Build a Drone: A Step-by-Step Guide by Barry Davies - Skyhorse Publishing
Drones have gone from sci-fi fantasy to front-page news in what feels like no time at all. Whether it's for snapping aerial selfies or, you know, more serious stuff like military ops, these flying gadgets are everywhere now. And guess what? Everyone's got an opinion on them—some are building them in their garages, while others are just trying to figure out how they work.
Build a Drone isn't just another manual; it's your backstage pass to the drone world. You'll learn how to piece together your own drone (yes, from scratch), dive into their military roots, and see how they're reshaping our daily lives—sometimes in ways you wouldn't expect. Here's a sneak peek at what's inside:
- First up: the big decision—buying a ready-made drone or rolling up your sleeves to build one?
- Then, we'll get you up to speed with the must-know skills for any aspiring drone architect.
- Assembly time! It's like adult LEGO, but with more propellers.
- Before you take off, there's the all-important setup and calibration (no one likes a wobbly drone).
- Safety first—because crashing into your neighbor's prize roses is a no-go.
- And for the creatives, designing your own drone from the ground up.
- Plus, a bunch of other cool stuff we're not spoiling here.
Barry Davies, the brains behind this book, isn't just talking out of his hat. He's built drones for the big leagues—DARPA and AAI—and even whipped up six experimental ones for MIT. So, when it comes to drones, Barry's not just in the know; he's the guy who wrote the book on it (literally).
