    Hello folks.

    For reasons unrelated to this post I believe everyone should get into the FPV drone hobby. People with minimal constitution can get great results - especially gamers!

    A radio controller is about $150, and can be used with many great simulators on steam. Once you are comfortable with the simulation, invest in a (few) drones. Most of their parts can be 3D printed for cheap, and the rest bought from Chinese companies for cheap.

    It is a lot of fun to fly around in the first person view. I hear they are very popular in Ukraine for some reason.

      Funny you should make this suggestion. I’ve been having a grand time figuring out how to make drones, can confirm it’s great fun for the whole family.

      What if i wanted to combine my two favorite hobbies of guns and drones? How would I go about fusing them in some kind of way?
