I was pretty into flying back when whoops were new but stopped for financial reasons. Recently, friend got his license and I caught the bug again watching his videos.

Got this Mobula7 and have been having a blast. My old box headset has an awful receiver but I got a crazy deal on some Fat Sharks that should be here soon.

I also just moved to a place much better for flying - I can fly to a park without passing any private property.

I've been binging Joshua Bardwell's videos and, of course, already thinking about what I want to buy next. Thinking about a monitor or a second cheap headset for other people to watch.

I haven't geeked out this much on a new (or rediscovered) hobby in awhile and instead of spamming my friend, I decided to post here and maybe get this community going.

Anyone else on Lemmy into quadcopters/FPV?

Dude, you gotta try digital. The range is insane and the lag is barely noticeable unless you’re like a mile out.

I didn’t start flying til COVID, so I was already flying brushless, but digital was still newish and the configurators kept getting more robust.

Battery efficiency seems to be the lagging tech.

What are you using? Would you recommend it?

I don’t fly much anymore. Last I was flying a custom digital build on Marmotte frame. I would recommend that frame but probably some better ones out there now.
