IMO, a lot. Moving things are hard, and drones especially, are _very_ damn hard. One mistake and the drone goes poof! It gets frustrating after a while.
Just some pointers if you want to do this:
- you need some companion computer on your drone.
- GPS alone is not precise enough, you'll get wierd drifts from it all the time, you want something like RTK GPS to be able to keep stuff together.
- If you want your positioning to relie on vision, get a global shutter camera, a rolling shutter will make your life harder than it needs to be.
