Assembling Your Drone

In Chapter 1, Things to Know Before You Build a Drone, we were introduced to all the basic components of a drone. In this chapter, we will assemble our drone and make it ready for the next phase.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

• Assembling the frame
• Connecting the motor
• Connecting the ESC
• Connecting the ArduPilot
• Configuring the drone with the ArduPilot
• Aerodynamics needed for flying a drone
• Knowing security protocols for flying a drone
• Preventing the drone from crashing

To begin the process of building the quadcopter, we first need to assemble the frame. So, let's begin with our assembling.
