At fossBytes, we all love drones, a lot! And you can guess that by looking at our drone coverage. We all get excited by drones and technology behind it and recently we ordered Limited-Edition ‘Code Black’ HD-Camera Drone and Snowflake Micro-Drone to test it out. We will be publishing our reviews soon. This talk is about the guy who built a Millennium Falcon drone and just made its better and bigger version.
I bet if you too are Star Wars fan, you will cry out in heavy emotions. This video is going to make your day.
The creation is the second attempt from French amateur drone enthusiast Olivier C on YouTube and brings with it a larger and more detailed chassis. Here’s the first one:
►Gears Used in making YT-1300:
- A quadcopter : Omen 410 (custom frame, carbon and aluminium)
- Motors : Quanum 2217 800kV
- Speed controllers : Afro ESC 30A
- Propellers : HQprop 9×4.5MR
- Battery: LiPo 4S-3300mAh 35C
- Flight controller : Naza + GPS
- Radio system : Futaba 14SG, receiver FrSky TFR8SB
- Camera : Gopro 4 Silver 1080p-50
- Weight of the carrier : 1180gr
- Weight of the model : 505gr
Not a big deal, you can get it from any online supplier of electronic components. Helpfully, he’s shared both the plans to build the drone itself and the Millennium Falcon frame. His next project is a TIE Fighter <3.
