Student designed drone ??!

Wonder what the DGCA has to say about this

He he....thats a DJI 450 frame or a clone I guess. If this was designed by the student, then DJI must have copied the design from the student 6-7 years back!! OMG!
In that case, most of the members in this forum are drone architects!! Many of us have built quads on this frame 3-4 yrs ago I believe!
Interesting part is the students might have designed the FC and motors and ESCs also?

@meet2ami,
You may recall that the Pushpak Viman was operating in India long before 1903!
Maybe it even had telemetery...
Since we invented the zero, everything else after that must have been designed here...
Or maybe not...

At least somebody acknowledges the hobby
Nice job

Sir, in our vernacular (Telugu) there is a dialogue in one of our plays written some 60 - 70 years back - I will try to put it phonetically - " Annee mana vedaallo unnayasha !!" a dialogue which refers to the innocence of her knowledge about all things modern. It means that 'All these things are already in our Vedas' ! It is now a days used as a sarcastic remark on those naive people (?) who think that there is nothing new but every thing modern in this world or beyond is already in our ancient scriptures.
CKD and Ready-to-Fly kits and all those in between are available for those who dig deep in to the pockets. Ask the Chinese manufacturers not to put any lables on it or put any lable of your choice.

My apologies to those staunch believers of our ancient wisdom    . I was not that wise....
