No use for a drone

[ShitCracker]

Hey guys. So a few days I got a free drone from a friend it was an unsuccessful project. The idea of this project was to create a drone that would deliver packages. A lot of money was put into this thing. So the drone contains four KDA direct 4215XF motors with carbon fiber blades and adapters, it has four KDE UAS35 speed controllers, an Nvidia Jetson Xavier nx computer, ubox zed f9p GPS module, and a bunch of other things I'll post some photos. It makes me sad to see it sitting in the corner of my room. So I wanted to ask if had any value. If I could sell it or use the parts to create something.

Why didn't it work?

Yeah,t he whole delivering packages thing was kind of a pie in the sky fantasy.

When you start flusing otu the idea from the perspective of starting a business delivering a package, you raalize, it's completely unfeasible. There would bneed to be an infrastructure of landing pads on everyone's front yard. Battery life would have to be several orders of magnitude better. You're going to need a team to recover downed quads. You'll still need someone to put the package ont eh quads and charge the batteries. What about dogs and children running up to yoru 4 blades spinning death when it lands blind via automated program. It just doesn't scale.

How large is it? Arm length? prop length?
If its absolutely huge, like beast class or Xclass, I might be interested in it vaguely If only because I don't have one int hat size range yet.
The trend though is to going to smaller and smaller quads. less battery, smaller parts, cheaper parts, less damage on impact tot he quad and people.
