FPV Racing Drone — Final Version

The final version of my 5-inch drone! Showing you the final build and some flight footage. I'm really happy with the result! 2021-11-26

Preface

About one and a half years ago, I started building my FPV racing drone. I believe it has reached a matured state, and I do not plan on making any major changes to it in the future. For this reason, I thought I would make a post to write about the final state of the project!

Final Words

Building this drone has been an amazing learning opportunity for me. When I initially started this project as my IB Personal Project, I simply wanted to build a drone that would be durable and that would have a high top speed. However, over the months, I kept upgrading it: I added an FPV system, improved the 3D-printed parts, bought a better frame for it... It also forced me to buy tools such as a higher quality soldering iron and an Action Camera, which have proven very useful in other projects.

I currently live in Ottawa, and so finding locations to fly drones isn't easy. With that said, all that matters is that it still amazes anyone I show it to!
