5in FPV drone out for flying.
My wall of drones.
11-26-21 trying to get the trick then cutout.AVIOne of my freestyle clips.
Built many custom FPV drones from a tiny 75mm prop quad to a "full size" Freestyle 5in drone.
I fly (and crash) all of the drones I build. Like skateboarding but in the sky.
Built a set of cinematic FPV drones for Renegade Content Creation.
I'm constantly upgrading and repairing the drones.
