Yeah, definite neato factor but by eyeball at least I feel like I could do that bend by hand within a mm tolerance of this. Hard to imagine this precision is needed. Makes sense if mass producing these I guess.

This is a workshop for combat FPV drones, so precision is extremely important.

Interesting. Important for balancing? Or does the signal reception really depend on that much precision? I'm Suprised to learn that either way.

They have to operate at very long distances in an electronic-warfare saturated environment. Even the tiniest imperfections can be the difference between life and death.

And in this case you want death!
