will make my first drone

[ketanco]

Hi everyone and this is my first post in this forum and i am a beginner although i have been doing some reading lately...

i will make a very small multirotor that i will fly at home indoors only, as it will be my first one, i want something very small first

so how do i proceed, in other words what do I buy first? I buy a flight controller for a very small multirotor first, and according to its specifications i buy ESCs, motors and receiver etc?

or what do i buy first, motors? and then buy everything else per that?

If it is your first drone and you want something indoors, you should buy something like this

It will be much cheapper and you will not brake anything at home. that is just an example, there are plenty of models like that..

There is a group build hosted by Bartman for people that want to build there first drone.

But first thing you need to think, is for what purpose do you want it, and what feature you would like on it, so you can choose an FC and a frame. After that calculate the total weight (AWG) it will have, already with bats, to choose motors, ESCs and props. These are the first things you need to consider,

thats what i needed to know, in other words, choosing flight controller comes first and only then you shuold choose motors to fit that correct?
