How To Build A Racing FPV Quad Copter (VDQ 210)

This is a 25-minute tutorial on the *build portion only* of making your own PFV (first person view) mini quad for racing—in this case, a VDQ 210 (220mm) racing frame from VooDoo Quads (voodooquads.com). (Yes, there are other steps needed to fly a quad of this caliber, including building out and testing your completed flight and video systems, and installing firmware and tuning your quad with the CleanFlight app). My hope here is to demonstrate assembling the basic components of a racing quad, and the techniques I use to do so. As stated in the video, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave them below, or on my blog , or visit me on social media: Instagram: @thedutchviking / Twitter: @thedutchvikingfpv / Facebook.com/thedutchviking.
