The FPVisionary webstore (currently closed) has its origins in the increased popularity of FPV Drones. Having discovered the Tiny Whoop myself thanks to Jesse Perkins, I instantly realized that it is the best way to share the FPV quad racing hobby with everyone. Though my background is in videogames, FPV has given me a breath of fresh air that really swept me off my feet and this webshop is a way for me to finance the hobby while I continue to explore what's possible. My services mainly expanded towards giving workshops and teaching FPV piloting to newcomers in the hobby. The result is having taught 1200+ people how to fly FPV using a self-developed technique that gets anyone from 8 to 60+ years old into the air (and keeps them there) in less than 10 minutes on average.
