Replied to hangtime FPV

@cmueller
I absolutely believe that. It's hard when some senses tell your brain, that you are moving one way and other senses tell a totally different story. At least the road looks quite straight. Nevertheless, I can absolutely comprehend the feeling you must have experienced.

I still can remember my first two or three flights, where I had the feeling that on some faster movements I will fall over any second.

So maybe let's create a tip for #FPV beginners:

Take a seat for your first flights to remove the feeling of falling over. You are already quite busy handling the drone itself and it doesn't help to also have to fight with your own balance.

And if you really need to stand for the first few flights, then make sure that you have a really good and secure stand before you take off.
