For the benefit of the community I was going to do a side by side compairson of the AP 2000i and the Helicommand.
That was until major disaster struck. I was running the second pack on my TREX 450 ap rig with the Helicommand installed when the ship was totaled by a dust devil. The ship was sent tumbling down the street about 100 yards.
The list of destruction is too long to post, I am strongly considering a total re-kit to replace the ship along with a new Askman APLG mount.
Here is a brief synopsis of my results.
Both do a great job of turning your helicopter into a stable camera platform.
Above 15' both will keep the Helicopter stable but drift with the wind.
The helicommand does have a gyro built in, in the brief time I was able to fly the ship I was not able to get the gain set well enough to prevent tail wagging. I can't give good impressions on how well the gyro worked.
