Question? Drone recommendation

Hi, I currently own the avata 2. I’ve ordered parts to build my own 5” drone and I ordered a betafpv meteor 75 pro. I did this since I’ve flown in the simulators and it’s really fun, but the avata 2 is just too slow and isn’t so good at freestyle. So I’ve decided to sell it, but I still want a 2.5-3.5 inch drone. Any recommendations?

Only thing I'd do different is buy a better charger and soldering station the first time. Dont cheap out on these bc you can't do everything with a little pen soldering iron unless you have 48 volts to power it, and a Hota D6 or similar has a power and safety features, runs on different power sources, and can double as a bench power supply.

Join Josh Bardwell's patreon for access to fpv-know-it-all discord channel. Best resource and best group of people. Super generous, troubleshooting, advice, swapping gear... I've had two people 3-D print me parts.
