How to Make a Drone / UAV - Lesson 2: The Frame

@Sav You’ll encounter one of two issues: The first being if you want the drone to carry the water - drones are normally not able to support much payload, so you will need a very large (and very dangerous) drone. The other approach would be if you want it to drag a hose - this will cause instability.

I read your Tutorial from lesson 1 till Lesson 6,sir am eager to build the drone that can carry out the Mapping what are the list of the accessories that I will. Need including the software for the processing of the images.

@Kola Mapping is unfortunately not part of this tutorial series as it is quite advanced. You might want to take a look to see if there are companies which offer mapping software and hardware and adapt that to your projet.

sir i studied your uav material , i am in india i want to got a certificate in uav so plese sir tell me uav offering certificate in online test

@b.rajasekhar We are not aware if there is any certification needed in India, or what it would require. You’ll need to do some research. In America, you need to register the drone, and if you want to do long-range flight, obtain an Amateur Radio Operator’s license.

Recently, I studied about many drones. And my friend suggested me to form a Drone. And, after reading your article I got a lots of information just how to take first step in this field… Thank you sir so much

Please tell me sir which type of frame is best- tricopter,quadcopter or else.

@Rishik Most multirotors are tending towards a quadcopter X design - it is by far the most popular because of its simplicity.

sir i would like to few new technologeis information which could create a new destination

@vaibhav We are not sure we understand your request.

Sir you said to make a quad copter. Will it able to carry 2 axis gimbal and landing gears which I am going to install ?

@Rishik We strongly suggest doing some basic calculations first given the thrust of each motor, the weight of the copter with everything added (controller, motors, ESCs, frame, battery). Your thrust to weight ratio should at least be 2:1. Therefore as an example, if your quadcopter weighs 1Kg, and your total available thrust is 3Kg (0.75Kg per motor), then you have 0.5Kg which you can add safely.

but there is no explanation of how to make frame from any material…

@Ayush Actual frame design is beyond the scope of this article.

anybody want to fly drones with me

Thank you for this tutorials. Please, I need to design a drone that can take some atmospheric parameters, e.g., Pressure, water vapour, as the drone gains altitude. Thank you.

@Akala The design of the drone is somewhat secondary - you need to decide if you want to use only the flight controller and program it to record / send back these sensor values, or if you want a separate microcontroller connected to these sensors.

Thanks for presenting very important lessons. To make a drone I believe here provided each ideas will be highly effective. I’ve enjoyed reading and looking forward to study the lesson 1 of making a UAV.

sir i need to talk to you in personal please contact me its urgent
