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.
At this point in the lessons, you can basically go straight. As long as you only want to drag race, that'll be fine. But most races involve turns, so you may as well watch this video. Where you'll learn how to turn.
