Fit your RC plane with this system and not only will it be easier to fly but it will also return home with the flick of a switch... well that is the claim. The good news is that it works "as advertised" and is super-simple to install and set up. Not so flash is the stiff and awkward GPS cable and GPS receiver setup.
Yes, all this functionality could be created using a regular telemetry-enabled RC system and a separate flight controller running software like iNav but the Detrum system is a super-simple option for the tech-challenged amongst us.
If you want a system that will "get you started" and you plan to by another RC set further down the road then this system is definitely an option for those first few models.
The product is available from a number of hobby retailers. I don't use affiliate links so if you plan to buy, shop around for the best deal.
