First Flight Experience with Mobula8 and Betaflight

My first cycle of hands-on learning has ended.

Got the Mobula8 in the mail. Got Betaflight installed, connected, configured and after two days, the little guy lifted off for the first time.

Took it out to my shop where there is some room to test indoors.

Ran through three batteries just taking off and learning how to avoid hitting the walls. That was using horizon mode.

Got curious how I'd do on acro mode.

Lifted off, hovered around a bit down to the far end of the shop (30 feet or so) then made an adjustment to avoid the wall.

When I did that, it was all over. The little guy shot like a rocket down the full length of the shop and slammed into the opposite wall with a hearty BAM!

Destroyed the FC board and broke two micro resistors off the camera PCB.

So now I have two frames, 12 props, 4 motors and no electronics.

But I learned stuff!
