Quadcopter Build

A quadcopter I built from the ground up by sourcing every part online and assembling it by hand. The real work was the research: I spent weeks comparing motors, propellers, the flight controller, the frame and the battery to make sure they would all work well together and add up to a strong, stable drone rather than a mismatched one.

Highlights

  • Researched and hand-picked every component so the motors, electronics, frame and battery matched and worked together.
  • Weighed thrust, weight and durability across parts to land on a strong, stable build.
  • Sourced everything online and assembled and wired the drone myself.
