Drone racing is tough and I've been wanting to do a little coaching series for a while to help beginners progress in this sport. What better way to start it then to have the US National Champ himself on my channel to share his ways and insights while coaching a nub like myself.

If you find this usful, make sure to let me know in the comments! If you have suggestions on how I can improve the format for you, the viewer, please don't be shy on letting me know so I can improve them in the future.

**I use affiliate links where possible! You don't have to click them, you can just google the parts you see down below but if you DO click them below and purchase something I earn some pocket change for the referral. Costs you nothing extra but it can add up to help me cover stuff like props! Thanks for the support :)
