Hi

I am a student and would like to get started with px4. My budget is not huge so I am looking for a cheap entry platform (drone included).

I would be very greatful for any recommendations and hints for an affordable development platform.

If you are starting and is for development I would recommend the basic set of Holybro https://shop.holybro.com/pixhawk-4-mini-qav250-kit_p1125.html? is $281 but you need a battery and a RC

Thank you. Which Mhz frequency ? Sorry I am new to this :wink:

It depends your country, basically 433MHz for Europe and 915MHz for America, so you need to check your country regulations.

Thanks! I am in Austria so I guess 433Mhz :):grinning:

hi Pedro,

I am trying to find a radio and battery for my qav250. I could not find the Frsky DR4-II anywhere. Any suggestions about a foot radio and batteries for longer flight times.

Thanks

Rupert
