in advance guys!

Oh and one other question, once a new flight controller and gps module is installed, is it simple enough for someone who know's absolutely nothing (me) to get it in working order and calibrated correctly? Thanks again!

Like Negan said last night on The Walking Dead - easy peasy, lemon squeezy

Lol, I haven't watched that show in a long time! Looks like I'll have to catch up, but thanks again for your help, I'll let you guys know when I purchase the new additions!

So I've been doing some research and I came across this on Ebay: ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/APM2-8-Flig...897807?hash=item3cf5ae97cf:g:NAYAAOSwQTVWCkeB ) Would this be a good buy for the price? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

No, that is the flight controller.
