Erik Bruner 1 second ago I have been playing with electronics for many years. I thought I would watch this for hoot. Well, the young man in the video did a wonderful job of expressing the basic concepts. Kudos to you sir. Keep the shiny side up!
Coming from a 30 year EE, I really would like to commend you are your enthusiastic mentoring. Low-tech presentations take it home to the masses! Thanks to what you are doing.
Dude, im 35 have crazy adhd and love aviation. Got into drones recently and starting hunting for knowledge and Id just like to say 8 years later, youre still helping folks learn it; and for my brain the multiple examples, printed pictures etc etc was perfect for a kinesthetic learner. THANKS DUDE!!
This video is a masterpiece, and I mean it! I cannot express how important this video is to me but I have to let you know that I admire you from the bottom of my heart. Showing off advanced flying techniques is good, yet there are more people who want to get into FPV like me find hard to start understanding functions of components & basics of this hobby. Especially being that funny & humble in teaching is a real good time to me, it’ s not bored in the theories you explained! Thank you man, you have done a very good job! And you have helped a lot of people through this! Sad to see you break your arm & hope you get recovered soon!
I just want you to know that I’ve watched about 10 different “how to build a drone” videos and they all assume I know what ESC, VTX, etc stand for. This video has been more helpful than all the 30+ mins ones I’ve watched. Thanks so much!
you’re fantastic I know this video is nine years old but I haven’t seen any other video like this that did it so well I was able to follow through the whole thing
Thanks man! I just put a series up on ebike building, with a full start to finish tutorial. Similar explanation style, higher production value! In case you're interested :)
It's the end of 2019, and I found this video as relevant and as helpful as it probably was way back when it was uploaded in 2016. Loved the explanation, the sequencing, and the clarity. You, sir, have my eternal gratitude, thumbs up and subscription, in that order. Rock on.
I'm a complete noob thinking about getting his first drone. Without a doubt you just gave my a very clear and easy to understand first lesson. If you're educating people like this in 2016, you should be awesome now in 2020! THANK YOU!
This is the only video that simply explained drone layouts clear enough to where I actually learned something & now have a firm grasp on a drones basic components
Very simple, precise and right to the point drone concept explanations! Bravo!! Love your "cardboard classes lessons", you should do more like this! Thanks
Single best explanation of what is going on with drones that I have found anywhere. Too many other videos presume a degree of electrical/drone knowledge that is very offputting for newer types like myself. Oh well, thanks to vids like this the future is droneshaped!
I am a noobie, I listened to your explanation and went from "I haven't got a clue" to "now I understand this". You sir have talent, it takes talent to show people something that seems complicated and get them to understand by breaking it all down. Hell yeah make more videos ! Thanks for taking the time. Hope your hand gets better !
Dude, you are the only one on the internet that has done the most excellent job of explaining a quad copter on the internet, I appreciate the no QUAD PRO LINGO and you speaking to the beginner level on their level and I am going to watch YOUR videos from now on. Thanks again
I just wanna say out standing job sir. I have watched countless build and explanation videos and haven't bean as clear as I am now after seeing what u did here with just cardboard pictures and sharpie. Great work good job man keep it up
Thank you, someone who put thing in simple terms. My interest are drone, flying ,fixing, moderfing and building them. I am 70 years and get real annoyed as I find almost all RUclips posts are low on their advice Tahank you again.
Thank you .I searched many videos to find these basics but no one could explain as you do.You are the best.Simple and direct. Whatever you do may your career becomes successful.
Bobby Dixon I looove how you think adding "coach" might make somebody respect you more. If you are anything like any coach I have met ever, then you suck.
This is a great how to video I am 61 years old and this video has given me the confidence to build my own drone BTW how do I get to the second video I subscribed to your channel.
i hope you are still alive, i see your comment from 6 months ago nobody willing to answer. here are viseo of part two. ruclips.net/video/kQ9FvNB9sNA/видео.html i wish you great life.
