Assembling Your Drone

In Chapter 1, Things to Know Before You Build a Drone, we were introduced to all the basic components of a drone. In this chapter, we will assemble our drone and make it ready for the next phase.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • Assembling the frame
  • Connecting the motor
  • Connecting the ESC
  • Connecting the ArduPilot
  • Configuring the drone with the ArduPilot
  • Aerodynamics needed for flying a drone
  • Knowing security protocols for flying a drone
  • Preventing the drone from crashing

To begin the process of building the quadcopter, we first need to assemble the frame. So, let's begin with our assembling.
