The Kit

Pilot Setup

The radio, goggles, batteries, and field kit behind the Fictive Air fleet.

This is the ground side of the operation—the kit that travels to the field, not any one aircraft. Rates and OSD are tuned once and shared across the fleet, so they live here; per-airframe components, motors, PIDs, and filters live with each entry in the fleet. Batteries and props vary by build, so the values below are the working ranges rather than a single part number.
