  • “Fpv drones are for rich people”

    You can get into flying whoops for like $250, and if you wait it out you can spend that over the course of months:

    1. Radiomaster pocket and a free sim ($60)
    2. Cheap box goggles down the line to improve the sim and use once you get your qwad ($50 - $100)
    3. When you finally don’t suck you can get a mobula3 or whatever for like another $120, now you’re flying FPV

    FFS, one of the most prevalent YouTube fpv channels of all time started out while the guy running it was squatting out in a box car and dealing with serious substance abuse issues.

    I’ve spent far more money on old eBay servers and weed over the years. But no one calls you rich for smoking dope or playing with Linux on EoL hardware…
