First Person View (FPV) Drone Flying

What does watching the sky from the perspective of a small, radio-controlled flying craft have to do with paracord? More than you might think. First of all, they are both primarily DIY hobbies. Second, drone builders are constantly looking for ways to make their builds lighter, more streamlined, and more durable. Paracord is sometimes used for covering the electrical cables that bring power to the drone motors. Because paracord is wear and water resistant, It is ideal for covering sensitive wiring. As a bonus, you can get it in nearly any color to match the rest of your build.

Computer Customizing

Similar to use on DIY drones, paracord can be used to cover cabling inside desktop computers. Not only does paracord keep cables nice and tidy, the color can be customized for constructing computers that are as nice to look at as they are to use.
