"KITAs,
I am excited that you have brought drones back to Know How! I watched when you did drones in 2015, but only recently have I been getting very much into designing and building my own. I started with the trainer you suggested and have graduated to 250 and 450 class quads, but now I want FPV.
I've been looking at some options and they all look either too expensive or too complicated. I'm not sure if I want goggles, because I actually like to SEE my drone in addition to being able to see FROM the drone. What are my options and what would you suggest for a budget of ~$200?"
