I had the idea to simulate a Betaflight flight controller for some time and, in 2023, I began porting the code to C#. However, I soon discovered that Betaflight already had a target that does exactly this! The SITL (Software in the Loop) target can be built on a Linux Read more…
At the end of 2020 I started to fly quadcopters, and I got hooked! The freedome to fly how ever you want is awesome, but can also lead to damaged hardware pretty quick.

This means I had to wait a few weeks for a replacement bottom plate. I also had problems with the VTX antenna after it got pulled a few times. Little did I know, as this damaged antenna destroyed a handfull of VTXs, but the worst part was the frame, which was a bit tricky to assemble. It was rather cramped, and every time you put it together something wasn't fitting 100% correct.
