Book Synopsis
Whether you plan on using drones for recreation or a more serious purpose (from search and rescue through farming to scanning construction work on a high-rise apartment buildings), Build a Drone will make sure that you not only understand how to construct a drone, but the proper and safe ways to maintain and handle them. Within the last couple of years, the usage of drones in both the public and private (military) sector has exploded. People are talking about drones, building drones, and something most people didn't know of a few years ago is now a household name. Build a Drone will not only teach you how to build your very own drone, but will explain their history in the military and the impact they will have--and are starting to have--on our everyday lives. Chapters include:- Ready Made or Build
- Skills and Understanding the Drone Build
- Drone Assembly
- Setup and Calibration
- Safety and Flying Your Drone
- Designing Your Own Drone
- And more!
