Summary
In this chapter, we have learned how we can construct a racing drone and connect the first person view camera using our existing ArduPilot. The process might look a bit complicated, but when you see the real-time video from your drone with the CMOS camera to your screen, all your hard work will pay off. We also learned a simple ESP8266 tweak to make the drone avoid any obstacles and see the data from a mobile application.
In Chapter 9, Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your Drone, we will learn a number of things regarding drone troubleshooting and maintenance. So, if you want to be a professional drone pilot, then Chapter 9, Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your Drone is really necessary for you.
