updates. playing a sim in spare time to get better flight control at speed. Can fly around haus pretty well. Fixed broken antenna which caused recent drop crash. ChalupaBatman's drone will be in this week. We will start racing.

Its a lot like flyable legos. Easy to fix. But yes, so far its taken about 20 mins of repairs for each session of 20-30 mins of flying.

It's too bad they don't make Formula Vees out of Lego.

Had some good flights in the race drone. It did it's first successful flip. Sadly soon after chalupabatman gave it a hard crash into the ground. Knocked a few things loose and broke more carbon.

His should be in soon. He went full waxer on an even faster model.

For now I need to solder the engine leads back in. Image

I 3d printed some new side plate camera mounts. The carbon fiber kept shattering and plastic seems to be the answer. The drone hobby is well supported in the 3d printing world.

I also soldered up the broken wire from the last crash. Richie flew it full speed into the ground. I expected that to fix it, yet no dice. The flight controller seems to be 100% dead. Wont connect to computer on USB, zero lights.

Ordered a new one from china for $36. Hopefully it gets here quickly.

Lololol. Airboat harassement! Go down to New Iberia and you can harass a half toothed meth head with flaking scaling skin. You're likely to confuse them for alligators or other wild animals like nutria rats
