    Tbf if your good they aren’t wasting your time with recruitment.

    That said, why this guy thought that was a good idea… Idk. Best case by being silly he’s lowkey telling them to not join.

    I have the same technique when I fly my drones indoors. Lucky for everyone I’m not in the armed services as a drone pilot though.

        It’s wayyy easier to fly LOS than FPV when you’re indoors, especially with a quad this size

          A tiny whoop maybe, but a full size one like this?

          Mind you, I was a terrible pilot when I had one of these. I bought one that was specifically meant to be hard to break, and I still managed to wreck it after a few flights. It’s an expensive hobby, if you suck!

            Yeah man, FPV in a tight space is hard as hell and the bigger the quad, the smaller the space feels! LOS is almost always way easier if you can see it…assuming it’s obvious which way is forward

            And don’t beat yourself up, crashes happen so it’s an expensive hobby even if you DON’T suck.

            If you ever want to get back into it, a mobula or meteor is like $100 and you can get a radiomaster pocket for $55. Throw in some batteries and you’re flying for under $200!

              You like LOS better? I felt like more of my video game motor skills transfer over better with FPV.

              I haven’t shopped around for a quad in a while, but I still love the idea of that freedom, the pure movement of it. Looks like the old whoop style is still around… Tempting!

                Oh no no, I almost exclusively fly FPV. I’m just saying LOS is way easier than FPV indoors

    Lmao been there, dude. I’ve taken several chunks of drywall out of my ceiling with quad, albeit never at THAT speed.
