Something new for heli.  There is an auto pilot 'gyro' system that hoovers very easily for beginners with automatic compensation.  I have tried it and it's fantastic.  It's also very pricey.  Go to ---> http://www.helicommand.com/technology_en.html

for more info.

Hmm, Interesting , but the link is down I guess , would not open. any other links to same stuff . Like Anwar said , the fun in heli starts with ability/learn to hover , so auto pilot i guess steals the show but if this thing could be remotely switched on then i think may be used as crash recovery  like used in SR22 SBS.
