Fill in your aircraft, your pack and your job once, and every other sheet in the kit uses those same numbers instead of asking you to remember them under a time limit.

Plus the online buyer guide
Three complete drone builds, recreational through commercial mapping, every item priced and linked, plus every product the kit names, kept current on this site. Your kit links straight to it, so the prices you plan with are today's, not the day the PDF was printed.
Who it's for
- A recreational pilot who wants to know, not guess, whether their build needs registration
- A part-time paid operator planning a mapping, inspection or real estate job around one battery count instead of hoping three packs is enough
- An FPV pilot who wants the buying order and the field checklist in one place, not spread across a dozen browser tabs
- Anyone who has been caught by a battery that gave up sooner than the box promised
Who made this
Built by DroneGearSetup.com from the FAA’s published rules, manufacturer specifications and the flight-time, wind and mapping arithmetic already published free on the site, put into a form you fill in with your own numbers instead of reading someone else’s.
30-day money-back guarantee
Use the whole kit. If it doesn’t help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
Questions
Is this legal advice or a substitute for Part 107?
No. It is a set of planning worksheets that record the numbers the FAA rules ask you to know, such as weight and registration status. It is not instruction, not a substitute for TRUST or Part 107 certification, and not legal advice. Confirm current rules at faa.gov/uas.
Does it work for FPV builds as well as camera drones?
Yes. The weight, registration, battery and preflight sheets apply to any multirotor. The mapping and card-capacity sheets matter most to camera and survey flying, and the countdown and payback sheets are useful to anyone flying for a client.
What if I already know most of these numbers?
Then the kit takes less than 20 minutes to fill in once, and its value shifts to the reusable log sheets: the flight log, the countdown and the payback log, which are the pages you reprint every trip rather than fill in once.
Is there a refund if it does not help?
Yes, a full 30-day money-back guarantee with no argument. Use the whole kit, and if it does not help, the refund form on the contact page gets every dollar back. Refund form.
