Build It Your Way.

The Design Your Own FPV Drone option is for pilots who want something more specific than one of our standard Hummingbird, Hummingbird Pro, or Falcon configurations.

Maybe you already know exactly which frame, motors, video system, receiver, and electronics you want.

Maybe you only know that you want something lightweight, fast, cinematic, durable, long-range, or completely ridiculous.

Either way, we’ll help turn your idea into a compatible, professionally built FPV aircraft.

You choose the priorities.

We help engineer the system around them.

Every custom WingSmith build is professionally designed, assembled, configured, tuned, inspected, and tested by WingSmith Drones in Saskatchewan before shipment.

Custom Design & Build Fee: $75

Every Design Your Own build includes a $75 Custom Design & Build Fee in addition to the components and equipment selected for your build.

This fee covers the additional one-off work involved in creating a custom WingSmith configuration, including:

Component compatibility review
Custom build planning
Component selection assistance
Aircraft configuration design
Professional assembly
Soldering and wiring
Firmware configuration
Receiver and control setup
Flight-mode configuration
Tuning
QA/QC inspection
Functional testing
Build documentation
Technical support
Lifetime eligibility for WingSmith repair support

Your final price is the $75 Custom Design & Build Fee plus the components and equipment selected for your configuration.

You’ll know exactly what is going into your build — and what it costs — before assembly begins.

Why Is There a Separate Fee?

Our Hummingbird, Hummingbird Pro, and Falcon configurations have already been designed, tested, and standardized, so their design and build costs are incorporated into their listed prices.

A custom aircraft requires additional one-off design, compatibility, configuration, and planning work.

The $75 Custom Design & Build Fee allows us to provide that additional service without making a custom build less expensive than one of our established WingSmith configurations simply because the components are being selected individually.

For unusually complex builds or configurations requiring extensive additional design work, any additional labour cost will be discussed and approved before work begins.

How It Works

1. Tell Us What You Want to Do

Start by telling us what you want your aircraft to accomplish.

That might include:

Lightweight / sub-250g flying
Compact freestyle
High-performance freestyle
Fast cruising
Cinematic flight
Racing
Longer-duration cruising
Action-camera carrying
A specific control or video ecosystem
A particular frame or component
A completely custom application

You do not need to know every component you want before getting started.

If you already know exactly what you want, great.

If your starting point is simply:

“I want something small, fast, and hard to break.”

That works too.

2. Build Your Configuration

We’ll help you select compatible components based on your goals, budget, and existing equipment.

Your build may include selections for:

Frame
Propeller size
Motors
Flight controller
ESC
Video system
Receiver
Controller
FPV goggles
Batteries
Charger
GPS
Buzzers
Antennas
Action-camera mounts
TPU / 3D-printed parts
Spare parts
Maintenance equipment

Already own goggles, a controller, batteries, or charging equipment?

We can build around the equipment you already have rather than making you buy it again.

3. Review Your Build

Before assembly begins, we’ll confirm the proposed configuration with you.

You’ll know:

Which frame is being used
Which motors are being installed
Which flight electronics are included
Which video system is installed
Which receiver/control system is being used
Battery requirements
Relevant compatibility details
Selected upgrades and accessories
Final component pricing
Custom Design & Build Fee
Expected final build price

No mystery components. No surprise substitutions. No hidden build specification.

4. We Build It

Once the configuration is approved, WingSmith will:

Professionally assemble the aircraft
Solder and wire the electronics
Install selected components
Configure firmware
Configure the receiver and control link
Set up flight modes and functions
Tune the aircraft
Perform QA/QC inspection
Functionally test the completed build
Prepare supporting build documentation

You get the benefits of a custom FPV aircraft without having to figure out every compatibility problem, solder joint, firmware setting, and configuration step yourself.

5. We Help You Keep It Flying

Our relationship with you doesn’t end when the aircraft ships.

Custom WingSmith builds remain eligible for ongoing:

Technical troubleshooting
Repair consultations
Video-assisted repair support
Replacement-part guidance
Mail-in repair services
Configuration assistance
Upgrade support
WingSmith repair support throughout the life of the aircraft

What Can You Customize?

Aircraft Size & Frame

Choose the platform that best suits your intended use.

Possible configurations may include:

2.5”
3”
3.5”
5”
Other compatible FPV platforms

Frame selection can be based around priorities such as:

Weight
Durability
Freestyle performance
Portability
Racing
Cinematic use
Ease of repair
Component compatibility

Motors & Propulsion

Motor selection can dramatically change how an aircraft feels.

We can help select motors based on priorities such as:

Efficiency
Lightweight performance
Thrust
Freestyle
Racing
Smooth cruising
Payload capability

Motor KV, propeller size, battery voltage, ESC capability, and aircraft weight all need to work together.

That’s part of what the custom design process is for.

Flight Electronics

Your flight controller and ESC can be selected to suit:

Aircraft size
Motor requirements
Battery voltage
Current demand
Available space
GPS or accessory requirements
Intended flying style

We’ll help make sure your electronics are appropriate for the rest of the system rather than simply choosing parts individually.

