E88 / E99 Drone: reconstructing Wi-Fi flight control and video access
E88 / E99 Drone PC Control reconstructs the Wi-Fi control and video exchanges of an E99-labeled toy drone with an E88D board and FlyUFO app. Its Python client sends documented UDP stick and heartbeat packets, receives telemetry and presents an RTSP-derived MJPEG stream in a browser.

Requirements & limits
- Prerequisites: Python 3.8+, a Wi-Fi adapter connected to the drone and ffmpeg for video or snapshots are required.
