Nicholas Rehm Talk on Flight Controllers

by

On November 2nd, 2022, we had the pleasure of hosting Nicholas Rehm for a presentation on UAS Flight Controllers. Nick designed his own (open source) flight controller, dRhemFlight. He uses it in his drones that he tests in his videos, showing us how much is possible in the world of vertical flight, even from our own backyard.

Check out Nick’s Github and his Youtube channel !

The talk recording is available below:
