Frame needs to be printed using nylon/nylon with carbon fiber only exclusions being ArmAbsorber1-4 and AntenaMount/GPSConnector. Each part of the frame that needs to be printed is separated in /cad-models/frame-3d-print. Once printed use soldering iron to heat up 4 brass threaded inserts (Frame Part #3) and insert into the 4 outer holes on ArmConnector. then heat up 4 more and place in corresponding holes on Base(repeat for 4 inner ones). align Arm1-4 with…

Fpv drone: common questions
What microcontroller does the Fpv drone use?
The Fpv drone is built around the STM32F745VGT6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Fpv drone PCB?
The Fpv drone measures 37 × 37 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Fpv drone?
106 components, from 54 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Fpv drone design files?
From the AQUA-Warrior/fpv-drone repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Fpv drone design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, which AQUA-Warrior chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Fpv drone without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
