Hi guys. New to this forum but been on the Mavic forum for a little bit. Was big into drones between 2013-2015 then got out of it. Started out with an ebay'ed P1 and that was it I was hooked. Started building and flying (read: crashing) 250 class "minis" before "racing" and "freestyle" were a thing. (Remember the Blackout mini H? lol). Just got back into things now that it looks like the FAA sorta has their act together and the tech has come such a long way. I got a Mavic Air for the a/p stuff and now putting together a kit for minis ... err racing ... I mean freestyle. lol
After the Mavic Air, the "fun budget" took a bigger hit than anticipated so I need to be super stingy with my FPV stuff. I got a Dom v3 for $200 on fleabay just now (rocked the HD v1's before) and pulled the trigger on the just in stock FrSky X-Lites since I always felt that radios (former Futaba 8FG user) were too darn big being even bigger the little drones I flew lol. I'm now looking to get a pre-built Gecko or Jalupara 3 which I'll modify myself. I'd put a parts list together to get a <250g Gecko 3 together but the total $$ tally is pretty steep and honestly, I think I just want to fly and not have to dust off the old Hakko soldering station.
Wish me luck hope I don't crash. ?
