starwars pod racers irl ?

[Mudslinger]

My wife got me a drone and that led to many trips to the hobby shop . While I was there yesterday a guy told me about FPV racing ... these guys race around 1 ft off the ground at 60 -100 mph its amazing go check it out on youtube . You wear goggles that connect to the camera on your drone and give you a live feed .

Hey man trail riding and mud riding have become expensive hobbies . This fpv drone racing will be a much less expensive pastime .

are you in the drone or controlling it like a radio controlled car

cause if your not in the drone who gives a fuck, how is that fun?

As close as any of us can realistically get to flying a pod racer

As far as your brain is concerned .... your in it ( you get dizzy as heck when you do barrel rolls ) . You see only what the camera on the quad views as though Iits you hurtling through the air .
