Hi, I’m new to drones and found this project guide: Build A DIY Pi Zero Drone - Drone Dojo. I couldn’t find all the original parts listed there, so I’ve put together an updated parts list. I’d like to know if this build will work or if I need to make changes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly, this project sounds like it’s a bit overcomplicated for a beginner. Modern drones with up-to-date electronics would likely be more practical. If you’re set on building, I’d suggest checking out Joshua Bardwell or Mads Tech on YouTube. They have great beginner guides.

I checked out that link you’re using. Honestly, it’s not the best route to take. Modern drone kits are way more efficient and user-friendly. If this is your first build, try Joshua Bardwell’s kit from GetFPV. His video series walks you through every step of the build and programming process. It’ll save you a lot of headaches.