I grew up oldskool RC. (Vintage RC). I built my own cars, was even sponsored here and there. I'm stunned when I think about it I haven't even touched a drone yet. Probably because I was awash with all the changes and components involved. Thank you for breaking it all down. Now, the rabbit hole of FCU's and firmware... lol. Thank you! Liked and subscribed.
Dude I have been watching lots of videos on how to build a drone and so far you are the only one that has been able to dummy it down to make it very clear. Thank you so much and keep up the good work. Keep posting
I absolutely love this video, it is so detailed and you are an amazing teacher. I’m new to your channel and I cannot wait to see the rest of the videos you’ve posted. Great job dude!! 🎉
I have started a job at a 3D printing/engineering firm, and have been tasked with designing a drone, have done nothing like that and found this tutorial very helpful.
Wow, you are gifted in explaining and instructing, I was engaged fully constantly. Your speech was clear and the speed is spot on and so are the durations of the pauses. I did not have to pause or rewind at any point. I will be learning to present like you do.
This is great, dude. I'm 44, have had a drone for a while, but it's winter and I'm bored. Regulated boards, was searching like crazy, you answered my biggest question! Now to solder up something bigger than 11.8/1500mah! Word!
I just recently got into FPV and have a few small quads. I have been wondering about building my own for quite some time and have watched many vids. Your Plain Jane tutorial just gave me the confidence to go ahead with my 1st diy! Thank you so much for your time!! Keep it up! 😎subbed!
I just became a Commander of my Quadcopter Team in ROTC and at first I knew a little about drones, now I feel confident that I will be able to help my team. Thanks my guy!
Hey! I know I’m 5 years late but what a video!! 🔥 you just killed it. The way you explained about the components was just fabulous. I’m so impressed. Keep it up bro 👍
just starting out, this is very basic, kind of crude BUT it is all I need to understand the core concepts of WTF the quad needs to run. Awesome video. Thank you.
OMG your heaven sent, your explaining it in easy terms! Subscribed! Thank you young man! All these other drone channels are teaching me in the hardest way possible. Let me get lammans terms please! Thank you!
Dude, this was awesome. I knew a drone was simple but you just did a "Drones for Dummies" video and showed all the basics, loved it! looking forward to the next vid
Gotta say, you sure make it seam realistic. Mr. Steel just makes me want to skip even trying a bnf, but just jump straight to rtf. You inspire the confidence to try at least.
This video is incredible! I’m working for drone supply chain project for graduate school and I’ve been forwarding this to all my team members who aren’t familiar with how drones work. Amazing job!
This is fun and super helpful, From no idea -> I know the basics now. Loved the way to explained it with all the cardboard, printouts and cellotapes .. My greater take with this video is: How to explain things to noobies in a very fun way.
You know! There are many other smart/smarter electronic nurds, and many other smart/smarter teaching talented people. But you have both! Your power is your talent in "efficiently" delivering knowledge. Keep work on that.
we should donate $ for his time to this professional drone professor lol in 1 video i am learning 100miles/hour what to do with each part. This is a basic setup of course and more sophistaced setups exists. Thank you for your time and video. Cheers!
Great work young brother... I am currently undertaking an A2 CofC Course (Drone Pilot Licensing) And, as a fresher, I find you 'Lessons' easily understandable and beneficial to my current studies. Many many thanks and keep up with your fascinating presentations.
maaaan I really appreciate your work, that's the exact explanation i was looking for. you deserve a big like and subscription. all the best my friend . thanks
Only seen this now but I wish this kid taught me through my school years maybe I would have enjoyed & learned more in my lessons hahaha. You sir need a medal
You good sir are fucking awesome
Thanks dude!
Yeah he pretty much said it MB, bitchin information, well done, thx!
You are the BEST ! ! ! Very detailed, especially on compatibility issues and definitions ! BadAZZ Professor, yeahhh.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!! I really appreciate it!!!! I know I'm late to respond but I'm glad people appreciate what I made

