End of the course.
A step-by-step video guide to understanding and building your very own drone. The course will take someone who has little to no prior experience with radio controlled model flying to someone that fully understands all the basic concepts by building a drone from scratch.
You should take this course if you want to fast track your understanding of the field instead of tirelessly reading countless forums to get a basic understanding of the hobby.
In the course we’ll build a super-fast racing quadcopter which can be built on a budget. The concepts talked about can be applied to any type of multi-rotors, even the ones used to carry expensive video equipment by filming crews!
Course is structured in a way that it fully explains the theory and demonstrates the build in a very easy to understand manner.
How long the course takes to complete depends on how much time you allocate to it and how much experience you have with similar projects.
