Build Your Own Drone Manual provides practical advice and step-by-step procedures to enable the reader to build a basic, affordable, DIY drone. Suggested designs for two drones will included - both fixed wing and multiple-rotary wing. Review: Very happy with this book - I wanted to try building some drones but felt I don't know enough about all the options. This book provides excellent information on a few types of drones and answers all the questions a beginner might normally have. There are descriptions of numerous parts and there are detailed instructions on assembly of a few types of drones. It's very well written, well organized and easy to follow. It compares different options very well so you know what you need to achieve what you want. Review: Great buy, worth the investment - Fantastic book. This was the second book I received that covers building drones. My first book I thought was great, this book is far better getting into more details about all of the necessary hardware and software. This book also details how to build a drone for photography, mini drone, and a fixed wing drone. This book describes how to use different different specs of the multiple options for drone use. I highly recommend this book for anyone that is interested in learning the anatomy of drones, and how to implement different options. I have built my own drone prior to receiving this book and it provided a different (valuable) perspective, as well as clarified questions I developed about components that I wasn't completely familiar with.

It's okay!
It's okay in typical Haynes manual style. However, it lacks detail, photography not particularly good or sharp in areas and certainly lacks detail in relation to commercial drones. Good for the amateur and the drone racer.

Great book
Very well organized. Plenty of photos to display the process. A great book to understand the fundamentals of drone design.
