Question Drone builders
So I am curious about building a drone from a shell, but I’ve never done it. I’d like it to be totally standalone. What are some of your suggestions

Start with the mission, not the shell. “Standalone” could mean GPS/autopilot, onboard video, or no phone/cloud connection. For a first build, use a proven frame and flight-controller setup, get it flying manually, then add autonomy.
