I've created a video series that shows even a total beginner how to build an FPV quadcopter. The videos show every single step of building and setting up the drone, in the kind of meticulous (but still easy to follow) detail that I'm known for. If you've got any questions, JB is monitoring the YouTube comments, and there is a Discord server chat channel for more immediate help.
