REBUILD / 00101
The flight lab is coming back online
A public rebuild with version history, backups, and an honest record of what changes next.
Public prototype · v0.1Rebuilding in the open
Build it.
Fly it.
Learn something.
McShaky is a working flight log for drone builds, field tests, RF notes, and the lessons that survive the crash.
Latest dispatches
The log starts here.
The first version is intentionally honest: the structure is live, the voice is taking shape, and the stories will replace the scaffolding as they are recovered.
FIELD NOTE / 00002
What broke, what survived, what changes now
The first story in the new log starts with the site itself—and the lesson behind rebuilding it in the open.
SIGNAL / STANDBY03
The next useful RF note lands here
Short, sourced, pilot-readable updates without the alarmist industry noise.
Three lanes · one lab
Useful beats impressive.
Every story should answer at least one question: what did we build, what happened in the air, or what changed for the people flying it?
Bench builds
The parts, the process, and the repair after the repair.
Practical build notes, wiring decisions, tuning experiments, and the fixes that only show up after the first hard landing.
Field notes
What the quad taught us once it left the bench.
Flight tests, unexpected behavior, useful footage, and clear takeaways from real sessions—not perfect lab conditions.
Signals + rules
RF and FCC updates translated into pilot language.
A calmer place for spectrum notes, regulatory changes, and the industry shifts that actually affect how we fly.
Community frequency
The channels are being reconnected.
YouTube, Discord, Patreon, and the newsletter return here as their original links are recovered. Until then, this homepage is the public build log.
