The Holybro Dev Kit also comes with preinstalled motors and ESCs which is pretty nice. I think for the real drone project, I'll be using the T-Motor X-605 coaxial motors with 22inch carbon fiber props. It will be an x8 pattern, meaning dual motors on each arm. These motors are not cheap. Almost 500 USD per unit.

That's why I'll firstly be trying the flight controller and GPS on the #Holybro Dev Kit to make sure I've set it up correctly, before I start assembling the real drone. Would be a shame if it crashed because of me not setting it up correctly...

I haven’t made any updates on my #drone project in a long while, but recently I purchased the flight controller (CUAV X7+) and GPS (#CUAV Neo 3 Pro). I’ll probably need to run a dual GPS setup for better stability, given that it’s a big and expensive drone.

Before buying the motors and ESCs for the actual drone project, I think I’ll get the #Holybro Development Kit X500. It’s affordable and great for testing to ensure everything works properly.
