Hi,
I need a APM kit with power module, GPS and telemetry 433 KHz, but only the original 3dr or RCTimer clone.
Used or new condition.

Thank you for the replies, but as I stated, I am only looking for old/new  apm from RCTimer or 3dr only.

Sir any clone will work exactly the same . There's no harm in buying a clone . Most clones are already 3dr approved as it's an open source project .

In my opinion the APM from 3dr/rctimer have better quality electronic components....

other clones may work exactly the same way....but the APM from 3dr will have more durability ...

That actually depends on the quality of the clone ,If  I buy the hobbyking clone( hk pilot 2.7 ) , it would work exactly the same for half the price

madaquif

exactly my point...quality of the product :)

but some people are brand lovers too .... :P

I agree . But most of India is not a brand lover , that's why no one keeps the original apm here . My advice to shreeyak , if you really want a branded one , get it imported .

shreeyak

I have worked with many Arduino clones(apm is based on Arduino) so an aware that it should work the same way.

However, quality is never guaranteed, and we have no way of knowing for sure without buying and using. I'm making a colg project, so limited cash.
Getting a rct or 3dr product guarantees me quality, so I don't have to bother about some component randomly failing or some such issue. Also, the documentation for these two boards is exhaustive. I don't know if the same methods mentioned will always work for other clones.

Haha, thank you devang. Am planning to order my second board from RCTimer, exactly as you said.
