Build¶

Start here if you want to build a libdrone from scratch. Two builds, fully documented — pick the one that matches what you're actually trying to do.

Cinematic¶

6-inch, ArduPilot, HDZero, GoPro Mission 1 Pro payload. Non-acro — built for nature, skatepark, and family video, not racing. Flown manually like Betaflight, with GPS-guided planning wired in and available whenever you actually want it.

Full build guide → — this is the single source of truth for this build: mechanical assembly, electronics, firmware flashing, radio and video setup, checks, and first flight, all in one place, with links out to deeper reference material where it exists.

Agile¶

3-inch, Betaflight, HDZero, printable frame. The play and practice platform — cheap to crash, fast to build, where you actually learn to fly.

Full build guide → — same structure: print and assemble, wire it, configure Betaflight, bind the radio, and fly.

Why only these two¶

This isn't a product line with a chart of options — it's a build log. What's documented here is what's actually been built and flown. More builds get added as they happen, not announced ahead of having something real to show.

Something wrong, or missing?¶

These guides are living documents, not finished products — if a step is unclear, a link is dead, or something just doesn't match what's in front of you, that's worth flagging. See the contributing guide.
