I’m a full-time aerospace engineer who can’t stop taking on new projects in my free time. Here, I share my adventures in 3D printing, electronics, RC planes, cars, and whatever else I decide to build next!

Last week I posted this video of my 3D Printed FPV Quadcopter! What would you like to see next? Make it go faster? Make it even smaller?

New Video Tomorrow! 12pm EST I added FPV to the 3D printed quadcopter and flew it through an FPV gate. I also had a little incident and a LiPo melted most of the electronics. Should I rebuild it? Or make a smaller version other people can build?
