I put this on tricopter, and within a hour I was in the air. No computer needed. Simple well put together and nicely packed. The manual has a few typos but easily understandable. It is what it is. It don't have some of the things that the other boards have. But you can set it up in less than a hour. Trust me, I'm not a computer genius. And I never was able to program the other board. I will probably buy this again when I put my quadcopter together.
