Holybro X500 V2 500mm Quadcopter Frame Kit, Carbon Fibre

The Holybro X500 V2 is a 500 mm carbon-fibre quadcopter frame kit for PX4 and ArduPilot development, education and payload work, designed to go together in about 15 minutes. It takes Pixhawk-class autopilots and leaves room for a companion computer, and every tool needed for assembly comes in the box.
