Why not just say from scratch instead of no prior experience, is it to brag
I'd expect an engineering project with "no prior experience" to take weird/experimental approaches more often compared to a "from scratch" project (where I would expect proven minimalism instead).
You know you're doing a great job, OP, when the peanut gallery here has nothing more substantial to add than to critique your em-dashes; greek-latin root word mix-ups despite the common vernacular having moved on from that; and lack of title brevity. Congratulations --- this is a super cool project. I wonder if you've considered using ultralight filaments and 3dprinting the frame? PLA is stiff but brittle, and I know…

Hm making an AI assisted page and replacing the emdashes with double dashes seems like more work than to just rewrite the text yourself. Not sure why you would do that.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hence a nit.
Nit pick: "nit pick" means to remove tiny bugs from hair, which this is not. Oh, language changes and now "nit pick" means "to make trivial criticisms" even though neither "nit" nor "pick" etymologically has anything to do with criticisms? How very self-serving of you ;)

The milled fiberglass the author used is a much better UAS frame material than anything from a filament 3d printer due to stiffness and related considerations.
If I were to get a dirt cheap Chinese drone, would that be more likely to use RL or MCP? What’s the “standard”?
Higher end stuff will use a ton of inputs (visual odometry, binocular vision, lidar, range finding, etc) fused into some kind of proprietary blended algorithm that you could probably call an MPC.
RL is pretty cutting edge, especially for fast path motor control; there are a lot of university competitions for drone control that lead to a lot of papers and projects in the space (some promising) but most commercial stuff has not adopted this yet, certainly not at the low end.
