    Drone enthusiast and Star Wars fan Olivier C is back at it again, and this T-70 X-Wing quadcopter drone is his latest project. Since you can’t really find X-Wing toys of this size in stores, he started with a custom drone body, cut out the basic shape of X-Wing from expanded polystyrene insulation foam, installed the quadcopter, attached LEDs, and then painted the entire body.

    This drone is designed for beginners – included prop guards will save your propellers during crashes – but it’s fun for advanced flyers as well. Unlike the previous model, this one’s remote has a button that lets you take while executing spectacular 360° flips.

    Make one from scratch of course. Drone enthusiast Olivier C started with a custom drone body, cut the basic shape of the falcon from expanded polystyrene insulation foam, installed a rectangular antenna to match the one on the Millennium Falcon, attached LEDs, and then painted the entire thing.
