Back in 2015, FPV mini quads were just starting to take off—literally and figuratively. In this video, I take you back to where it all began: building, crashing, learning, and flying my first racing drone when the hobby was still in its early days. 🛠️🚁
I’ll share how I discovered FPV, what racing drones looked like back then, and how both the tech and community have evolved over the years. Whether you’re brand new to FPV or a longtime pilot, I hope this nostalgic trip brings back some memories—or sparks some new interest.
📅 2015 was wild. Let’s rewind.
🙏 Special Thanks
Huge shoutout to Oscar Liang—my go-to fountain of knowledge since day one. Your work has helped so many of us get off the ground (literally).
