A fan of Star Wars, Adam Woodworth builds a FPV Speeder Bike Quadcopter Drone.
He actually acquired a Hasbro toy manufactured in 1999 from online ebay store and then started building his drone.
Woodworth gave a detailed version of the making of the drone to Make.
As per Woodworth: I ended up settling on a layout of four 7?
rotors, driven by 880kv 28mm motors.
These motors typically spin 10?
The drone weighs 475 grams and the rider now weighs about 15 gram.
The boot and the legs are tied to the drone hence it is not sucked into the rotor.
The rotors are mounted on 10 mm carbon tubes which extends from the speed bikers sides.
The overall weight that the drone can carry is 600 grams.
The same person recently also constructed a drone in the shape of a TIE Interceptor.
Amazing to see that people can actually bring an imagination to reality with the help of technology.