Video System

Choose a compatible FPV video platform based on the equipment you already own or the performance you want.

Options may include systems such as:

DJI O4 Lite Pro
DJI O4 Pro
Other compatible digital or FPV video systems

Already own goggles?

Tell us what you use and we can help configure the aircraft around them where possible.

Receiver & Control Link

Your receiver must be compatible with the radio system you intend to use.

Our standard builds commonly use ELRS, but custom receiver configurations may be available depending on your equipment and requirements.

Already have a controller you love?

We’ll help build around it.

Batteries

Battery selection affects:

Aircraft weight
Flight duration
Power delivery
Handling
Motor performance
Payload capability

We can help select an appropriate battery size and connector based on the aircraft configuration.

If remaining below a particular regulatory weight threshold is important, we can also build with finished aircraft weight in mind.

GPS & Additional Electronics

Compatible builds may include:

GPS
Buzzers
Additional antennas
Telemetry hardware
Other compatible accessories

Additional hardware can affect weight, power requirements, and available mounting space, so these components are considered as part of the overall aircraft design.

TPU & 3D-Printed Components

Customize your build with compatible 3D-printed components such as:

Antenna mounts
Camera protection
Action-camera mounts
Motor protection
Landing protection
GPS mounts
Custom colour combinations

Available options depend on the selected frame and aircraft configuration.

Complete Kit or Drone Only

Your custom build doesn’t have to include equipment you already own.

Choose:

Drone Only

Ideal if you already own compatible:

Goggles
Controller
Batteries
Charger
Tools

Complete Kit

Build an entire FPV setup around your custom aircraft.

A complete kit can include:

FPV goggles
Radio controller
Flight batteries
Smart battery charger
Spare propellers
Maintenance tools
Liftoff FPV Simulator access
WingSmith Academy training resources

Start With the Way You Want to Fly

Lightweight / Sub-250g

Prioritize:

Low aircraft weight
Portability
Efficiency
Responsive handling

Where possible, we can select components with a sub-250g ready-to-fly target in mind.

Final regulatory weight depends on the completed aircraft as flown, including the battery, GPS, camera, accessories, and any other installed equipment.

Freestyle

Built around:

Durability
Thrust
Control authority
Repairability
Responsive handling

Ideal for pilots interested in:

Flips
Rolls
Power loops
Dives
Punch-outs
High-energy flying

Cruising / Cinematic

Prioritize:

Smooth flight characteristics
Efficiency
Usable flight duration
Stable power delivery
Camera compatibility

We can help balance battery size, motor selection, propeller choice, and payload based on how you intend to fly.

High Performance

For pilots who care more about power than minimum aircraft weight.

Higher-output motors, electronics, batteries, and propeller configurations can create a much more aggressive aircraft.

That additional performance may come with trade-offs in:

Flight duration
Battery demand
Weight
Heat
Component wear

We’ll help explain those trade-offs before the build is finalized.

Something Weird?

Have a frame you love?

A component combination you haven’t seen offered anywhere?

A very specific application?

A build idea that starts with:

“Okay, hear me out…”

Perfect.

Tell us what you’re trying to accomplish.

If we can build it safely, compatibly, and responsibly, we’ll work with you to figure out how.

What Every Custom WingSmith Aircraft Includes

Every custom WingSmith aircraft includes:

Professionally assembled FPV drone
Complete soldering and wiring
Component installation
Firmware configuration
Receiver and control setup
Flight-mode configuration
WingSmith tuning
QA/QC inspection
Functional testing
Build documentation
Technical support
Lifetime eligibility for WingSmith repair support

Your aircraft is built as a complete system — not as a random collection of individually compatible-looking parts.

Your Final Specs Are Your Specs

Because every custom WingSmith build is different, there is no single universal specification sheet for the Design Your Own platform.

Your final configuration will identify the actual components selected for your aircraft, including:

Frame
Propeller size
Motors
Flight controller / ESC
Video system
Receiver
Battery requirements
Connector type
Selected accessories
Relevant configuration details

Where appropriate, we’ll also provide expected or measured information relating to:

Aircraft weight
Ready-to-fly weight
Battery configuration
Expected performance
Flight-time observations
Payload considerations

We don’t hide what’s inside your build — the build specification is part of the product.

Performance & Flight Time

There is no single flight-time number that accurately represents every custom FPV aircraft.

A lightweight 2.5” drone, a high-powered 3.5” freestyle build, and a full-size 5” aircraft can have dramatically different:

Weight
Thrust
Battery requirements
Flight duration
Handling
Power consumption
Payload capability

As part of the custom design process, we’ll help explain the expected trade-offs between:

Weight
Power
Flight duration
Durability
Payload
Portability
Cost

Where WingSmith publishes performance figures, they are based on real-world testing, measured completed builds, or configuration-specific information rather than treating one number as representative of every aircraft.

Actual FPV flight time varies with throttle use, flying style, battery condition, temperature, wind, propeller choice, payload, and overall aircraft configuration.
