How does a drone work2:36
Discover how a quadcopter drone flies using a four-motor x configuration, a flight controller, and speed adjustments that tilt to move forward, backward, left, or right, reducing drag.
What parts are needed to build this drone?4:53
Explore the essential drone components: transmitter, receiver, flight controller, and electronic speed controllers, and learn how signals travel from transmitter to motors through a power distribution board.
Parts Link

Part 1: Building the Drone5:26
Mount the drone's motors to the frame arms in correct clockwise and counterclockwise configuration, solder wires to the power distribution board, and secure arms for a ready-to-build frame.
Part 2: Building the Drone5:10
Mount the drone frame and flight controller, solder battery connections, and attach motors and receiver, then secure components with hot glue and Velcro to ensure stability before calibration.
Part 3: Building the Drone4:27
Bind the transmitter to the drone’s receiver, select helicopter mode, and wire four motors to the flight controller by channel order to prep for the next calibration.
Part 4: Building the Drone5:05
Calibrate the escs and throttle range, configure the flight controller as a quadcopter using xml, calibrate gyros, set channel reversals and soft level, then balance and install propellers.

Test Flight4:03
Conduct a test flight to evaluate drone stability and practice reporting during flight, applying the insights to validate performance during drone-building processes.
Trouble Shooting Common Problems
BONUS: adding an FPV Camera with a homemade tilt gimbal0:40
Learn to add an FPV camera to your drone with a homemade tilt gimbal. Apply practical, hands-on steps to your drone-building projects.

Requirements
