Without her flying goggles on, she was a smart and depressed working-class 24-year-old who wasn’t sure what her life would hold.

@Chris: Anytime!
Nice story. Thanks for posting it.
It is a shame that she was unable to continue competing due to incorrectly mapped RC channels. I once made the same error while making quick changes to a micro 250 and had to put the drone down with my bare hands. It is an easy mistake to make.
Nice!
Wow so inspiring!
