@Ravi The radius / range is only limited by your budget and local restrictions. Certain governments restrict the range while others require special permission. RobotShop sells equipment to transmit and receive up to 60Km.

@Vaibhav patil It’s best to create a manual test in order to determine the coefficient of friction for a specific material (not easy to do based on equations alone), though you really should try to get that information from the manufacturer.

Hi,
I chose wood for the entire drone, do you think that it is a good idea?
And how can I dimension my drone optimaly if I just want it to go up and down (no acrobaty)?

44

Nice information…I am science teacher…i want to make drone with my students…but I have no proper material and infrastructure…i see future scientists in my students…but i will try to make drone for my students…

@Ibrahim Wood is inexpensive and fairly durable. A light wood such as balsa is a great choice. In terms of overall size, the optimal size (to be able to use the most compatible products on the market) is 350 to 600mm in diameter.

Sir…your information is really use full…i need more clearly suppose making drone with step by step really its usefull more to the users plss sir pls accept my request…iam from india here we are not have such technology sites and institutes morely…pls provied information for me and users also

@ravi kumar,
Those tutorials are intentionaly made generic in order to keep them valid in time. If you want more specific product/parts you can have a look at the different Lynxmotion kits manual available. Another option would be to create a new topic on the RobotShop forum HERE.

Hi Sir, where can I attend a course on how to build a Drone.

49

@George Honestly good question - we don’t know. Some universities might have a lesson or two about building a drone as part of an engineering course.

50

Is there a Turkish translation of this page

51

@fatih You can try to use Google Translate.

  1. minimum how much propeller should be used to lift a 1 kg container . i want to make a drone with 2 propeller vertically and 2 horizontal to the frame making 45 degree so that i want drone could move forward with good thrust also i suspended on wood stick with wheel slanted at 45 degree so i can move up with the help of wall .

so plz help me tell me the materials ,but cheaper to buy…

53

@sachet You’re still at the concept stage - you’ll need to do more research. We do not offer design / consultation services.

54

its possible to ride .what you think?

55

@sachet A multirotor which a human can ride has been created (not commercialized though).

56

plz sir i don’t have maching so what are the other parts i can use in doing it sir please help me is project am working on.

57

@martin Unfortunately we cannot provide a list of more commonly available UAV parts than what is needed. If you are on a budget, consider purchasing a UAV toy, which can be around $35 USD.

58

Sir how much watt of motor would be needed for 600 grams frames

59

@■■■■■■■ The best would be to look at the eCalc software, it’s a nice tool to make those calculations.

First off let me start by saying your tutorials are great. I am a newbee to all the UAV-stuff. My son (7) and me are planning a summer project of building a drone that can water our lawn (yeah we are lazy). Now I have been reading about UAV and all the parts. It could become very expensive even before you know it. What would you suggest, on how we should go about doing this? Our initial project is to build the drone, get it to fly and water the lawn, future enhancements would be mapping the lawn and making sure it drone stays with that map (grid). Any advice would be great.
Thanks
