It is also the learning aspect for me. And doing projects for friends helps to force good design decisions, and to mind BOM cost.

I ended up with "cervicogenic dizziness." I was forced onto team standing desk a couple years back. And I'm only 40. SMH...

Anyways, I think my 6 year old would love to play with paper airplanes that also could be flown remotely.

Ah, that's too bad about the dizziness... We're getting old, alas!

The controller works fine, but I still need to do some work on the aerodynamics of the body to make it fly well. I'll post the controller so you can try your own aircraft designs, though.

EDIT: I've also recently started live-streaming my design sessions (of whatever I happen to be designing at the time) here: https://www.youtube.com/c/StavrosKorokithakis

Hahaha, thanks, I found that hilarious and loved how low-latency it was.
