Design and build a lightweight, manually controlled quadcopter for educational flight testing and aerial photography of authorized areas. The drone will carry only its onboard camera, flight controller, GPS module, radio receiver, and video-transmission equipment, with no external payload. The project will focus on learning drone construction, propulsion-system matching, flight-controller configuration, battery safety, radio/video-link testing, and GPS-assisted failsafe operation. The target is approximately 500 m of control and video-link capability in clear, unobstructed visual-line-of-sight conditions. Initial tests will be performed at short distances in an open, permitted area and increased gradually after verifying stable control, battery performance, and failsafe behavior. The drone will not be used for weapon delivery, unauthorized surveillance, flights behind buildings, or recording private property without permission. All operations will follow applicable Indian aviation and privacy requirements, including checking the DigitalSky airspace map before each flight.
