Making a Drone with Lego Motors and Propellers

Follow
Brick Experiment Channel

The motors, propellers and frame are made of Lego. NonLego parts are the battery, radio receiver and flight controller. After building I fly this quadcopter indoors and outdoors. Enjoy!

Drone specs:
Motors (4x): Lego Lmotor [880031]
Propeller blades (8x): Lego Propeller 1 Blade 14L [89509]
Gearing: 1:1.67 gearup for each rotor
Frame: Lego liftarms and other Lego parts (look at 11:41 component list)
Flight controller: Matek F411mini
Motor driver circuit (4x): MOSFET IRLR2905 + Schottky diode 1N5819 + Resistor 12 kOhm (look at 03:57 circuit diagram)
Radio receiver: FrSky RXSR Micro 2.4GHz
Radio transmitter: FrSky XLite 2.4GHz
Battery: LiPo 9s 33.3V 200 mAh (made out of nine Turnigy nanotech 200mAh 3.7V 3570C Pico)
Weight with battery: 410 grams
Max thrust: 470 grams
Flight time: about 2 minutes
