It has been a deciding factor in why I chose my degree program and began my love for aviation. The hobby sector has also lead to all developments of modern drone technology, and without us this technology would have gotten nowhere. Taking away the opportunity for people to experiment and learn on their own time

This hobby saved my life. I was suicidally depressed, then found FPV, and it brought me back. I met others, locally and online, made friends, and spent hours doing something that brought me great joy.

Flying drones gives me a chance to leave the ground and forget about the daily struggles of life, I find it relaxing and peaceful. As someone who struggles finding value in myself, it is one of my coping methods to be able to live with myself. At points it is hard (being fairly new and

I first started flying RC planes with my family as a teenager. As an adult I discovered quadcoters. They give me a easy way to relax after a rough week. Exploring my backyard like a bird and looking at things from a different point of view. It gives me a hobby that I can go