I am 39 years old, and that young dude there is teaching me like a champ!
damn im 14 lol
Knowledge is an equal opportunity instructor.
i am 36, and i will pu together my first drone :D
Yeap!! I will make my own drone.. next project.... damn... I am 48
Holy crap, we're a bunch of old dudes having a really good lesson about drones. Knowledge comes from everywhere. Stay sharp and never close your eyes.
This video is 6 years old and is still the single best video on RUclips related to beginner quad building. Awesome job man.
8 yrs old and still relevant
Coming from a 30 year EE, I really would like to commend you are your enthusiastic mentoring. Low-tech presentations take it home to the masses! Thanks to what you are doing.
Real teaching. Honestly I hope he becomes a professor.
As your spiritual successor, I hope to see this lad surpass my research in autonomous aerial robotics.

+Michael Strack No prob! That was the idea :) get the basics in ASAP and you can get yourself flying in no time :)

Why the hell am i getting this video after 4 years??? Your teaching is freakin awesome and crystal clear, great potential.
Excellent simple explanation for someone like me who has no idea
yup same

Dude thankyou so much i have been looking for a video just like this for three days now because im trying to get into fpv drones
I'm 65 and this video was one of the easiest to understand from this young guy. Top job. You will certainly go places.
You explained the concept step by step and easy to follow. Thank you.
No prob!
This is the only video on the World Wide Web that explains how a drone works in a way that i can understand. Thank you! Finally!!!
+Takle Glad you like it!
Thanks, very informative! I like your editing and humor.

Thanks for watching! Glad to have helped you finally understand drones.
7 years later, you're still helping us newbs out here bro
nice work kid. really like your teaching style. this is coming from a teacher and coach...
Thanks Bobby! That means a lot! 👍👍👍
Bobby Dixon I need the schematic diagram.
Benjamineudeh@gmail.com
Bobby Dixon I looove how you think adding "coach" might make somebody respect you more. If you are anything like any coach I have met ever, then you suck.
This video is part of the most important pilgrimage in beginner drone building. Thanks for contributing this!
Glad it was helpful!
THE POWER DISCIUBISCIONBOARD:. :D thank you, awsome video!!
The same here as I was confused by the dish-tribution board first :)
Young man you did an excellent job teaching this old guy the basics of drone function and building. I understand completely how they work now.
This is a great how to video I am 61 years old and this video has given me the confidence to build my own drone BTW how do I get to the second video I subscribed to your channel.
i hope you are still alive, i see your comment from 6 months ago nobody willing to answer.
here are viseo of part two.

He ded
I grew up oldskool RC. (Vintage RC). I built my own cars, was even sponsored here and there. I'm stunned when I think about it I haven't even touched a drone yet. Probably because I was awash with all the changes and components involved. Thank you for breaking it all down. Now, the rabbit hole of FCU's and firmware... lol. Thank you! Liked and subscribed.
nice explanation..dude
Thanks!!!!!!
This is the best video I've watched so far about breaking everything down.
Good job
great video dude!! great help for anyone to start building!! keep up the good work!!
Thank you!
Dude I have been watching lots of videos on how to build a drone and so far you are the only one that has been able to dummy it down to make it very clear.
Thank you so much and keep up the good work.
Keep posting
Simplest,perfect explanation.Thanks
You're welcome!
I am an Electrical Engineer at Purdue and I just want to say that you do an excellent job at giving the basics of this. Hat's off to you sir
instructions not clear, accidentally created a sentient robot who eats hand lotion
Graeme Baxter 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤯🤔🥴
7 years later, getting interested in the thing, you made it really simple for me to understand.
Awesome. Thanks!
Np!
I absolutely love this video, it is so detailed and you are an amazing teacher. I’m new to your channel and I cannot wait to see the rest of the videos you’ve posted. Great job dude!! 🎉
You should become a university teacher!
Its quite possible he is. Maybe he invented a youth regenerating processor?
I have started a job at a 3D printing/engineering firm, and have been tasked with designing a drone, have done nothing like that and found this tutorial very helpful.
Wow, you are gifted in explaining and instructing, I was engaged fully constantly. Your speech was clear and the speed is spot on and so are the durations of the pauses. I did not have to pause or rewind at any point. I will be learning to present like you do.
This is great, dude. I'm 44, have had a drone for a while, but it's winter and I'm bored. Regulated boards, was searching like crazy, you answered my biggest question! Now to solder up something bigger than 11.8/1500mah! Word!
Great job man! I am 36 and just starting out. Super easy to understand and wrapped it all up nicely! Keep it up!
The skills you demonstrate in this video will serve you well in life. Don't lose that spirit!
After scrolling through 100s of video , now i got finnaly the best explanation. Thanks .
Damn man, there's so many new build videos but it wasn't as detail as your. This video is far better than the new ones out there. Great job man!
this video helped me as a uni student learning abt drones sm.
In 2021 I watch this video.. even without proper tools and just record in your room, you have deliver this very well.. nice job 👍
That was way much better to understand the actual concept with all the components working, uses, pros and cons. Subscribed.
Phenomenal, first video I found which was explained why rather than what to do. I'd say it's good enough to be a college lecture.
The way you explained it, is simple and genius. Even a money could build a drone after watching your video! Keep up the good work mate, cheers!
Out of all of the fpv videos I've watched this is the only video that had everything I needed to know. Thank you.
Your video is the best explanation video I have seen for the absolute beginner, thank you
Wow, this young fellow has a brain like a professor, he is really explaining with such a manner, that almost anyone could learn. Bravo!
I just recently got into FPV and have a few small quads. I have been wondering about building my own for quite some time and have watched many vids. Your Plain Jane tutorial just gave me the confidence to go ahead with my 1st diy! Thank you so much for your time!! Keep it up! 😎subbed!
Low quality with card board backing but much better explained than most youtubers with a big budget could do great vid keep up the good work
I just became a Commander of my Quadcopter Team in ROTC and at first I knew a little about drones, now I feel confident that I will be able to help my team.
Thanks my guy!
Hey! I know I’m 5 years late but what a video!! 🔥 you just killed it. The way you explained about the components was just fabulous. I’m so impressed. Keep it up bro 👍
just starting out, this is very basic, kind of crude BUT it is all I need to understand the core concepts of WTF the quad needs to run. Awesome video. Thank you.
One of the best explanations for anything so far
Dude well done video. Simple and too the point. Still helping people even 6 years after you made it
Awesome, you are like a university lecturer. A simple explanation that make me understand what Drone all about.
OMG your heaven sent, your explaining it in easy terms! Subscribed! Thank you young man! All these other drone channels are teaching me in the hardest way possible. Let me get lammans terms please! Thank you!

