Drones are just remote control airplanes but these are not your father's remote control planes. Today's drones can carry wireless cameras whose video feeds can be broadcast to goggles so you can pilot your drone even when it's not within eyesight. Drone prices have also come way down where you can assemble a cheap one for a couple hundred dollars. DIY Drones has a lot of great information for beginners and experts alike and also has a great community.

DIY Drones is a great place to acquire detailed knowledge about all things remote control. Principally all forms of aircraft, but most higher level discussions relate to autonomous autopilot systems, their development, application and improvement. There is a wealth of information there on virtually everything RC, some needing a good understanding of electronics or aeronautics, but being a forum consisting of like minded enthusiasts, there is usually plenty of help available for beginners (noobs). Unfortunately though, being a public domain, administered and moderated by a limited number of people, some elements of 'less than qualified' responses can sometimes mislead, but overall, common sense and adopting a broad approach will usually give users a great experience in this new and fast evolving technology.
