Engineering Are There Any Books on Selecting Components for Building a Multi-Rotor Drone?

Click For Summary
Building your first drone requires careful selection of components, and it's common to face criticism regarding compatibility. While personal experiences can shape opinions on component choices, it's essential to validate your selections based on current knowledge and regulations. Engaging with specialized forums, such as RC Groups, can provide valuable insights and community support for scratch-building multi-rotor drones. Additionally, while books on the subject can be helpful, they may quickly become outdated due to the rapid evolution of technology. Seeking resources that cover both the technical aspects and the latest regulations, especially for flying in the USA, is advisable.

I am looking for any information on how to build my first drone.

I spent 7 days gathering information, selected components I though would work together, but after that I was criticised by people who said that those components would not match.

Here is my post from reddit for example.


I described there what parts I was going to use and why I picked them.

It seems my logic behind selecting components is incomplete or simply wrong. If you know any books which may cover that topic of selecting components so they match, it will be great.

I studied physics and math, so I think I would be able to handle books with a lot of math and physics.
Thank you

Welcome, agvarelex! :cool:
Things change some fast that books quickly become outdated.
Some persons have experience with what has worked for them and what has not; therefore, they tend to have a strong opinion.
That does not mean that your ideas are necessarily incorrect.

I would recommend you exposing your ideas at this forum, where persons with similar interests enjoy discussing the topic og scratch-building multi-rotor drones:

There, you can also learn about the last regulations, if flying in USA.
 
Im currently reading mathematics for physicists by Philippe Dennery and André Krzywicki, and I’m understanding most concepts however I think it would be better for me to get a book on complex analysis or calculus to better understand it so I’m not left looking at an equation for an hour trying to figure out what it means. So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
