I Built My First 5" FPV Drone... and It Was Brutal

After months of flying a Cinewhoop and making endless repairs, I decided it was finally time to build my first 5" FPV drone. Following Mr. Steele’s iconic Apex build (with some key modifications), I set out to assemble, bind, and fly my first real freestyle quad. It didn't go smoothly... but it did finally fly.

In this video: watch the full process — from first solder to first crash, to a new drone, knife edge gaps, and surviving the brutal learning curve of FPV drones.
