🚀How to start Aerospace Engineering (without the NASA budget) Stop waiting for a degree to start building. I’m an Aero student at Stanford, and let me tell you—the laws of physics work the same in your garage as they do in a multi-million dollar lab. If you want to get into FPV drones, high-powered rocketry, or RC planes, you need a flight plan. This is Part 1 of my series on the best beginner-friendly projects to level up your engineering skills. The Roadmap: 1. Foam-Board RC Planes: The ultimate way to learn aerodynamics without the heartbreak of an expensive crash. ($80–$120) 2. Scratch-Built Rockets: Skip the kits. Design your own in OpenRocket to learn stability and flight physics. ($40–$80) 3. Tiny Whoop FPV: The “final boss” of hobby aero. Master the simulator first, then build your own micro-drone. ($150–$250) Resources in this video:
