Quadcopters

My First Quadcopter

In these posts I describe all I learned from building and flying my first Quadcopter.

• Quadcopter 1: Parts
• Quadcopter 1: Assembly
• Quadcopter 1: Preparing to fly
• Quadcopter 1: – Flying

It took me some time to get the hang of flying a Quadcopter and I broke many pieces. So I figured some ways to save money and fix stuff.

• An expensive evening
• Fixing a broken HJ-450 arm
• Repairing cracked propellors

My first Quadcopter is still alive and well although I don’t fly it so often now. Since I built it I’ve been experimenting with other cheap flight controllers and components as described in the following posts.

• Flying by cellular – Project Plan
• HC-05 Setup
• HobbyKing AIO – GPS and Bluetooth
