A Good Day, Flite Fest West Day 1

Drone racing is difficult and requires a high level of focus and skill. At a certain point, there's also a lot of luck or bad luck involved. Some races pilots get midaired multiple times and have no chance to compete. Other races, drones bounce off of gates, the ground, and other people and still manage to finish the race. Today was a good day for me, but I was also lucky. No mid-airs, I bounced off the ground and also off of a gate and managed to recover both times (knock on wood)!

This is the final heat of the evening. I took first place! Had a blast and hope my luck continues through the weekend. Hope to see you out there.
