Everything we wish someone had told us when we started flying FPV in Kenya — how to learn, what it costs, the legal side, and where the skill can take you. All free, all grounded in how we actually train pilots in Nairobi.
The complete beginner's roadmap — what FPV is, the 5 steps from zero to paid work, how long it takes and what it costs. If you only read one, read this.
Yes, it's harder than a DJI — and that's the point. Here's what's actually difficult, how long it really takes, and why the simulator makes it very learnable.
A clear 2026 price breakdown — from a KES 3,500 taster to the full 12-week Pilot Track — and why it costs a fraction of a commercial licence course.
One teaches you to fly; the other lets you fly for money. The difference, who needs which, and the smart order to do them in.
The simulator-first method for those smooth cinematic dive shots and freestyle lines — the gear, the 12-week path, and how long until you're good.
The rules in plain English — registration, the RPL, where you can and can't fly, and why FPV legally needs a visual observer. With a verify-with-KCAA note.
Film, weddings, real estate, sport, tourism and inspection — where the demand is, and how trained FPV pilots turn the skill into paid work.
Try a KES 3,500 taster or reserve a seat in Cohort 1 — starts 20 Oct 2026, only 8 seats.
