Build Your Own Rocket Drone!*

As promised, here are the files to build your very own Rocket Drone—the same high-speed FPV beast you’ve seen on my Instagram! This little drone is an exciting DIY project designed for experienced FPV hobbyists who are comfortable with fast-flying drones. If you’re new to the hobby, I’d recommend starting with a slower build before tackling this one!

Specifications:

  • Frame Weight: 48g (Aero PLA)
  • All-Up Weight (AWU): ~240-280g
  • Battery Compatibility: Up to 650mAh 6S or 850mAh 4S (XT30 connector)
  • Max Propeller Size: 3"
    -Camera Mount: 14mm
    -FC/ESC Mounts: AIO 1"x1" only
    -Motor Mounts: M2, 12mm

Printing Recommendations:
This design is optimized for easy 3D printing with common materials:

  • Ideal Material: Aero PLA for optimized weight
  • Alternatives: Standard PLA or PETG will also work fine
  • Important: This build requires a CNC-cut carbon subframe for structural integrity. Please us the .dxf to get it cut from 4mm carbon plated. If you are Canada or US-based I can recommend CNC madness. In Europe I have worked with AHLtec.

Required Hardware:

  • 2x M2x25mm screws
  • 2x M2 threaded inserts

Recommended Setup:

  • To get the best performance, use the following components:

Motors & ESC:

  • Motors: 1408 or similar (avoid T-mount motors)
  • KV Rating: 3000-3500KV on 6S
  • Flight Controller/ESC: 40A AIO (e.g., HGLRC Specter)
  • Props: Gemfan 3051

Video System:

  • Analog: Most small VTX + 14mm nano cam
  • Walksnail: Avatar HD Nano Kit V3
  • DJI: O4 Lite compatibility not yet tested

GPS (Optional):

  • HGLRC M100 Mini (Older BN-180 style GPS also fits)
  • Tuning Recommendation: PID Tune: Set the master multiplier slider to 0.7 as a baseline

⚠️ Note: This is an advanced FPV build and not recommended for beginners. Flying a drone this fast requires some experience, but if you're up for the challenge, it’s an absolute blast!
