    My son and I got into the Drone world last summer. We had 5 at one point. but back down to jjust two at the moment: 5 inch custom build, and a BetaFPV Air75, both analog. The tiny whoop Air75 is by far much more fun for us (small neighborhood, small back yard, can fly it indoors). The 5" is super cool, but wereally have to only fly it in bigger areas, which we just don't get out and do often. Future plan is to get a couple HD whoops, DJI o4 lite, and some used DJI goggles.

      The build process was my absolute favorite part... maybe eve more than actually flying

        Want to try and get back into RC flying, specifically with a BetaFPV Meteor75. For now I've just been flying in some sims with a Radiomaster Pocket. I'm decent at flying, but my worry is my attention span. I can typically only go ~5-10min in a sim before I want to switch to something else. Is this common with other people in sims vs flying in real life? I worry it may not actually be for me.

          Well, you are in luck ChillswitchEngage. A 1S LiHV battery on your Meteor75 is going to last you about 5 to 7 minutes. This works out great for me too, because then I can land and pull the goggles off, fiddle with something or take a drink, and then plug in a new battery for another 5 minutes or so.
