We also invite you to share photos of your drone builds to
our website’s gallery. We would love to see how you took the
concepts in this book and ran with them. Use the incoming-
only email address to send in pics of your multicopter
builds: userbuilds@gettingstartedwithdrones.com
Thank You!
Speaking of the online drone community, we would like to say
thank you to everyone from DIYDrones and MultiRotorForums
who has shared any tidbit of information they learned the hard
way, and was generous enough to share with us over the last
almost six years.
We must also thank a special group, our fellow
flight-obsessed
bunch who started out with us in a local Baltimore MeetUp
group. They never fail to graciously contribute their time and tal-
ents toward our endeavors. They’ve kept us laughing too
through all of the shaky takeos and hard landings.
We appreciate you: Brian Kraus, Chris Meaney, Tom Minnick, Ian
Wollcock, Beresford Davis, and Elliot Greenwald (who was our
awesome hand model)!
Finally, many warm thanks to you, the reader, who have made
the investment in time, money, and eort to challenge yourself
to get started with drones. Hope to see your builds in the gal-
lery! We wish for you many years of learning and happy flying!
