This DM002 mini DIY drone kit is an affordable way to build your own working quadcopter, with no advanced mechanical skills or soldering needed. The listing says it is a chance to learn how the parts of a drone fit together in a fun way.
Once built, the drone is quick, nimble and useful for indoor and outdoor flying. A 6-axis gyro gives stable flying, one-key return helps it find its way home and bright colourful LEDs make it visible at night.
It has three speed modes for gradual progress, 360-degree flips at the press of a button, a manual and the tools needed for assembly.
Easy assembly: no soldering expertise required; manual and tools included.
6-axis gyro: stable, easy flying.
One-key return: helps the drone find its way home.
Bright LED lights: colourful lights for night flying.
Three speed modes: slow, medium and high.
360 degree flips: with a single button.
Indoor and outdoor use: compact and nimble once built.
A micro quadcopter is a very small multirotor: four motors, a flight board that combines a receiver, a gyro and motor drivers, and a small lithium battery. The gyro senses when the drone tilts and the board speeds up or slows down individual motors to keep it level, which is why even a very small model can hover. Features such as altitude hold, headless mode and one-key return add sensors and software to make the aircraft easier to fly.
Before your first flight, charge the battery fully with the supplied USB lead, bind the transmitter to the drone if required and place the drone on a level surface for the gyro to initialise. Start in an open, indoor space with no fans or people close by, and take off gently. Small motors and batteries can get warm, so let them cool between flights.
Small drones are easily damaged by crashes, so practise slowly and keep spare propellers. Always remove the battery before you change propellers, keep small parts away from young children and follow local rules about where you may fly.
Assembly kits are a great way to learn how a drone works: you can see the motors, the flight board, the battery and the frame, and you learn how each part connects. Work on a clean table, use the correct screwdriver, check the direction of each motor and propeller before you fly and never charge a lithium battery unattended.
