I'm comparing two Starling 2 Max configurations and would like to understand the hardware differences before ordering:

MRB-D0012-4-V2-C28-M36-T8-K0
MRB-D0012-4-V4-C28-M36-T8-K0

• Besides the documented V2 vs V4 hardware revision changes, are there any differences in the Wi-Fi hardware between these two SKUs?
• For the M36 configuration, does either version use the external Alfa USB Wi-Fi adapter, or do both use the onboard Wi-Fi module shown in some photos?
• The Starling 2 Max product page mentions GPS performance issues and that an updated GPS is in development. Does this warning apply to both the V2 and V4 versions, or only specific hardware revisions?
• If the GPS issue affects both, is there a recommended workaround or expected timeline for the updated GPS hardware?

Photos I've seen seem to show two different Wi-Fi implementations (external Alfa USB adapter vs onboard module), so I'd like to confirm exactly what ships with each SKU.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am considering adding a small electronics payload enclosed in a 3D-printed case, with a total weight of approximately 250 g, to the Starling 2 Max.

Would this require any additional configuration, tuning, calibration, or other steps to ensure stable and safe flight? Are there any payload weight distribution or mounting considerations I should be aware of?

Thank you.
