Hello FPV Friends,
So this is the first Forum that I have ever joined so sorry if I suck at this. Anyways, so I have been into the FPV drone hobby for about a year now and I LOVE THIS HOBBY! So my interest for this hobby all started after my wife got me my first drone for Christmas which was the Syma X5SW and as soon as I open the box I was hooked. Shortly after I started flying the X5SW, I started learning alot about FPV drones and all the different components to see how all this works. Within weeks I was taking apart and rebuilding the X5SW and making Mods which I really enjoyed about the Hobby. Then, about a month after I started flying, I was flying the X5SW on what I thought was a calm day. I was practicing flying FPV and only using the picture from my phone to fly and was flying great then a crazy wind gust came through and then.......You all probably know what happens next. RIP X5SW :
Well, Guess I gotta upgrade to the real thing, right? Good thing I did my homework and already had in mind which AIO RTF unit I wanted to get. So I went with the Eachine Wizard X220 AIO RTF that came with the Flysky FS I6 and holy shit! Man that was a learning curve and No i am not talking about how to learn Acro....Thats a whole different story LOL. Anyways, very happy with the Wizard especially with the whole kit coming in around $189 which is a steal considering the Wizard came with everything to get you rippin. One thing i wish I had purchased with the Wizard was of course goggles but more importantly, replacements parts because I crashed ALOT!!! Within the first 2 weeks of flying I broke a receiver, 2 VTX,s, 2 arms and a top plate....My friends started calling me Sir-Crash-Alot which fit me well at the time. As time went by I got better, purchased my first set of goggles and started flying acro which is so much easier flying FPV as opposed to line of sight. Since then I think I have developed more of a passion for building, Moding and learning about the technology that goes into these drones more than flying itself. Dont get me wrong, I still love flying but the building and tinkering thing is like a therapy for me which I am sure some of you can relate too. Thats pretty much my drone hobby in a nutshell. Anyways glad to be a part of this group and look forward to making some new friends that share the same passion and also help be a resource for new people that are just getting into this hobby!
