A dji drone? Arent they everything youre asking for?
I have not made myself clear, i am attempting to make a tailsitter, not a quad or a plane. Kind of like the xk x520 but autonomous.

I am still designing the body of the aircraft, just thought settling the electronics first would make things a little easier.

I feel like people that are on this forum are not interested in DJI. I myself have been flying DJI for many years and am here because I don’t want anything to do with them anymore.
Theres no denying that their equipment does alot for a small price, and its mass produced and seems to be well sorted. But yes they are like crApple and think they own their customers

You’ll find little interest in DJI here because most everything they make is closed source. There are a few components that can be used in the ArduPilot ecosystem, but by and large, DJI hardware is useless here.
Yes its closed, but one can connect a fc running ardupilot to say a hd vista and get flight controller telemetry back to dji transmitter/goggles. I know it’s only the rc link and fpv system that are dji products, but still offer a reliable product
You missed the part where I said some hardware can be used.
It’s also expensive in addition to closed source, further alienating this community (particularly those interested in sub-250 builds!).
Your assumption is correct. I was validating it and providing some rationale.
From personal experience, I own a set of DJI goggles, and I do like the range and quality. But they mostly piss me off (frustrating updates, lack of config options, binding issues, CADDX drama). I would NEVER consider using DJI RC hardware for lack of configurability (and price).
