Well, my brother... This is a new year. Lol. All the of replies I kept for this kind of your post, I left them in 2017.

Thank you for your comment all the same.

In the coming months, I'm looking to acquire a drone for taking amazing landscape pictures and filming some awesome moments.

Are there any local laws stipulating how Nigerians should fly them (registration, use, etc) or are we still in 1970s technology in Nigeria?

BruncleZuma:


Good use of your time.

Big ups Op.

Thank you!

EgunMogaji:
Do you use Loctite to hold the screws from being vibrated loose?

Some of the nuts have got rubber lockers but most don't. The screws and nuts are also of fine thread so they hold quite strong.
Components that introduce vibrations are limited to the motors and and propellers. By choosing good quality ones, vibration is reduced to the barest minimum. You can still balance them when necessary

You need a reset!

ok

olusun43:
Nice one.. Can you teach me how to do it?

Sure! Let me know when you're ready

vroom:
Nice one...like how much will it cost to have this n what's the life span like?

It depends on what you want and the parts you choose. You can make really small crafts for fun or bigger ones for Aerial photography.

its cheaper to buy than build, components arent made locally. has wonderful applications.

BiggyBamBam:
How to assemble

Please make use of the dictionary this year or go back to primary school.
Thank you.

Mckandre:
OP after all these epistle kindly show us the one u finally built ursef

I have pictures here of the ones I've completed, bro

devdanArthur98:
where did you order your frame from and other items.. .which store.. ..if you could put up the link, I would appreciate it

Search on Ali-Express, bro.

devdanArthur98:

Hi bro please what store did you use In ordering the stuff...Thanks in anticipation of a reply

Ali-Express, bro

nice stuff..do you build it yourself or you have a team? where are you based?

Mechejy:
congrats! but in all these can we build or have aeroplane that is made in by us? like we have first indigenous car made by Innoson motors

It is possible. Problem with Nigeria and Africa generally is lack of initiative by governments and able private persons.
While many countries are projecting the total discontinuation of fossil fuel vehicles in as near as 2030, our government is still searching for new crude oil deposit.

The world is full of possibilities.

Impressive. I want one

YoungBlackRico:
I'm more interested in type of camera used on it...

You can use a variety of cameras but the best suited for me is 4k Actions cameras. Very light (<200g) and makes extra clear images.

Liamm:
Good day Sir. Could you give me the estimated cost of building a 250mm size quodcopter (from ordering of parts to assemblying/completion)

Happy New Year

Send me a mail please. ogocology@gmail.com

This is good... How high can it fly??

Yes, there are laws.
For commercial drone application, you need an approval from ONSA and a permit from NCAA. This is the info I got last time I checked though. Knowing how our people are, I am not sure if the same applies for private/recreational drones

[b][/b]h[quote author=RCDIY post=62317940]Hello Guys,
Its been few days now since my last update.
This is probably the worst thing about building anything RC. You have to wait for weeks to get parts and components.
I am still waiting for the frame and other part


I believe you can get most of this parts here in Nigeria, my kid bro built something similar last month, and am sure he got the parts from an online store here in Nigeria.

All right, thanks sire.

I make it myself when I'm not busy, bro

JohnGainsville:

Thank you.
The distance of flight (vertical or horizontal) is limited to the range of the transmitter. My maximum range is about 1.5km (not fully verified) but I don't fly any of my crafts out of sight.
Maybe when I start flying FPV, I may go beyond line of sight

Approval from ONSA and permits from NCAA are on paper only. I work with drones using them to carry out topographic surveys and aerial services and we wrote to NCAA to register. They couldn’t even provide any information neither did they know that they were responsible for such. So we just use the acknowledgment copy of the letters we wrote them as the permits pending when they know how they wish to license drone users. As for ONSA, you require an end user certificate. You can apply for this on their website but again that’s a long thing. Just fly your drone and keep away from airports or security installations and you’ll have no problems

Well, you didn't say what your brother built so we can't discuss beyond that.

Thank you for your interest though.

Where can I buy transmitter and receiver.

My dear, thank you a million for this info. The kind of stories those people told me when I tried, I almost cried. I kept asking them who even put the regulation in place since they don't know about it.
I will do as you did.
Please drop your email or mail me at ogocology@gmail.com
I need to discuss more with you

I think there are transmitters on konga. Not sure how good they are.
