Chinese clone?

Chuckster1

I have an APM 2.6 that says "Arducopter" on the top. I flashed it with Mission Planner(going to be in an airplane), and everything seems fine so far. It was only $69 on Amazon with the GPS module andnpower module was only $17. This is probably a clone of the real thing. Question: Will this be as reliable as spending more money and getting the geniune one?

I suppose that those boards from china may use cheaper components than genuine products.
That said, i have tested several “fake” boards without any notable difference.

If your airplane isn’t in the expensive class, then go for the fake one’s.
