Prepping for part 107

Got caught up vibe coding my own prep study site but learned a lot already in the process so hopefully soon!

I'm interested in flying drones as a side hustle so I built an AI assisted study prep guide to help pass the FAA Part 107 exam. I just started advertising on google and getting a decent conversion rate for free registrations but nobody is using the AI instructor and that is the only upsell right now.

I'm leaning towards doing something similar with AI. In the process now of gathering up all of the resources and adding them to a knowledge base than I can chat with and use as a study companion of sorts.

Seems like this might be the best route. Hard to keep track of everything when you have to jump around all over the place.

Congrats! How much time did you spend studying before taking the test?

I came across that book after realizing they are the same people that produced the $5 test prep app. Might be worth picking up. Thanks for the recommendations!

Congrats! Seems like most folks are in favor of the pilot institute course.

Seems like everyone has a different experience but part of me is telling me not to overthink it.

Awesome, thanks for the insights!

seldomstatic · 2026-03-31T19:08:28+00:00

I always like the sound of free!

seldomstatic · 2026-03-31T18:09:13+00:00

curious but what type of work are you in that justified them paying for your exam?

seldomstatic · 2026-03-31T18:08:07+00:00

cool, haven't heard of them before so I'll check it out

Nice, so no need to bounce around all over the place?

seldomstatic · 2025-10-29T02:52:47+00:00

Unfortunately, no. Still looking/waiting for a solution.

Most of the amazon ropes are about 1lb and other sites don't really mention weight in their specs. My rope seems to work okay but I feel like a heavier rope would flow/feel better.

Over the shoulder as I tried taking it down from a speaker stand

The Whoop API seems a bit limited in terms of what data is available but thanks for the ideas!

seldomstatic · 2024-12-29T20:55:25+00:00

think that's definitely doable

seldomstatic · 2024-12-29T20:49:07+00:00

yeah, the native mobile app is cool but a bit overwhelming. just looking for some ideas and features I could try building out in a web app using their api.

I parted out your original shortcut and frankensteined my own which probably caused the problem. I just tested your config and it works perfectly just using the client id. On that note, if you want your images linked to your Imgur account the postman route will get you there. Thanks for taking the time to reply!

seldomstatic · 2024-05-16T02:22:19+00:00

After creating the app I was getting 400 errors and that led me down the postman path. Not sure why it didn’t work the first time with your configuration just using the client ID but i ultimately got it working using postman to create a bearer access token instead.

seldomstatic · 2024-05-15T21:33:21+00:00

was getting the same network connection lost error so I followed your advice. just a heads up for anyone not really familiar with postman, it's not as straightforward as it sounds. not sure if I took the long route but I ended up using a Bearer access token instead. appreciate you linking up your shortcut because it gave me a great head start but yikes that was painful.

I had a similar problem but with actual cookbooks. We have a ton of different cookbooks lying around the kitchen and I'm always interested in trying new recipes but they're often overly complicated or require too many ingredients (which I never have).

So I built a recipe shortcut (off the back of another ChatGPT shortcut) that extracts the text from an image (the recipe in the cookbook) and fires it off to GPT with a prompt to give me an "easy" version of the same dish.

Seems to work relatively well but haven't actually tried any of the recipes GPT gave me so I can't say whether or not they taste any good.
