What the hell did I get?

This package comes without documentation and the components don't have part numbers, so I can't find a datasheet or figure out how to assemble everything. I emailed the seller 4 days ago but he didn't reply. The radios aren't 3DR as advertised - I believe they're made by YRRC, and there doesn't seem to be an owner's manual or datasheet anywhere online. I can't connect them properly. Pixhawk also throws an ahrs error. Update: Apparently my PX4 is defective. I will be returning this kit. Update 2: The sellers don't speak English and don't even know what they are selling. My second PX4 had intermittent servo outputs. I returned it and bought a Pixhawk from Mrobotics (which cost a little more). The Pixhawk was originally designed and built by 3DR, but production has since ceased to focus on software. Recommendation: If you want to try a fake and it works, that's great, you saved a lot of money (+$100) and helped maintain Chinese hegemony (it wasn't fair, I'm black like everyone else) . Revain has a good return policy. So if it doesn't work, you can keep rolling until you get a good one. When you get tired of it, buy a real one.
