But they teach you how to actually FLY.

I started with a $200 SYMA X8G (you can now find them for around $100.) Its a DJI Look alike WITHOUT any of the DJI advanced technology. I can now Fly a drone better then Most people. (Because I had to rely on my piloting skills, not the built in drone enhancements)

Pretty Sad when someone can make a $100.00 Drone Fly circles around a $2000 DJI.

My advise is buy a CHEAP drone first and learn to actually fly using nothing but your own skills, then upgrade.


With that being said, I'm now building a Drone that will have similar capabilities of a DJI for a fraction of the cost.

No worries about language.

I have a nano drone as well. No FPV though. Probably next check. They are supposedly harder to fly because they have no features like larger drones. Although some Nanos now have headless and return to home options.

Trying to not crash into walls every minute at the moment lol and only has 3-5 min run time 25 m distance. Once I get the hang of it I'll get a vid up. Right now it would look like a roller coaster!

Mine doesn't have return home but does have a headless mode But refuse to use it and regular mode plus 360 flip forward, backward, left or right as well as 30% 60% and 100% speed. It's actually pretty easy to fly long as you don't lose track of the front but has red lights front blue on back and 0.2 mp 720p camera. Shoulda tried before the wine but oh well more interesting. Takes a beating pretty good and prop guards do their job just they knock off a little flight time (3min total with guards 5 without).

All in all best $40 I ever spent I feel like I'm 12 again :p except the wine part.

drones have so much more you can do. cars get boring after about 30min unless you have a few people lol.

the hardest question is nitro or electric. nitros sound like chainsaw's on steroids

Brushless for me, nitro has to many possible "fixes" overtime, first day I had my drone I lost it in the corn field,lmao, took me half the day, row by row, finally found it though:)
