## Overview

An open-source training-drone kit we developed at Mayfly so students can learn drone technology hands-on across mechanics, electronics and software — assembled and disassembled repeatedly. It was a team product; I worked on the software and product-development side.

## My Role

I owned the software/autopilot side and product development; I ran flight tests, prepared the user manual and technical docs, and produced the training videos. I also trained the instructors at institutions that bought the kit ("train the trainer"), teaching the sensor, autopilot and all software topics to instructor candidates.

## Outputs & Specifications

The resulting product: 29 mechanical + 13 electronic parts, an S500 frame (500 mm motor span), APM 2.8 flight controller, M8N GPS (60 cm precision), 1.2 kg weight, 500 g payload, ~15 min flight, 1500 m range, 30 km/h wind resistance, autonomous takeoff/landing/RTL. A single kit supports 4-6 students and shipped with a 20+ hour approved curriculum and instructor materials (references include T3, ÇOMÜ, BTÜ and high schools).
