i lost my shit when he went under the train that was wild.

Looks like a fun hobby to get into and you get some really cool footage. The stuff they did at super unknown this year with them was pretty cool. I know i would fuck it up though, wonder how long it takes to get decent at it..

I was never really interested. I thought it was pretty boring to watch it fly around.

Now that they have super nice cameras and have the heads-up display I want to give em a rip.

Did you see the FPV from Superunknown? Jonny Durst is wicked good with these drones, seemed pretty fun looking to me.

The drones themselves are relatively cheap. You supposedly can build one for $100. It's the controller and goggles that will break your bank.

Yup. I've been building gas powered models for 10ish years, and raced drones for a few. Tons of fun, but I got out of the drone stuff because I didn't enjoy all the computer stuff still involved. And it was getting pretty expensive for a kid. If you are getting started, it is a good idea to buy a small ready to fly one that you can fly around the house, and build a larger one for freestyle/racing. Building can have a steeper learning curve, but at the end of the day, it means that you will be able to repair your drone, which ypu will definetly be doing. Shoot me a pm if you have any further questions man!
