RC flight updated and adjusted

Progress
Since my first post I have taken many steps forward in order to prepare for the I2 showcase. I have been forced to make adjustments to my calendar, due to how challenging FPV (First Person View) flight is. So far, I have practiced flying FPV with my new quad and FPV Freerider Free. I continued flying from a 3rd person perspective, learning and practicing to hover from different perspectives (having the drone face sideways and inwards in relation to me rather than always outward) and how to properly “bank turn”. Bank turning isn’t your average “yaw” turn, in simpler terms it is a term “using only the rudder”. A bank turn requires you to simultaneously use the roll (control of movement from side to side or aileron) and yaw (control of the rudder) while moving forward. I have also begun testing a hexacopter in compliment to my U32 and Q4. I also was gifted a GoPro Hero 3 by my mother’s gracious friend to go with my Hero 3+ to make tutorials with. Along with all of this I used the tools at Maker Club to turn a milk crate into a quad case.
