How Drones Work...An Examination of Drone and RC Aircraft Systems

In this video, I discuss all the key elements that make a drone work, from the Ground Control System, through the Flight Controller and IMU, to the ESCs and Motors. I also discuss unique elements of RC aircraft such as servos. I round it off with a discussion of inspection and maintenance recommendations.

This video addresses all elements of the "RPAS airframes, power plants, propulsion and systems" Knowledge Area of the Canadian RPAS Basic and Advanced Pilot Exams.
