Faszination Quadrokopter

The model building sector of quadcopters is extremely young. It began with commercial products for flying camera inspections at the start of the new millennium. Only with today’s microprocessor technology has this fascinating topic been made accessible for model building. This book aims to help understand the operating principles of quadcopters, the motors, sensors, and control systems used. When building a quadcopter, various manufacturers typically offer only components. The assembly and commissioning are the responsibility of the model builder. Therefore, this book also includes tips for wiring and constructing or purchasing the frame, which must be lightweight and stable enough to support the components. The chapters "Some Flight Mechanics," "Tuning the Controllers," and "Designing Motors and Propellers" contain a bit more theory.
