PROJECT: Scratch Building a FPV DRONE (Quadcopter)

I first discovered the First Person View (FPV) Racing Drones (Quads) back in 2014. The technology was just getting started and most of the quads had to be built from a frame kits and many of the parts such as motors, props, ESC’s supplied by yourself. I wanted to describe the technology changes and some of the design choices we had to consider as the drone technology mature from the infant stage.
