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 fly slowly and precisely through the "playground" track of FPV Freerider. This track is very tight and you will need careful control of the copter in order to avoid crashing. The skills you learn in slow, precise flight will help you when flying faster--for example, precise altitude control is required when flying under air gates.
