Making a Drone with Lego Motors and Propellers

The motors, propellers and frame are made of Lego. Non-Lego parts are the battery, radio receiver and flight controller. After building I fly this quadcopter indoors and outdoors. Enjoy!
Drone specs:
Motors (4x): Lego L-motor [88003-1]
Propeller blades (8x): Lego Propeller 1 Blade 14L [89509]
Gearing: 1:1.67 gear-up for each rotor
Frame: Lego liftarms and other Lego parts (look at 11:41 component list)
Flight controller: Matek F411-mini
Motor driver circuit (4x): MOSFET IRLR2905 + Schottky diode 1N5819 + Resistor 12 kOhm (look at 03:57 circuit diagram)
Radio receiver: FrSky R-XSR Micro 2.4GHz
Radio transmitter: FrSky X-Lite 2.4GHz
Battery: LiPo 9s 33.3V 200 mAh (made out of nine Turnigy nano-tech 200mAh 3.7V 35-70C Pico)
Weight with battery: 410 grams
Max thrust: 470 grams
Flight time: about 2 minutes

This kind of drone would get boring quickly, barely has more thrust than it's own weight and flies for maybe 2 minutes.

[@grenzviel4480]

flying indoors is extremely hard, especially flying slowly. Aerodynamics become even more complicated when close to large flat perpendicular solid objects like walls. Not only there's no GPS for the drone to help maintain itself at a certain space, but you will find your drone always 'gravitating' toward walls. I learned it the hard way when I tried to fly my brand new drone inside my home. Needless to say, I needed new propeller blades.

Have you heard about plastic rollcages? You can mount them at the foot from the rotor and you will have a lightweight but sturdy barrier out of plastic around your rotors. These hit the wall first and have the property that they bounce and ricochet from the walls so your blades stay in one piece😊

Really cool. Not only that flying the drone WITHOUT a gyroscope and automatic is really difficult, the fact that you built it from LEGO Incl. built the electronics yourself: RESPECT! BTW... flying in such tight, closed spaces is EVEN harder because the air turbulence of the probers reflects on the walls.
