From Matrix to the Real

[SNSTRLefty]

For those who wonder if you can learn to fly a drone on a sim, the majority of my stick time was in front of the computer and some LOS flights and this is the first extended FPV flight (two batteries worth) and I chose to fly in my front yard instead of the open air of the backyard to work on my alt control and moving around obstacles.

Nice flying bro!

Nice flying bro!

I got a bit worried when I heard the car coming up the street.

I got a bit worried when I heard the car coming up the street.

I saw that lol the cars in my neighborhood are used to me flying my whoops over the road. I won't fly anything over a 100 size around traffic though, less damage if something goes wrong lol.

That's one of the big reasons I do not plan to go into the larger quads, that and I do not have to go to parks to fly. I can build all manner of tracks and courses in my yard with plenty of room to spare.

Yeah but there's something to be said about flying a 220 size 300 meters over scenic forested land that is just AWESOME! A tiny whoop with 25mW vtx just won't cut it but to each their own.

Maybe once my FPV abilities dwindle I might go for high altitude flying.

I'm thinking about getting this little guy for flying around the house and over the street in front:


The LDARC ET100. Comes with brushless motors and a 100mW vtx. Looks perfect for learning to fly in acro mode.

Nice!

This one caught my eye if/when I go brushless, the Arris x90

After watching reviews I am thinking that I will build my own to get better parts.

This is the heart I plan to insert to start.

Another vid of my run yesterday.

Impressive work. I am barely that good after 5 years. But then, I am old haha

I might build myself a micro someday but for now I've decided building these tiny machines isn't for me lol.

I just like to fly the little beasts.
