As the title says I’ve wanted to get into drones for some time and build my own. Recently figured I’d buy the controller and learn on sims first, but damn the controller seems so expensive since last time I checked.

I was told to go for the best for future proof and landed in TX16S Mark II Max Radio Controller (M2) but at £250 I don’t think I can justify that as the goggles will be expensive too although drone parts should be more reasonable. But what if I get bored etc.

That’s the thing. It is affordable, just not sure if it’s justifiable if that makes sense.

Say I do enjoy it and it’s a hobby I keep for decades, then spending it on a cheaper one first would cost more in the long run. But then if I don’t get hooked then I’m stuck with an expensive one. Now I’m overthinking.
