Building a custom octocopter from scratch with no prior hardware experience

You know you're doing a great job, OP, when the peanut gallery here has nothing more substantial to add than to critique your em-dashes; greek-latin root word mix-ups despite the common vernacular having moved on from that; and lack of title brevity.

Congratulations --- this is a super cool project. I wonder if you've considered using ultralight filaments and 3dprinting the frame? PLA is stiff but brittle, and I know Bambu and a few others sell specialised versions that supposedly weigh less than normal.

People are so jealous. This is cool as hell.

Kudos for such a great learning journey!

I do not notice that the time of posts is reversed haha. I am confused whether you had build it.

Thank you, it's cool!

Hm making an AI assisted page and replacing the emdashes with double dashes seems like more work than to just rewrite the text yourself. Not sure why you would do that.

Will follow a fellow Polish inventor! :)

If I were to get a dirt cheap Chinese drone, would that be more likely to use RL or MCP? What’s the “standard”?

Why not just say from scratch instead of no prior experience, is it to brag

Nit pick:

The name "octocopter" does not make sense. "Helicopter" is a compound word made of "helico-" and "pter", which means "screw-wings". "Octo-" means eight, "-co-" means nothing.

"Octopter" would be a correct compound word meaning "8-wings", but that would be ambiguous, so the object discussed in TFA is better named just "8-propeller drone".
