    Flying an fpv quadcopter. Actually the whole hobby. Not talking DJI. Building, programming and inevitably fixing them. Flying them in acro mode is not easy. Come to think of it, line of sight is even harder.

      Line of sight flying is something i can hardly comprehent. I’m not bad at it, most people are actually really impressed by it, but damn, every time i do it, i count on losing or crashing my drone and sweating my ass off the whole time.

        Haha yeah I can only LOS in acro if I’m really high up and have room to correct otherwise it has to be angle and even then I can’t really.

        It happens to 1 in 5 pilots but it’s a risk willing to take for the absolute hard-ons you get from successfully flying.
