But without the refunds, how would Cantor Fitzgerald (where Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's son is the chair) get their money from the rights to the tariff refunds they bought?

 

I've been working on this for a while, and I still have data quality issues that need corrected, but I figure I'll "release" this now so I can get some feedback. I think it's plenty useful in its current state.

It's part-picker-like tool aimed at hopefully greatly aiding the process of picking parts for FPV drone builds. Once you have props, motors, and a battery selected, it estimates the hover time and thrust-to-weight ratio of the build. When you go to switch-out parts, it shows you the estimated deltas for thrust-to-weight-ratio and hover flight times. You can do things like sort by the highest deltas, if you want to optimize for flight time, for instance. The application does a lot of compatibility checks and auto-filtering, but they still need a little more work (mostly because of data quality issues). I currently only support GetFPV's catalog, but once I'm satisfied with the data quality, I will add more stores and price comparisons.

I'd be happy get feedback, or answer any questions.
