TIP I would go back and tell my past self, -> DVR is recording the OSD Install a GPS and make sure your DVR is recording the OSD. BF's GPS rescue has come a long way in that past couple years, but on the chance that the battery runs out before the drone is able to make it home, or something else goes wrong, having the last known GPS coordinates, might save you a drone.

Flew fixed wing for years, picked up fpv a couple years back, never touched a sim. I'm not a freestyle super star but I can fly to the point that makes me happy, and I'm 55. But with the cost of things in this economy a sim is probably a good start.

Nice summary. One I would add is fpv is so immersive that in the beginning I lost spatial awareness of where I was in relation to the drone. In other words, I sent it to the other side of a mountain from where I was standing. I'm glad I started with the dji fpv as it triggered the RTH function and I didn't lose it. Now I'm always aware but it took me a few times to remember.

Number one tip. Buy what You can afford and spares and batts and just go fly on an open field with medium grass for softening the crashes. The more you fly in real life scenarios the more your brain will learn. Challenge yourself. Do racing or some simple course. Gaps. Chase some driftcars. Do some bando. Have fun. Know the law.

Would it be a good idea to start off with a drone like the Tiny Hawk 2/3 Freestyle, maybe a cinewhoop like the Meteor 75, or should I just go all in with a 5” freestyle?
@DanielJohnFPVАй бұрын
Some positives and negatives there. First off, I've never flown them so take that into consideration. I've heard that all of those drones are a blast to fly, but sometimes tinywhoops can actually be HARDER to fly than a 5". You are less likely to damage stuff and the drone itself because they weigh less, but tiny whoops also ship with analog VTXs. If you want to eventually get into HD VTXs, then HD goggles will be a big expense down the line. You may be able to use the same controller though which would be helpful. I know that isn't the most helpful lol. Ask yourself: will you want to get a 5" eventually? Because if so, it may be "cheaper" to just rip the bandaid off now.
