Take It From the World Champ
Evan Turner says that,”flying one of these drones is an exhilarating experience, it’s like nothing you’ve ever done before. The best way to learn how to fly an FPV drone is to get on a simulator. Save up a little bit more, to invest in some better products and then use that time that you’re saving up to just practice a little bit more in the simulator.”
