Questions

What parts does the MPCDrone use?

39 parts, built around the LPS22HB, ICM-20948, LP2980IM5X-3.3 and ABM8G-12.000MHZ-B4Y-T. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the MPCDrone KiCad files?

From the Tobi-McKellar/Drone repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MPCDrone/MPCDrone.kicad_pcb and its schematic MPCDrone/MPCDrone.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MPCDrone design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Tobi-McKellar before reusing the design.
