/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1732821
The advantage of building your own is you can make it do exactly what you want, fixing it is easier since you bought the parts ad assembled it yourself, you can get better performance for a lower price, and the satisfaction of doing it yourself.
Disadvantages being, it takes a decent amount of reading, and you can easily waste money on bad parts or ones that don’t work together.
I personally enjoy freestyle FPV and have competed in a few local drone race events. Any other “toy grade” upgrades will likely be outgrown or thrown in a box in your attic after a few weeks but I haven’t heard of anyone giving up the hobby after building themselves a legit freestyle/race rig.
