Hello!
I just wanted to share that I successfully completed my first 5 inch build! I had a lot of help from forum members (shoutout to @HighTechPauper and @rtkDarling ) and I could not be more grateful. Was a long time coming with many mishaps and I almost even quit halfway because I accidentally messed up my fc with the soldering iron, but finally everything works. My reason for building this was mostly a "why not" kind of a situation. I like robotics, and tech, so this was perfect project. Also, I am just amazed by how much things have improved in the DIY drone scene. My friends and I back in high school built a drone or two with the TBS Discovery frame, APM fc, SimmonK ESCs, Turnigy X9D radios, and Sunnysky motors. Man are things so much more user friendly and reliable now. You can actually get perfect quality flight under $500, something that was not possible back then. Mind boggling. Who knows, maybe I'll build something 5 years down the line that flies itself hahah. Cannot wait to fly more!
