I challenged my sister to learn a new skill outside her comfort zone and taught her to fly FPV drones in only 4 hours of simulator before giving her a real drone to fly.
She is currently studying medicine and it turns out she can learn new things quickly.

She flew a BabyApe 3-inch drone from DarwinFPV, my first drone to fly FPV. I'm so happy that I have found a way to repurpose it as I was not flying it much lately.
Setup used:
PC:
- Intel Core I9 10900KF
- Asus ROG Strix RTX3090 OC
Simulator:
- Lifroff Simulator ( Steam )
RC Controller:
- TBS Tango 2
Drone:
- DarwinFPV BabyApe - upgraded with TBS 4in1 AIO
FPV gear:
- Fatshark HDO2 FPV goggles
- ImmersionRC RapidFIRE Module
She did unexpectedly well after only 4 hours of simulator and absolutely zero experience in this hobby. For reference, it took me 10 hours to feel comfortable flying in ACRO mode, and this with years of experience on an RC controller.
