I am new to this site and I would wish to know what materials I need, software, hardware, stores, tools, and instructions require to build a UAV. Step by step directions would be the biggest help cause I find the UAV (or drones) on the main page lacking in details.
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
We manufacture our own ZUPPA autopilots which completely designed by us from scratch and all coding is done by us .
Our unique core technology that goes into creating ZUPPA products makes it possible for “ Anybody to Fly Any type of Drone “ both fixed wing and multicopters .
Building an UAV is not as simple as it sounds, you need to have the knowledge, patience, time and be willing to learn. There's a lot that goes into building a UAV and most of the time, things are not plug and play.
You need to sit down, spend a bit of your time reading and researching.... My 1st drone was a Blade 350QX, it flew great, and it was a great platform for beginners but it had limitations.
The limitations were what drove me to learn how to build my own drone... Youtube and Google are great places for researching and learning.
I hate to sound rude, but some of the most interesting aspects of this hobby, and sites like DIYDrones, (hence the DIY name) are the experimentation and discovering solutions to unique problems, especially when building a one-of-a-kind craft.
Yes, this site is a place to share your experiences, breakthroughs, frustrations and proud pics and videos when things do come together.
People here love to help out and share when you show that you are serious and at least trying.
For the last 30 plus years I have smiled at the flying field when onlookers rush up to ask the same 3 questions invariably... "How fast/high can it go?”, How much does it cost?”, and “Where can I buy one?".
Likewise, it sounds like you are looking for an ARF type of solution for Sunday flying.
This is not that kind of site or hobby.

Way to open up a thread from 2007! We were all hand rolling our own autopilots back then ;-)
