Easy Ways to Make Your Own Drone
airdrone.blogspot.com After studying some of the terms in the world aeromodelling, it is time we recognize part - part of a quadcopter. This is the main component parts required to assemble quadcopter. Component in the manufacture of quadcopter can be purchased separately at varying prices, ranging cheap affordable price with pretty good quality to very high alias expensive with excellent quality are all available. Any price depends on the budget you have, so let's start assembling its own drones. First we need to know what components are needed in assembling drones. Right now I will explain one by one these components.
Glossary components on Drone
The main components required in assembling drone quadcopter to RTF (Ready To Fly) is:
- Flight Control Board (FCB)
- Frame
- Motor, Electronic Speed Control (ESC)
- Propeller
- Batteries and Chargers
- Remote (Radio Transmitter and Receiver)
Flight Control Board (FCB)
From the information I can from an experienced person in the world aeromodeling, FCB is the main part that is very important in drones, such as the brain of the aircraft. Flight Control type with extra features and capabilities are very much once sold. A standard feature on FC usually like Gyro, GPS, accelerometer, magnetometer, and so on. The function of Gyro itself is to keep the aircraft remains in the position that we want a certain height. Not all quadcopter bring comprehensive features, such as the quadcopter JJRC H8C not equipped with GPS.

Flight Control Board
Frame
Frame is the basic framework of quadcopter.Frame important because it is where to put the other components of the quadcopter. Like a car, the frame is the Body of quadcopter. Many kinds and types of frames. Frame types adapted to the needs of which are made of wood, aluminum and carbon fiber are all there, shape also vary according to your taste, for example tricopter, quadcopter, hexacopter, even octacopter. Things to consider in the selection frame is on the number of rotor is used, the weight of the frame and shape precision.

Motor
Motor has a function to drive the propellers on the drone. Motor selection adapted to the needs. The motor is often used is the motor brusless / outrunner is a type of motor that rotates the outside. Motor usually use kV (Kilo Volt) which is directly proportional to the size of kV motor speed (rpm). Low kV value indicates a low RPM of the torque (power lifting) is low, but high-speed flight (due to the high RPM). Total bond windings on the rotor itself a big effect on the torque generated. The greater the number of its growing ties of the torque and vice-versa.That is the cause why the motor with a small size tend to have a greater value than the kV motors with a large size.

Motor
Propeller
It is the couple to the motor. At quadcopter consists of two rotating propeller will be made in a clockwise direction, and the other two rotating counter-clockwise. On propeller focusing on the size, material and shape precision, because it will affect the balance of aircraft in flight. Also there are diverse in size are usually written with format xxyy for example 1045, 1150, 1355, etc. where the value XX indicates the length and value YY Propeller Pitch Propeller show the value (in units Inch). Propeller own choosing adjusted with the motor being used.

Propeller
Batteries and Charger
The next component is to source power from the drone. Batteries commonly used type of Lithium Polymer (Lypo), and the use of the multi-rotor is usually used type of packaging softpack to minimize the burden. Things to consider in choosing the type of battery is based on cell number and capacity. It is also the type connectors, which is commonly used is a model XT60 or Deans connector plug. Total cell determines how the battery voltage. One cell LiPo is equal to 3.7 Volts, so when using LiPo 3 cell, means having a size of 11.1 Volt. Do not forget to adjust the motor and ESC to be used together. For a battery charger, a lot of choice with a variety of features, for example, there are equipped with charge several batteries at once or some are able to do balance charging. What is clear is that a good use charger with a good charging technique could make a longer battery life.

Batteries and Charger
Remote Control
Remote control is used as a Tool rides remote control, this is also an important part, despite the drone assemble properly but can not fly without the remote, right?. Remote control generally use four main channels, namely Throttle, Elevator, Aileron and Rudder. Meanwhile, when there is an additional channel can be used for other functions.
