AV Focus: Jesse Perkins and the Tiny Whoop Revolution

As FPV racing drones have become more accessible, consumers have become further intrigued by the tiny flying machines. However, not everyone wants to fly a 90mph, carbon fiber drone through their backyard. So, the folks at Horizon Hobby created a consumer-friendly, "toy" type drone that everyone could fly and called it the Blade Inductrix. Professional pilots and hobbyists alike loved the micro-sized drones, but the pros wanted more. That's where our story begins. Hear the story behind the Tiny Whoop craze from the company who created the first micro drone and the man who has become synonymous with Whoopin, Jesse Perkins.
