Yes there are complete autopilot system with integrated gyros,
accelerometer compass horizon sensors and so on. You give the AP some
waypoints the it will fly to them. Basically a drone controller. I think
you can have one for about $100 in hardware.

Is there real information in all of those updates, or is it just doing the
traditional 1 per second calculations and extrapolatin
Hi:
The 66 channel GPS receiver really can't track 66 satellites because there are not that many, but having that many
channels greatly reduces time to first fix.
This is the only low cost receiver I've found that has 10 Hz update rate and that's very important for aircraft flight

There are quite a few off the shelf model aircraft controllers. As you can
imagine, those based on GPS and/or MEMS IMUs are not terrifically high
performing. That said, I have seen very promising results from thermopile
based systems - good discussion in the link below

Wow! IR horizon sensors for pitch and roll model aircraft! That is neat.
Thanks,

This chatter about model aircraft GPS got me to wondering if there now
off-the-shelf flight control systems for model planes that will do nav
and/or attitude control? I know there are mini-gyros, but I think they are
only good enough for attitude control.

Design so that when that module is no longer available, you've got pins and
software switches to use something else. Lots of one off projects depend on
something surplus or cheap, and rapidly become non-duplicate-able when the
parts supply ends.

Now my question is: what do you think of the above GPS model? Does anyone
have experience with it? It is supposedly based on the ublox NEO-6M GPS
module

I have finally decided to take the plunge and design a low cost frequency
standard and that module looks like a good place to start. Couple it with a
