Sounds really great Bill. I wish you every success with the Wingman.
I can see the advantages in using a prop over other micros in this application. Here prop/eeprom cost is not the issue. The prop shines with it's multiple cogs to do each function (or group of functions) in separate objects. This makes the coding so much simpler and faster.
Do post a pic and maybe a link to a video and a description over on the Prop forum (and a link here). Many of us do not frequent here regularly and it will be of interest to all over there.

Yep, Cluso, the Propeller (what a great name considering our product market, eh?) is perfect for what we needed. Processing the Attitude information via the Kalman filters at the same time as working with the GPS, Touchscreen, I/O Expansion, etc. would be next to impossible with a single interrupt driven architecture without dropping some ball somewhere. The prop makes it a breeze... as well as makes it easy for future expansion... hint hint.
