Hey! Great work on this drone but can you split your journal into shorter entries of max 4-5 hours each? Right now there isnt much detail to justify the high hour count.

Hi, it appears you didn't follow the previous review. According to your cart screenshot, you appear to have designed a PCB, but I cannot see any PCB in your README - please upload images of your PCB and your source files in a PCB folder! Thanks! :)

i change my dron from FPV to ,,Cinematic'' and i make GPS
i change my drone concept. it dont have ultra strong engine to fly over 80mph so i change from fpv to cinematic like dji to this we need GPS. Sorry for dont pick cheap gps modem but i dont wanna lossing singal every 5 minuts.
This Controler have
MCU
Anten panel
rest of electric in one 15x15mm part i only need add conections and some resiotors , capacitors
in jlpcb i pick PCBA becus its small parts : 805 . and i with my solder iron im not be able to sold this

hey there! this is an awesome first start for a drone and I love the theme behind it. That being said, your project currently isn't shipped - the info is organized in a really strange way and it's hard to navigate through. You also didn't design any of the electronics, so we can't really justify giving you $200 for off-the-shelf parts.
keep working at it and ask for advice in #blueprint if you need help!

after finishing the frame I made a tutorial on how to solder the flight controller and the Voltage Controler EAC. It took an hour, though it looks like I did it in 10 minutes. Then I spent one more hour making a second version of the frame for people who don't want the honeycomb style." and this take me next hour

After those 12 hours, when I finally had everything ready, I found out on Slack that I had to do something self I didnt have the time to build a flight controller from scratch, so I decided to design the frame instead. I didnt have time to mess with footprints, especially since I was leaving for the holidays in two days, so I spent another 16 hours designing frame Seriously, it’s the last time when Im designing a frame aaaaa!

I spent the next 12 hours over two days hunting for parts. It was a total pain in the ass because of the huge selection and the fact that I had to stay under a $200 budget. Of course, I had to watch some reviews to make sure I wasn't buying absolute junk, but that took maybe an hour max

Start
first 5h
I spent the first few hours maybe 3.5
hours trying to decide
what kind of drone I wanted to build, a micro quad, a 3.5 inch or a 5 inch, but in the end I chose the 5 inch, which is big enough to carry a GoPro but small enough not to take up much space.

You need a BOM, journal entries, a detailed readme with images screenshots validations, and need ot upload all hardware files you used.
