Fantastic book
This was my first book about drones. It is very well written and a fantastic source of information regarding drones technology and how to built them. I am a novice in this field but after I have read this book I feel I am a pro. I will suggest this book to everyone interest in understanding, building, and operating a drone.

Such a friendly illustration. What makes drones attractive is their incredible 4-propellers systems. More control means the sky is for the one who rules
