Does the Bebop parrot2 with Ardupilot enough for robotic research?

I want to run the Parrot Bebop 2 using motor commands so I can do research on whole body motion control. I have never done a jailbreak and want some quick advice on what is worth doing.

My system is as follows - I want to install the better wi-fi receiver and run the algorithm on my laptop so that Bebop 2 can then implement it. I understand the frequency limitations, but I just don’t understand the capabilities of bebop 2 yet.
My questions are:
0. Is ArduPilot suitable for research and autonomous control?

  1. Will the ArduCopter give me access to direct control of engine speed?
  2. How much processing power does the EKF on board the Bebop 2 take up now?
  3. Is it worth fighting for? What is the possible frequency of input commands via wifi right now?
    Optional 4. What do I absolutely need to make my Ardupilot installation more secure? Because I only have one drone and not many possibilities to have another one.