This is fun and super helpful, From no idea -> I know the basics now. Loved the way to explained it with all the cardboard, printouts and cellotapes ..
My greater take with this video is: How to explain things to noobies in a very fun way.
please make a part two to this video. it was great information and i have watched it many times to clear the concepts in my head. thank you
I really liked the way you explained on the board. The basics that none of the celebrated drone reviewers covered yet. Subscribed!
Excellent ! You explain better than most proclaimed Experts !
You know! There are many other smart/smarter electronic nurds, and many other smart/smarter teaching talented people. But you have both! Your power is your talent in "efficiently" delivering knowledge. Keep work on that.
And I'm sorry that i am limited to 1 thumb up!
Damn man your explanation style is awesome
Thanks yo! Just put a series out on eBikes from start to finish.
Thanks for the video Riley. I did not know anything about how drones were constructed. I understand the basics now, so thanks. Great video!
Great video! You explained in 14 minutes what most people would take hours. Thank you.
Your explanation and conversation with the comment is very wonderful👍👍 continue
The best explanation ever seen among professionals, thanks
You did an awesome job simplifying a complex topic into something a novice could understand. Bravo!
I've watched a bunch of these, and this was the clearest explanation I have seen yet. Well done! And thank you for the lesson.
You really really are a good teacher buddy. Can't go watch part 2 without appreciating.
pls more like this. this is awesome so far.
I watched tons of videos about DIY drones and this is the best one by far. Excellent job sir!
hey man, as a complete beginner watching this vid, it was really fun and I learned a lot of this, thank you so much
this was so so helpful and super easy to follow. im so excited to start building
we should donate $ for his time to this professional drone professor lol in 1 video i am learning 100miles/hour what to do with each part. This is a basic setup of course and more sophistaced setups exists. Thank you for your time and video. Cheers!
Great work young brother... I am currently undertaking an A2 CofC Course (Drone Pilot Licensing)
And, as a fresher, I find you 'Lessons' easily understandable and beneficial to my current studies.
Many many thanks and keep up with your fascinating presentations.
I decided to do something like this for my senior project, you are a wonderful help in my research!
+connor jackson No prob dude, let me know if I can be of any help!
maaaan I really appreciate your work, that's the exact explanation i was looking for. you deserve a big like and subscription. all the best my friend . thanks

You are amazing instructor! Great video!
This is by far the best video bro
