The Holybro S500 V2 ARF Drone Kit brings 10 years of UK flight-bench experience straight to your workshop. This 480mm wheelbase platform skips the soldering hassle with an integrated power distribution board and single-hex hardware. Purpose-built for Pixhawk flight controllers and payload testing, it offers standard 1045 props, 2216 KV920 motors, and carbon-fiber reinforced composite arms that can handle a soggy UK field landing without snapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolder-Free Assembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-threaded frame sleeves and an integrated bottom plate PDB mean you only need one hex key to build the whole rig.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReinforced V2 Drivetrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Equipped with updated 2216 KV920 motors and BLHeli_S 20A ESCs driving durable 1045 propellers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Composite Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-strength polyamide-nylon arms with central carbon fiber rods prevent mid-air flex under heavy loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePayload Ready Landing Gear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thickened 16mm\/10mm carbon fiber legs provide clearance for gimbals, mapping sensors, and up to 1.5kg payloads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePixhawk Native Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounting points designed specifically for Holybro Pixhawk 6C, Pix32 v6, and standard stack architectures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You Want It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are building an autonomous development platform, you need a high-clearance, 480mm workhorse that will not take four hours of bench time to re-arm. The S500 V2 delivers clean power routing via its built-in 60A continuous PDB, balanced battery placement, and 18-minute hover times on standard 4S packs. It is simple, rugged, and engineered for actual field testing rather than delicate shelf displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheelbase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 782g (ARF Kit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 383 x 385 x 240mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyamide-Nylon composite with carbon fiber reinforcement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotors:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2216 KV920 (V2 Update)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eESCs:\u003c\/strong\u003e BLHeli_S 20A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Distribution Board:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in (60A Continuous, 100A Burst)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropellers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1045 (V2 Update)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Payload:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500g (without battery, at 70% throttle)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHover Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~18 minutes (tested with 5000mAh 4S pack, zero extra payload)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Battery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4S 3000-5000mAh 20C+ LiPo with XT60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30062\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Development Drone Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat extra hardware is required to get flying?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will need a flight controller (such as a Pixhawk 6C or Pix32), a GPS module, a 4S 3000-5000mAh LiPo battery with XT60 connector, and an RC transmitter\/receiver setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to solder the ESCs and power lines?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the Holybro S500 V2 features an integrated PDB bottom plate with pre-wired connections designed for solderless, modular assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Holybro S500 V2 Frame with Carbon-Reinforced Arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x 2216 KV920 Motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x BLHeli_S 20A ESCs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x 1045 Propellers (CW \u0026amp; CCW Pair Sets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Integrated Power Distribution Bottom Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Carbon Fiber Landing Gear Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x Battery Straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Complete Hardware Fastener Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e#Holybro #S500V2 #DevelopmentDrone #Pixhawk #QuadcopterKit\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holybro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58505665839485,"sku":"H30062","price":174.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/9972\/5181\/files\/30062_S500_V2_ARF_Kit_1080x_84588d28-d111-4acb-b788-12478dc96f2f.jpg?v=1786119182","url":"https:\/\/www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk\/fr\/products\/holybro-s500-v2-arf-development-drone-kit","provider":"Unmanned Tech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
