#NanoLongRange Build Guide - 3D Printed DIY FPV Drone

After watching Dave_C's video about the #NanoLongRange, I decided to take the plunge and build one myself. This video outlines my experience building this 3D printed DIY drone. I have also some additional articles about this project on my blog.

---
set p_pitch = 100
set i_pitch = 50
set d_pitch = 70
set f_pitch = 125
set p_roll = 90
set i_roll = 45
set d_roll = 65
set f_roll = 125
set p_yaw = 65
set i_yaw = 20
set d_yaw = 0
set f_yaw = 125
