That's five motors. 500% as many motors as this guy.

Yes. Mine does actually fly though, you can run it for as long as you have juice and make it go where you want it to. This one is not controllable, it is stable but it doesn't really go where it is told to go. Though in the longer term he may be able to fix that, I doubt it will work without at least one additional actuator.

It is possible to get full control with just one motor and one control surface but not with offset payloads.

Well said. I agree with you.

Everything I've vibe coded is utlitarian, sparse, barebones, and the code itself is fewer bytes than the documentation.

You can do this if you hold its hand a lot. Claude by default will do insane levels of abstraction for small things. Also make Python docstrings 3x longer than the actual code.

Anthropic bills by the token. Incentives might be different for open weight models.

and if you hand hold its not vibe coding.

If only!

One of four extensions I run, I hope they never give up. A while back they mentioned it being harder and harder to maintain.
