Warning!: Always check your local law before flying a drone/quadcopter. Also make sure to not hold the drone in your hand when activated. That can end badly.

In this project I will show you how I built my own drone. This way you should get a basic understanding of what is important when designing your own and most importantly it should clear up the confusion about drone building. I personally think the drone market is flooded with tons of different hardware and software and there is not really a good guide that gives you a basic overview about everything. And that is what I am trying to do with this video. Let's get started!
