Hmm, yeah, perhaps we can put mats down on the gym floor too. The
alternative for a wide open space would be going outside, and
then even a small wind can mess up these light aircraft so I want

You could start with some existing flight controller + chassis.
The combo is usually notoriously hard to tune, especially for

Thanks, this is a huge help!
As for budget the recipe goes - you either spend some more
