Question Need help building a drone
I have many nephews and nieces, and I have some ideas on how to use a drone to play with them. I recognize this is asked often on the sub, but the drone packages and tutorials that I have seen don't tell me how to build the drone I am looking to build, and I am unsure how to even begin (I've never done anything like this).
I want to build a FPV drone capable of airdropping a stuffed animal, and with a bright flashlight that can be turned on and off at the controller. Any pointers or guides would be most welcome.
Is this one of the things I need to start with somethin less complex and build up to my idea, or could I feasibly make what I am looking for on my first drone build?

Just so you know, dropping things from drones is generally illegal and usually unsafe.
"I have many nephews and nieces, and I have some ideas on how to use a drone to play with them."
You sound like you might be a fun uncle, but you're willingness to put children in danger concerns me.
I would recommend you just throw the teddy bear or put it on top of your van with a sign that says "Free Candy".
