    Hey, the video was made very well, the manual is really a little difficult to read haha, but I will give this suggestion to my colleagues in our department to improve it. Next time, it may be better to do something simple for you, for other friends who are building frame for the first time!
    Finally, thank you for your video and feedback, I appreciate it and thank you for liking our frame.

    I am beyond thrilled to take a moment to celebrate your incredible achievement in building your very own FPV drone. From the moment you embarked on this journey, it was evident that you were driven by a passion for innovation and a thirst for knowledge. Now, as you stand proudly beside your creation, I am filled with admiration and pride for all that you have accomplished.
    Your journey into the world of FPV drone building is a testament to your determination and ingenuity. I watched as you meticulously researched every component, from the frame to the flight controller, ensuring that each piece was carefully chosen to meet your exact specifications. Your dedication to understanding the intricacies of each part and how they work together is truly commendable.
    But it wasn't just your technical skills that impressed me; it was your unwavering perseverance in the face of challenges that truly set you apart. Building a drone from scratch is no small feat, and yet you approached each obstacle with a sense of resilience and optimism that is truly inspiring. Whether it was troubleshooting a wiring issue or fine-tuning the PID settings, you tackled each problem head-on, never once losing sight of your goal.
    And through it all, you have emerged not only as a skilled drone builder but also as a master problem solver. Your ability to think critically and creatively has been honed through countless hours spent tinkering and experimenting, and the knowledge you have gained along the way is invaluable. You have proven time and time again that with determination and perseverance, anything is possible.
    But perhaps what I admire most about you is your willingness to share your knowledge and expertise with others. From offering advice to fellow hobbyists to documenting your build process for others to learn from, you have become a valued member of the FPV community. Your generosity knows no bounds, and I have no doubt that you will continue to inspire and uplift those around you for years to come.
    In closing, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations on this incredible achievement. Building your first FPV drone is no small feat, and yet you have not only risen to the challenge but surpassed all expectations. Your passion, dedication, and resilience are an inspiration to us all, and I cannot wait to see where this journey takes you next.

    Greetings from Spain, I was looking to create a 3-inch drone that was powerful, stable, and balanced. I really appreciate your video, it's a great job, very good editing and good piloting. I'm currently buying parts little by little to build mine. I subscribe, keep it up! And one last question, years ago I flew analog FPV. My biggest fear is the latency of digital, is the latency really noticeable?
