How's this going? Have you done more?

Hey, not much new. Still waiting for more parts. Last thing I got was the 3DR radio which seems to work great (at least indoors)

Soldered 5v jumper and FTDI header (lots of swearing) and flashed latest firmware on the ESC32s.

Hooked up one of the ESCs to a engine, Armed and started without problems, now im just waiting for the xoar 13x5 props to start calibrating.

Today I mounted and soldered the ESCs and engines. Took a few hours but feels good to be done.

Also tested the one wire protocol for uploading esc settings, seems to be working

Now I'm waiting for spacers for mounting the AQ board.
