Od course, not everything would be made from wood. That is kind of impossible. Only frame. Quick research on the internet proven that is fully…

Brushed or brushless – RC motor dilemma
You want to fly, you need a motor. Electric, internal combustion, jet, ion, gravity. It does not matter. And since gravity engines are not invented yet, ion has no place in atmosphere and jet or internal combustion are kind of non-practical for multirotors usage, we have to stick with electric motors. In RC world there…
