Hey all, noob here. Been working with a used 250 FPV for the past year, but decided I wanted to venture out into AP. Aside from upgrading and replacing parts on my 250, I'm pretty new to building but eager to learn. I just purchased a kit for a F550 off eBay for $250. The components are listed below. I know some of the parts are of lesser quality, which parts specifically though could easily be upgraded? How can I maximize battery life? And lastly, aside from a transmitter, is there anything else missing or am I ready to build? Thanks!
1x F550 Hexacopter (Flamewheel) Frame Kit
6x Brushless Motor A22122 13T
6x Brushless ESC 30A*6
6x Propeller 10 ×4.5in
1x Hardware and Accessories
1x ArduPilot Mega APM 2.6 Multicopter Flightcontroller
1x APM Flight Controller Ublox NEO-6M High Precision GPS Module with Compass
1x 3DR Radio Telemetry Kit 915Mhz Module for APM Ardupilot
1x APM2.5 / APM2.6 Power Module/current Module X160 Plug wit BEC
1x Flight Controller Anti-vibration Set Shock Absorber for APM 2.5 2.6 /KK/MWCFC APM2.5 2.6
Any and all advice on this build is welcome! Because the kit itself was only $250, I'm willing to spend some money on upgrades, if they will make a difference
