If you're new to FPV flying and unsure I can recommend getting the controller first and practicing in a simulator. it will save you a lot of money since your first crashes won't cost anything.
Lol that's a good call. Would the headset/VR make sense too? I know nothing other than the Internet people make it look easy.
it's definitely harder than it may seem in videos. but I've seen people getting the hang of it in a few sessions in the sim. I'd say it you're okay at flying in the simulator and close to actually buying a real done you could get FPV goggles and practice some more with them. it all depends on how determined you are too get into the hobby.
Good point. Right now I'm mostly focused on reading a bunch this year and my car. But winter is coming and this car doesn't do well on snow or ice.
