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.
Flips and rolls. What could be simpler? Push the stick over, wait for the copter to rotate 360 degrees. Done. In this lesson, we go a little deeper. Flip-ception.
