Flying FPV drones is a way for me to channel my energy into something good. After two combat tours to Afghanistan, this community almost gives me the same comradery feeling that you get from the military. I’m not sure I’d be able to continue flying if the FAA continues to enforce such restrictive rules on
Im 17 years old – and yeah, let’s face it. I’m still a kid, I’ve always loved technology and building things with my dad – amateur electronics and amateur radio have led me into this hobby, one which I can excel in and enjoy myself – thankfully, I will not have to live with the
