I just received the parts for my 5-inch racing drone! Showing you pictures of the parts themselves and of a mockup of the drone. 2020-08-30
In the previous post, I wrote about what is a Personnal Project in the IB program and showed you the parts I will use to make this drone. Don't forget to check it out!
The Parts
A few days ago, I received almost all the parts necessary to build my 5-inch drone. This includes the frame, the stack, the motors, the props, and a bunch of zip ties. Of course, a few more parts need to arrive before I can start the assembly, notably the receiver and the LiPo battery. Here are a few photos of the parts I have received:

The Mockup
Since I had received all of the main parts needed, I decided I would build a mockup of the drone. In order to do so, I layed them down one on top of each other to have an idea of what it would look like. I was surprised when I saw it for the first time: it was way larger than I thought it would be, measuring almost 30 cm in length! Here are some photos of it, the last one comparing it to my 2-inch drone:
