How Drones Work...An Examination of Drone and RC Aircraft Systems

Video Description

In this video, I discuss all the key elements that make a drone work, from the Ground Control System, through the Flight Controller and IMU, to the ESCs and Motors. I also discuss unique elements of RC aircraft such as servos. I round it off with a discussion of inspection and maintenance recommendations.
