Our Items

Confused what to buy? To make it easier for you to get what you need quickly we have created bundles of the most common required components:
All in one board (Tiny2.11) bundle: Tiny2.11 Bundle <--has GPS and antenna on the main board
Modular (TWOG) bundle: TWOG bundle <--requires an external GPS board to be connected (included w/bundle)

Each autopilot is professionally assembled in a large factory before we receive it. We open each to program and test before shipping. We do the same steps you see on the Wiki to verify it will accept your program when you receive it:

  1. We load the bootloader
  2. configure the GPS module (LEA-5H Tiny2.11 we also update the GPS Firmware to the latest from u-blox)
  3. We load a sample tiny2.11 program into it.
  4. We verify it runs the program (LED1/RED flashes)
  5. Then acquires a 3D fix (LED2/GREEN flashes)

Our goal is we test and get it ready for you to program before you receive it. Freeing you to focus on learning paparazzi.

Please eMail sales@ppzuav.com with any questions or special requests before you place your orders. We return emails as quickly as possible. If it's an easy question within hours. More complex or longer explanation requests may take some time to read then write your answer so be patient.

CheBuzz Paparazzi

CheBuzz Paparazzi is proud to become the first reseller of Paparazzi equipment in the EU. That means faster shipping, no packages getting stuck in customs, and no having to pay import duties! All equipment is thoroughly tested. Your equipment is guaranteed to work upon arrival.

My Current Offerings:


Credit card processing on my website is approved and installed! It is now my preferred form of payment. I also will accept other most other common forms of payment. E-mail me chebuzz@gmail.com to arrange other forms of payment.

Trying to answer some common questions, I strive to make everything as "plug and play" as possible for you. So of course that means the bootloader and GPS have been preprogrammed. The PPM encoder is also preprogrammed and ready to go with the latest bootloader and firmware. Kits come with all the cables necessary. If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them. Please email me and let me know.

*Note - though I am physically located in the EU, I also have access to USPS mail box. Thus I can easily ship orders to the US as well.
