How to Make a Drone / UAV - Lesson 1: Terminology

@nonny nonny Take a look at the following for inspiration: https://www.robotshop.com/en/firefly6-vtol-y6-multirotor-drone-frame.html It is a VTOL multirotor aircraft. It’s unlikely a battery for a torch (flashlight) can discharge at a high enough current to be used on a drone / UAV. You can place an order via www.robotshop.com (we do not operate via commission).

The issue of drone regulation focuses nearly entirely on the safety of airways in the United States; model aviators flying within five miles of an airport must ask the airport or control tower for permission to fly. To that end, the FAA created the B4UFLY app that takes the trouble out of reading sectional charts and checking up on the latest NOTAMs and TFRs.

how to make a drone

sir can you suggest some name of the books which guide me at home

i live in poor villege and i am not able to find thre required motor inmy country.so canyou please tell me how to build a drone motor

@shubham pathak You can save considerable money by building an aircraft rather than a multirotor drone. Unfortunately this series does not get into how to build a UAV aircraft, but you can check local hobby stores for inexpensive parts and ideas.

@mahesh khond At this time we do not carry any specific books about how to build a drone. We offer some general robotics books here:

Hello Sir, I want to make a drone for my college final year project… can you plzzz tell me how much it will cost for all raw materials and also plzzzz tell me the shipping charges also i m from India. Thanks

i want to make dron at my home please help me

@Shiv These is no specific list of parts if you want to make a custom drone - you’ll need to source all of the parts needed.

Can we make drone using basic parts like BO Hobby motors?

@Haren Anything is possible, but we can not cover that in a tutorial.

can you please tell me more about controlling propellers and cameras by the radio signals?

@imulus We are working on lesson 7 which involves cameras. You do not normally control propellers directly from an RC transmitter - you need a flight controller.

how much does it totally cost to make a drone?

@Manisha Menon The cost can vary a lot, but an average sized (~400mm) custom designed drone which uses commercial parts (frame, motors, ESCs, flight controller, wiring, battery, charger, remote control) can start at around $150 up to several thousand dollars depending on the features included (camera, gimbal, remote control etc)

Sir,
I want to make drone but I m confuse that which type of motor I can use

sir i want to make a drone can u please tell me from where i have to start

Can a 8th standard student can make a drone

@imulus This tutorial series provides a good understanding of where to start.
