Being Bad at FPV Is Exactly How You Get Good!

BetaFPV Meteor 65 Pro II: https://tinyurl.com/36c6j873 Soldering Iron: https://amzn.to/4z91coI Conformal Coating: https://amzn.to/4yyj3FP I suck at FPV. And today I am going to prove it — and then prove why that is actually a good thing. I blew a motor wire trying to freestyle something outside of my skill level. I had a mountain graveyard of broken drones sitting on my desk with no idea how to fix half of them. So I did what anyone would do — I figured it out anyway. In this video I swap an O4 Wide air unit out of my Pavo Fempto into my Meteor 65 Pro II, conformal coat multiple quads for the first time, race with a crew using a Rotor Hazard timing system, guerilla whoop through the Saint Vincent Jewelry District in downtown LA, catch a drone that almost went through a window, and then fly the bucket list dive I have been wanting to do since Day One. The US Bank Tower. All three quads. Mission success. This video is for everyone who feels overwhelmed by FPV. For everyone who has a broken drone sitting on the shelf because they are scared to fix it. For everyone who thinks they are too bad at this to keep going. Keep going.
