Interesting write up. I was just watching a video yesterday which had a pretty good example of the testing aircraft manufacturers do for this scenario. It’s called a velocity minimum unstick test. Some impressive flying. https://

It really is a great place and I can vouch that so much of it stems from the founder Andrew. He’s one of the most unselfish, generous and real people I’ve ever met. I’ve been through some major ups and downs with the team and even under ext

This is a shameless plug but I've created a service that aims to help with a lot of the issues that OP describes such as rate limiting, JS and scaling. It's a bit like Heroku for web scraping and automation. It's still in beta but if anyone
