This series of lessons uses the free FPV Freerider simulator to teach a complete beginner how to fly an FPV multirotor in acro (no autoleveling) mode. You can learn to fly a quadcopter at home in front of your computer for almost no money. You can learn to fly without any fear of crashing and breaking an expensive toy. And yes, the things you learn here WILL translate over to real life.
When you learn to ski, you learn to "pizza" your skis into a V shape in order to slow down. This lesson is the equivalent of that, for your racing drone. The Safety Position involves facing the copter in the direction you are going and pitching back to slow down. If you start to lose control of your copter, this technique will help you get control back without crashing.
