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

AI Thread 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 Additionally, while books on the subject can be helpful, they may quickly become outdated due to the rapid evolution of technology.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Things change some fast that books quickly become outdated.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.
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
