So there's no open source drone (and I mean quadcopter in this case) already? 3D printers (using lightweight filament), motors, ESCs, a microcontroller running some open code....? | ||

ArduPilot exists. And was used in the attacks on russian air bases https://www.reddit.com/r/ardupilot/comments/1l0pdg9/sbu_appa... The hardware typically runs https://pixhawk.org/ on 3d printed airframes https://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/ukraine-s-drone-air-for... or to OP's point, DJI drones flashed with custom firmware | ||

There are plenty of open designs where you can buy parts off the shelf and build your own drone. Nothing has the software that DJI produces to go on top of the drone. Not specifically a good or bad thing, learning to fly on your own has a lot of value. But you will have more crashes. | ||

I’ve mostly seen the diy drones in the fpv community. Lots of options and kits out there. | ||
