Hello all! I'm a noob to the makerspace as a whole (outside of 1 strongly-scaffolded uni assignment, I've never built a mechatronic thing). In spite of this, I've got it through my head that I'd like to build a quadcopter, and what's more, I'd like to implement my own flight control loop...

Thanks for the opportunity to ask some questions. I was given a DJI F450 Flame Wheel frame with motors and speed controllers as a gift. I then purchased a FrSky Taranis X7 radio. I'm really overwhelmed by the number of choices when it comes to receivers and flight controllers. I'm very new to...

Hello! Completely new to drones/quads – never used one or anything similar. I am looking to get started with something relatively inexpensive at first. Primarily just want to use it for taking photos when I'm enjoying the outdoors. I already have a GoPro Hero 3+ and would ideally like to be...

I am starting to see the Wingland M5 being advertised/sold within the UK/Europe. Looks like a interesting drone. Does anyone know anything about it? Specifically: * What is the build quality like? * Does it have an HD or 4K camera (multiple Wingsland sites seem to contradict themselves)...

Hi, I'm looking to make my first quadcopter but I'm new to the subject. I want to make a quadcopter that will be used primarily indoors and will be built for control rather than speed. So simple acrobatics and hovering are the primary goals for it. Could you suggest a type of propeller that...

I've got a question about closing a motor and propeller. The propellers I chose are 8"x5.5, and I'm wondering if the RCX RS2206(v3) would work on with these props. I'm also going with a 210 mm frame and what to know if I'll have enough torque and thrust. Not fully decided on other parts yet...

So I have a project in mind and I was hoping you would be able to reach into your infinite wisdom and share a bit of it with me. Consider me something of a noob when it comes to drones. I will gladly look things up, but I need a starting point. I'd like to buy a drone that fits these features...

Hello all! After several weeks of research, YouTube watching, review reading and forum scouring I finally decided to buy my first quadcopter. A Syma X5C-1. I received it in the mail 2 days ago, charged the battery and started flying (crashing). Unfortunately my extra batteries didn't arrive the...

I bought syma x5c yesterday. Then I realized headless mode is necessary until you get better. Today I felt that I'm pretty good at controlling quadcopter so I want a little high not so much maybe 15 meters high and 20 meters away from me. But getting it back to me was hard and it got stuck on...

Hi, I was rather surprised to be given a Phantom 2 as a birthday present. It appears to have been remarkably expensive. While grateful, I really don't want to spend another £500 on a camera and support / gimbal system to make up what I think is called a fpv. I've seen youtube footage of a small...
