Anyone else fly FPV drones? I got into drones a couple years ago when I decided to 3d print one during the initial lockdown vacation. It wasn't the best, by far. Pixhawk 4 FC on Arducopter firmware, 10" props, hard to tune, crashed a lot. 6 months in, built a tiny whoop on Betaflight, crashed alot, rebuilt, tried again. Finally invested $20 into the Liftoff game on Steam, and figured out Acro flight mode. These days, practicing trippy spins on it. A few quads later, everything except the DJI Inspire 1 v2 is running ExpressLRS on Betaflight or INav firmware. Still running analog VTX, might upgrade to OpenVTX in the future. Here's my fleet.
Attached FileWith my 4" and 10" setups, I can cruise around my neighborhood, literally, with ease. Local flight rules state that I can fly over properties in transit at 250' AGL, which I only due if there's not a street path to follow. My neighborhood is outside of regulated airspace too. I do have people stop and chat sometimes when they see me outside, they all know who it is when they see me flying by. Here is a recent flight on my IFlight XL10. First turn around was at 1 mile, I've been out 1.6 miles with it, and will go further when I get more comfortable with it. Good fun, always get a thrill when I send a few hundred bucks flying far away.

What are you flying? Let's see those fleets, and videos. I've got some stunts gone wrong stuff too, on the smaller whoops.
