Could you build this?
No Building a working micro quadcopter requires hardware design, flight-controller firmware tuning, and physical testing, which software-only vibe coding cannot replace.
What it would actually take: A real product needs a validated parts list and compatible frame, motor, ESC, and flight controller combinations, with firmware such as Betaflight or PX4 configured and PID tuned. Physical test flights, weight and power budgeting, and crash-safety engineering are required. Electronics and aerospace or drone-building expertise is needed to make it work reliably.
