Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building a drone is fast becoming one of the coolest DIY projects among people all over the world. Irrespective of the level of education, age or even the economic backdrop of where a person lives, you can build your own flying machine with very little money and minimal tedium. Perhaps this is not far-fetched, given the fact that modern aviation was pioneered by what we might call dogged enthusiasts - bicycle repairers that had this grandiose ambition of getting something heavier than air to fly through the atmosphere. Apart from our natural fascination with flight as a species, we have come to inherently recognize their applicability across a wide spectrum of human activities. This ranges from it just being a geeky hobby and being used for amazing photography to industrial safety, disaster management, and even full-scale warfare. In light of the rapidly expanding horizon associated with drone development and adoption, this book looks at providing a breakdown of the procedures, materials, techniques, and precaution that can and should be followed by almost anyone irrespective of technical know-how. Eventually, an effective user of this manual should be able to build a flying prototype of a drone.
