Geek and Star Wars fanatic Olivier C from France specializes in building custom housing for quadcopters that become the awesome „Star Wars“ drones – like TIE Fighter – you’ve been looking for. For this latest project, he’s built an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, and in the video above, you’ll see test flights of it soaring above the skies of Southern France, complete with custom LED lights perfect for night missions.
