Fixed my Drone, blew apart some props, got Super Relaxed, and tried crazy stuff

Long Description Warning... So, I finally figured out the source of all my evil jitter sputter vibrations, and it really always is the simplest things, isn't it?? Every time I rebuilt a quad, it flies like absolute juice butter for a few days and then starts to go to crap shortly after, and I could never figure out why the heck that happened, especially times when I hadn't even really crashed in-between when it was flying great and when it went to garbage. Want to know the stupid source of my evil vibrations? My Microphone. Yes, a silly random chip has caused me all this grief for months.

The way I would attach the Mic to the quad was to find some random place it would fit and 3M tape it to the frame. Then, after doing flippies enough or smashing the earth, it would rip off, and I would just shove it back up in there under the FPV cam and call it a day. Then, for forever on until I rebuilt the quad again, the Mic would just rattle around in there, and the FC Gyro would pick up those movements and try to correct them, and my quad would jitter. Freaking DUMB on my part to not even consider this. So the Mic is securely zip-tied down to the frame and everything is good to go now!!

...also I can't fly with Butter Cutters anymore :( at least not with these Beastly Motors. 2750kv must just be too much for them to handle, because after about 5 packs or so I would just absolutely blow apart a propeller (or two in the case of this video) in midair and come crashing back down to the earth. Do they fly amazingly? Yes! Am I sick of worrying about potential catastrophic crashes every time I fly cuz at any point a blade could explode?? Yes :( ...sorry Willy, but I gots to go back to them OG HQ blades bro...
