5" FPV Drone
Mechanical Assembly · Electrical Integration · Troubleshooting
A complete physical system, built solo
I designed and assembled a 5-inch FPV drone, integrating the frame, motors, flight controller, ESC, ELRS receiver, battery, power system, and propellers — then configured and troubleshot the electrical and flight-control systems to achieve successful flight.
Full case study in progress. The detailed write-up and build photography for this project are being prepared. The sections below outline what the finished page will cover.
