VRC Drone Assembly

This section guides you through the assembly of the drone kit

This section is a complete guide on how to build the Bell VRC drone. It is recommended to read this guide thoroughly and in order. At the bottom of each page, there are navigation buttons that will allow you to proceed to the next section or visit the previous one.

Our goal in this section is to get you to Checkpoint #1: Flight Test, which consists of the ability to manually pilot the drone indoors in a stabilized flight mode.

Below are photos of what your assembled kit will look like before your first flight test.
