I have built this huge custom heavylift drone from scratch, using a design from Tom Stanton.
Its main constrution is based on carbon fibre and 3D prints.
In this video I show you how I built it. The sponsor of this video is PCBWay who have sponsered the CNC cut carbon fibre plates as well as the 3D printed parts made from PETG
