custom

I am a complete beginner, learning how to make custom drones with the Raspberry Pi. After doing some research online, I found the Pixhawk to be probably the most beginner-friendly, budget-friendly, and documented flight controller I can integrate with the Raspberry Pi. Then I came across these...

Hello, I'm sorta new to the drone building world and I'm fairly confident that with enough research and learning, I'd be able to build my custom quadcopter. I wanted to look into this "is it possible" question before I get really invested though. For this build, I want to make my own remote...

Hi, I'd like to build a 6S2P Li-Ion battery pack using 18650 cells but since I don't have a spot welder and solder nickel strips using a soldering iron would damage the cells I was thinking about 2 other solutions: 1 ) buy cells with presoldered nichel strips and solder them toghether using a...

I was actually trying to make a quad within 10-20$ I plan to buy the following parts- 1) Syma X5C Motors - 4$ 2) Propeller - 2$ 3) Lipo Battery - 3.5$ 4) Eachine E010 receiver board - 5$ 5) Eachine E011C transmitter - 5$ Is there anything else I'll be needing?? Will these stuff be enough...

Good day everyone. I am just curious about the feasibility of using a quad copter in an ultra-efficient RC aircraft for maximum flight time. If quads use 4 motors, the motors would be placed along the "plane's"s wings. 1 2 3 4 /\front 1 3 4 2 (plane front view) I have...

The last couple of months a was working on a new frame design! I wanted to make a very light and yet strong frame. The whole frame was made out of 4 mm carbon fiber and weights only 90 grams. Watch this video to see the frame come to life.

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I've been planning on building my own drone for a while. I've designed and constructed the framework using 3D printing and aluminium tubing. The main issue is, I don't know which motors and blades to use. The length of each arm is 250mm and the total body weight...

I have been flying drones for years but I wanted to start building some. I have some very specific criteria for what my drone MUST be able to do: 1)40-50min flight time 2)lift 2lbs 3)1 mile range The would be nice list: 4) low cost 5) easily portable 6) return to home 7) sturdy 8)camera is...

Im fairly new to the multirotor scene but Ive been through the stages of buying more advanced models and found myself at the Eachine 250 with the Full FPV package. This quad was beyond my expectations and really fun to fly (especially after the tune,) but most importantly it opened up my eyes to...

i am looking to see if anyone likes the idea of a custom made quadcopter frame. built using a high tech 3d printer as seen in this link: http://www.3dsystems.com/3d-printers/production/prox-950
