The WASP Drone (Revisited) by FibonacciBob

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This "Autodesk - Inventor" built drone is very user friendly for first time drone builders. With drone clubs becoming more and more common in many high schools, what better way to fuel the students' abilities than to provide a inexpensive drone frame to work off of. This frame is built with the user in mind, so it is very easy to assemble. This frame can even be assembled with zip-ties, utilizing the provided .2" diameter holes to anchor parts together. Not only would this drone teach the students the usual information regarding drones like aviation, soldering, wiring, Ohm's law even, but also how to use "Autocad" software to add on, and personalize this drone frame.
This drone frame is built to accommodate hardware common to the 250mm class of drones. This means the motor mounts are built with the holes being 16mm and 19mm apart, which should be enough to mount motors powerful enough to lift the drone off the ground. a "OpenPilot CC3D Flight Controller" would fit nicely in this case, paired with a modest 3,200mAh battery to fit within the bottom. The placement of the battery in this case will help to keep a low center of gravity, resulting in a steady and agile drone.
The WASP Drone frame also come equipped with open faces in the front and back. These are left open to encourage modifications, (i.e, Gopro mounts). All in all, The WASP Drone frame is perfect for first time builders, and veteran enthusiasts alike...
