    I made a 3D printed drone that is as easy to fly as an RC car is to drive using a combination of standard miniquad drone parts and an RC car controller. But it wasn’t quite as easy as just slapping a pusher motor on a quadcopter and calling it a day-there were many engineering challenges to address to make it so intuitive to drive around.

    A racing drone is difficult to fly because the pilot is in control of every directional and rotational axis of motion all at once. By adding a lidar altitude sensor and some altitude hold code so the drone maintains altitude automatically, we constrain the problem to just 2 dimensions. By taking the steering input and intelligently mixing it to the roll and yaw output, we can get smooth, coordinated turns with just one input from the pilot. Finally, it's just a matter of mapping the throttle input to a pusher motor and you get an incredibly fun flying RC drift car.

    This is great, loved your video. Saw this concept a few years back in the RC world when Kyosho released the Drone Racer but they didn't do a good job of marketing it and it never became popular. What I like about your version is the fact that the components are readily available and you can upgrade/update and add your own improvements to it as new stuff comes out. Great job man, keep up the good work.

    This reminds me of an rc hovercraft I once had. It “drifted” in a very similar fashion and was a lot of fun to drive. One downside was that it really only functioned well on smooth surfaces like a basketball court or the kitchen floor.
    This drift plane would be much more resilient to different terrains. Very cool idea, I think I just might have to build one

    I have no particular interest in RC hobbies, but have thoroughly enjoyed the engineering and appreciate the incredibly detailed documentation and work that you’ve put into this.

      I originally built it for my spinning drone project. It’s a 2x4 base with a carbon tube out the top and a ball joint so I can’t mount things to it and have them freely rotate
