With guidance from the previous articles in this series, you have assembled,
configured, and flown your very own Kronos Flyer quadcopter. This particular
platform — our reference build — was designed in a way to minimize the cost of
repairs when you crash (you did, right?), to learn on, to make mistakes with, and
to hone your skills. One of the advantages to building your own multi-rotor craft
is the opportunity to modify it and add functional upgrades. This article will
show you some upgrade possibilities — not as a step-by-step guide, but as a
germinator to inspire your imagination and to encourage your own add-on
design ideas.
