Drone v2

Drone version 2 came! Well, the PNP non elrs-version. Spent the last 6 hours getting everything set up. O4 air unit, camera mount 3d printing, etc.

The missing screws

3D printed bracket

I realized midway through that I didn't have the right screws to hook the whole thing up. So of course, I designed and 3d printed a bracket to mitigate that. And then of course, I found the correct screws after I'd ordered replacements on Aliexpress.

Note to self - be more organized when working with small parts!

First flights

Anyways, trying to fly this thing is TOUGH. Like really tough. I read online that experienced fpv pilots actually struggle when switching to tinywhoops because they're so incredibly light and responsive, so I'm not feeling too bad. I think I have to get it set up and tuned so it doesn't just immediately hit the ceiling. More work to be done!
