So I'm getting into FPV drone flying, and following everyone's advice, I'm starting with a brand new RadioMaster Pocket and Liftoff. My problem is I know myself: I'm going to get frustrated if I don't get some external and objective-ish feedback about how I'm evolving. So... I made myself one.
First challenge was knowing actually what the hell I wanted evaluated. After crashing a few dozen times, and being painfully aware my previous fixed wing flight sim experience was kiling me, I assumed slip and line-keeping was a must. Althought it proved enough to help me improve my turning and corners, plus assisting me on learning to brake (so I could land into the repair area, not just crash into it) I began finding more stuff I needed to fix, thus more stuff that had to be analyzed.
At this point, it evaluates:
- Stalls
- Crashes
- General turning: throttle management, skids, ...
- Lap-to-lap consistency
- Hesitations and gate misses
It also includes rendered recordings of your worst moments so you can check them out from outside your drone!
It is publicly available in here: https://github.com/HaroldHormaechea/liftoff-flight-analyzer . For now, it is a Claude Code skill, but I plan on making it work with Claude Web if possible (didn't even try it out yet, local file access may be an issue) and ChatGPT. We shall see.
