Drone Skull - Scary Copter

When you really want to scare some kids, this is a fun project that's not too expensive.

First purchase a lightweight plastic skull, I got mine at Target store.\

Then add a couple of bright red LEDs to the eye sockets and wire up a small 3V battery, CR2032 or similar.

I made supports under my quadcopter to hold the skull using plastic tubing and some 18awg magnet wire.

Here's a picture of the skull with the LEDs on:

It worked very well, although the added weight cut the flight time in half.

I added streamers under the skull, but they didn't get along with the propellers.
