/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Been toying around with the idea of picking up a FPV drone, just something simple I can stream video through to my phone and play around with after work.

Obviously I was looking at the X5C and some extra batteries, but I wouldn't mind spending a little more to get a nicer drone, or just something I can upgrade later on. I own a 3d printer with some pretty neat filaments like carbon fiber PLA, raptor PLA that can be annealed to be very strong, and of course PETG. I could probably print a decently strong frame - and if it breaks I just print another.

I think the biggest issue is that I don't have a remote, and that's what $50-100 by itself? Maybe I should just stick with the X5C for now, do the antennae mod, maybe design and print a lighter frame and then see how I feel about the hobby first?
