I've been wanting to get into a new hobby but damn hobbies can be expensive. But it's giving me a sense of excitement I haven't had in a while and it breaks up the monotony of the working grind.

The one I'm trying to get into is homemade FPV drones. Building from scratch, just like building a PC. Sourcing the frame, motor, electronics. Soldering and configuring. Flight testing and tinkering. More fun I think than just buying an off-the-shelf DJI Mavic.

The parts themselves don't cost all that much but it adds up fast.
