It looks like Chinese product abeg!

Stanley4E:
He just assembled the parts, he didn't developed it, there's a difference

This is profoundly a streak of a genius...something worth a Nobel Prize not that Malala of Pakistan

How big are "drones" meant to be?

SporaD8:
Osun State Deputy Governor, Mrs.
Titi Laoye-Tomori, among other
dignitaries, watched in admiration
how a drone built by a corps
member posted to Osun State
took off and carried out
surveillance of the parade ground
at the Permanent Orientation
Camp of the National Youth
Service Corps on Monday.
The corps member, Olaolu Ayoola,
a graduate of Computer Science/
Engineering of the Ladoke Akintola
University of Technology,
Ogbomoso, stole the show with
his project during the closing
ceremony of the orientation
course for the 2014 batch ‘C’ of
corps members deployed in the
state.

The drone, which soldiers and
other security agents present at
the event described as a good
one, flew for about 10 minutes
before it landed.

The device, fixed with a
surveillance camera, can stay in
the air for 20 minutes and is
capable of climbing up to 500
metres.

The device with remote control
and 2.4G radio transmitter carried
out live recording of the event,
which he monitored on his black
berry phone.

Ayoola told our correspondent in
an interview that his love for
aeronautics drove him into
building the device.

According to him, apart from
military use, the drone is also
useful in hoisting flags as well as
monitoring ongoing activities in
large farms.

He said, “This type of drone, if
fully developed, can be used by
farmers. You can deploy it to fly
round a farm of about 20 hectares
and you will monitor what is going
on.

“It can also be used to monitor
traffic situation and flooded areas.
I spent over N20,000 to build it,
but I can do something with a
bigger capacity and which will
stay for hours on air if fund is
available.”

[b]. Nigerian Student, NYSC Corper Built Surveillance Drones, Critics Say It’s Made In China.

The story making round in Nigeria is that of an NYSC Corper, Olaolu Ayoola who claimed he built a drone from scratch.
From the look of things, the guy might have succeeded in fooling Nigerians because the drone in question looks like a finished product and not like the ones made from raw materials.

Here is what critics are saying about Ayoola’s invention:

The drone in question is a finished product with remote control and not a prototype because the specifications of the drone – duration, altitude is the same with what you have in the market, the package came from China, he should show us his workshop. I am tired of people going to China to get a customized product and confuse the masses as their inventions.For the records, there are companies selling drone assembly kits online, they will send you the instruction manual to assemble it yourself. It’s likely one of those.

Another critic said:
“I just dey laugh here Ooo my brother, drone full stores here for my neighborhoodyafum,yafum… My question to the smart corper boy is simple, how and where did he get his raw materials from to manufacture his drones components ?A basic chines made toy drone in Chinese stores costs less than $100 US, so why’s this fool of a coper fooling Nigerians back home ?”

Even the controller gave him off. The corper is a liar and a disgrace to himself.
