Looks fun. how is that drone training going?

Archive: Not working

From the post:

>I made this 130 mile capable VTOL drone in only 90 days. It can fly for 3 hours on a single charge. That would make it one of the longest range and endurance 3D printed VTOLs in the world. This is the thing I'm most proud of building to date! Before this project, I was a total CAD, 3D printing and aerodynamic modeling beginner. I had only built and flown one VTOL before. My CAD skills were restricted to extrusions of basic sketches. My Bambu A1 3D printer was only one month old, and I had never tried printing foaming PLA. I had never used any aerodynamic modeling tools to simulate lift-to-drag ratios or stability curves like Cm-alpha.

Hey, Get back to work. Did anyone say you are allowed to not become an ACE drone pilot or something? We are going to need you in the upcoming civil war against the illegals and trans that are trying to burn the country down.

Seriously though, I hope its been going well when you have had the time. I need to get on it. I have all of the software and just need to decide on a controller to order.

I got the dji controller 3 because it pairs with the drone I want to get. Avata 3

I tend to overthink and have been looking at a lot of DIY designs because of reasons.

When I finally land on something ill post it. Especially if I end up self-building something.
