In this video I will finally get one step closer to building my own DIY drone. Because in this episode of DIY or Buy we will be having a look at drone motor test stands and obviously build a crude DIY one as well. With such a stand you can measure at what RPM/Power your motor creates what RPM with what thrust. This information is more or less crucial when making your own DIY drone. So let's get started!
