Building a “Drone” is fun and easy once you get the basics down. This is the first episode in a series with the goal to build a general purpose “learner” quadcopter in the FAA registration exempt 250 gram class. This episode focuses on the many components commonly found in this type of model aircraft and breaks down how they all come together to function.
