    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDb_YdZocGk&amp;t=99">1:39</a> nope, &quot;Sensor to MCU interface&quot; is 6 axis IMU with accelerometer and gyroscope, maybe 9 axis with magnetometer optionally. &quot;Tilt sensor&quot; is barometer for altitude holding. This board isn&apos;t expensive, maybe 0.5$ in mass production. MCU manufacturer is Onmicro, no public datasheet available.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDb_YdZocGk&amp;t=133">2:13</a> no way that SPI, this is 100% UART interface, for SPI you need at least 3 signal wire - MOSI, CS, SCK<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDb_YdZocGk&amp;t=258">4:18</a> again - this is not interface ic, this is default SPI FLASH memory<br><br>If you don&apos;t sure or don&apos;t know, ask chatgpt and read more info instead speak disinformation

    I think I know why the antennas were &quot;added&quot;. They simply had no other choice to put them on since the manufacturer of the remote control casing had only this form to offer. it would cost them a lot more to build a new casing design.<br>Speaking of which: maybe it&apos;s possible to extend the inner antenna rods to the said arms so you get more range?

    A bit disappointed you didn&apos;t show more of the drone flying and what&apos;s it&apos;s range

    I think the sleeves are there to optimise the impedance of the specific frequency of the antenna, in this case 2.4ghz WiFi

    I think at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDb_YdZocGk&amp;t=176">2:56</a> the rotor and stator are reversed

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDb_YdZocGk&amp;t=178">2:58</a> you have rotor and stator mixed up.
