I Spent a Year Building This Custom FPV Drone

I thought building this custom drone would be quick and easy.
Instead, it took a full year, a lot of self-doubt, and a handful of people who pushed me to keep going.

This video isn’t just about building a drone - it’s about outgrowing the tools I was comfortable with, stepping into a new side of FPV drones, and finally flying something I was honestly scared of for a long time..

From my first major drone event, to crashes, setbacks, late-night builds, and a few unexpected moments along the way… this is the journey that led to my first real 5-inch flight.

There were A LOT of people involved with this video, and I just want to take a moment to say thank you to those...
- Ken & FlyZoneFPV for being so cool
- My sweet GF Lilly for always supporting me
- QuadMafia for the custom drone frame
- SeajayeFPV & Thomas for being bad*ss
- CesarFPV for being a true homie & friend
- Gfil for the GoPro 3D Print
- SpacemanFPV for helping me pick parts
- Yaros for Troubleshooting with me
- More importantly, you, as the viewer for watching & supporting ❤️
