Have you ever dreamed of assembling a drone with your own hands? Now you have such an opportunity. Like all writers on PaperHelps, we love to fantasize. And soon we are going to build on the drones in order to arrange a championship later. Design kit, proposed by the Dutch amateur engineer, makes almost any object fly. Do not believe me? Then see for yourself.


Jasper van Lenen assembled everything in a small suitcase to create a full-fledged drone: four motors with a speed regulator, fasteners and a housing for electronics, in particular a radio receiver, a flight control unit and a Bluetooth module. All plastic parts were printed on a 3D printer. 

Watch this video. It inspired me.

The software for the unmanned aerial vehicle was developed by OpenPilot. Source files for 3D printing and other details can be found at jaspervanloenen.com.
