This just looks too cool not to want one.
But, as you’d expect, the entire thing is custom made. The base drone is a “Prophecy 335″ — a quadcopter of Oliver C’s own design, built from the ground up using off-the-shelf parts. To give it the iconic Millennium Falcon look, he made a custom “skin” out of lightweight foam that fits snugly onto the drone’s chassis. It even has working LED thruster lights!
Unfortunately you can’t buy one of these badboys (yet!), as Oliver C hasn’t mass produced them, but you can build one yourself if you feel inclined. Oliver C has posted DIY instructions for both the drone and the Millennium Falcon skin online
I’m debating showing this video to my grandson because you all well know what will happen. It will the 21st century version of ‘buy me a pony’, grandpa. I sure he will love the video and if any plans and parts become available I hope I will be first in line.
