Arse. I decided to take advantage of a day off and fly one of my FPV quads for the first time in ages. I picked the Flywoo Firefly 2S Nano Baby 20, charged some 2S batteries, my transmitter and my goggles batteries, plugged the quad into Betaflight Configurator to check it was alive, then walked down the road to fly. I got set up, armed the drone and... nothing. The motors wouldn't spin up.

I tried a few more times, with two different batteries, but no joy. So I walked home, plugging the drone back into my computer and tried manually running the motors in Betaflght Configurator. I could get them to spin up one at a time, but when I tried to spin all four I'd only get one or two to work. Then they wouldn't even work individually either. I tried ESC Configurator too and it could talk to the ESCs so they aren't completely dead, but I'm guessing they are damaged. It's either that or all four motors, but that seems unlikely.

I really want to get into flying my FPV quadcopters/drones again. First step, plug my radio into the computer and fire up a simulator. I have several, this one is Liftoff: Micro Drones.

Yikes. CaddX seem to be getting desperate in their attempts to compete with DJI, and they're really shooting themselves in the foot with this sort of behaviour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8aIjL3-GIM

I don't want to buy into the DJI FPV system, but the way things are going I don't feel good about buying any more CaddX kit either.

Last weekend we gave Brizes Park potentially the last rip ever after what's been a sick home spot for us (thanks to @livelyfpv) over the last few years!

Great day with @livelyfpv , @holtblackheath_fpv , @shepfpv & @chase_fpv_drone , Brizes Park was sent off with quads, wings and fireworks! 🙌🙌

Thanks to @__frame_x_ for my Stealth 5 Frame 🔥🔥
