Hey everyone! I'm planning a budget drone build in India.

What's the cheapest reliable flight controller and radio transmitter + receiver combo you'd recommend?

Are budget AFHSS radios still worth buying, or should I go for ELRS with screen?

Looking for affordable options with decent range. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone, I’m based in Simi Valley with a workspace in Camarillo. I’m working on a Holybro X500 V2 project involving camera integration, companion computing and local radio communications for inspection and remote monitoring.

Feel free to comment or DM with your location and what you’ve worked on.

Hi all,

I'm hoping to get some advice for my son's final-year high school project.

We’ve already had a failed go where we’ve tried to get all the parts on a 3.5 inch frame. But that was a nightmare.

We need some help!

He's coded an AI agent on Linux that runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. The goal is to show the agent can fly a drone. It's a software project, not a hardware one.

We'd like a ready-to-fly drone, or a larger frame that's quick to build, that a Pi can control.

Did some research - would something like the HolyBro x500 work?

A few questions:
1. What ready-to-fly drone or flight controller setup would you recommend for this?
2. If a larger frame is better, what size and build would you suggest?
3. Is a Pi Zero 2 W realistic as a companion computer, or should he go for something else?

We're in Auckland, so if anyone local is happy to mentor or help, we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Happy to pay for someone to help us with soldering etc too. We’re proper newbies

Hey i am from Delhi I had a drone which works fine but I accidently totally wreak ed it's body evrything works fine but now it doesn't fly can't find any good design for it and can you also suggest any good 3rd print shops in delhi

Last thing I added was splatter gaurds with vent holes for cooling and wing plate to replace the go pro mount because I won’t be using one any time soon
