This series of lessons uses the free FPV Freerider simulator to teach a complete beginner how to fly an FPV multirotor in acro (no autoleveling) mode. You can learn to fly a quadcopter at home in front of your computer for almost no money. You can learn to fly without any fear of crashing and breaking an expensive toy. And yes, the things you learn here WILL translate over to real life.
In this lesson, you will learn to land very precisely on a specific location. The ability to land on a bullseye or right next to your feet certainly impresses other pilots. In some events, pilots are required to land on a specific pad in order to avoid disqualification. These skills are also useful when doing very close proximity maneuvers such as flying slowly through tight gaps.
