(42 reviews)

Our flagship kit — build a fully functional quadcopter from scratch! This is a PCB-frame design: the blue flight-controller board itself forms the central frame, with four arms extending out to four motors and props. It runs MultiWii firmware on an Arduino/ATmega flight controller, tuned from a PC ground station. Learn aerodynamics, motor control, PID tuning, and flight physics. Compete in drone racing and obstacle courses. The most advanced STEM kit in our lineup.

FAQ Protocol

Is the drone safe for indoor use?expand_more
We recommend outdoor flying in open spaces or large indoor halls. The drone includes prop guards for safety. Always fly under adult supervision and check local drone regulations.
How long does the battery last?expand_more
The included 3S 450mAh LiPo provides approximately 8 minutes of flight time. Additional batteries can be purchased separately. The LiPo charger is included in the kit.
What if I crash — are parts replaceable?expand_more
The kit includes 4 spare propellers. Additional replacement parts (props, motors, arms, PCB frame board) are available through our store. Crashing is part of the learning process!
