Drone Maintenance Course - Powered Lift

The Drone / RPA Powered Lift course is designed for ReOC Maintenance Controllers and Drone Designers / Repairers to give you the in-depth knowledge of building, troubleshooting and repairing powered lift drones, and how to be compliant as a Maintenance Controller.

On this course, you will build a sub 2kg tail sitter VTOL drone, capable of waypoints and carrying a camera payload.  The airframe is 3D printed, and you will receive your own set of plans and STL files for future printing as needed.  The frame plans and STL files are purchased per student from the designer.

Whether you are new to drones or as a maintenance controller, this course will give you the skills needed to troubleshoot, build, repair, program/setup, and meet compliance.  We also cover the new MOS requirements for maintenance controllers and record-keeping / operational releases.
