Surveillance Drone

Abstract

A large majority of the Quad-copters were originally built by hobbyists who understood the simplicity of the vehicle. By adding four motors and four propellers to a lightweight frame constructed of light wood, carbon fiber, or fiber glass then connecting it to a remote control transmitter via a small control board fitted with a gyroscopic stabilization system and connected to a LiPo battery these craft were relatively simple to construct. Experimentation has led to the configuration of variations of the Quad-copter by using different amounts of arms we have seen Tricopters, Hex copters and Octocopters (with eight arms). Other configurations include a Vtail and an H frame variation.
