Hi there, my name is Teng (aka. Junebug fpv) and my husband is Shaun Taylor (aka. Nytfury fpv). We went to MultiGP’s International Open in Muncie, Indiania last week and it was amazing.
I know A LOT of people couldn’t make it to this event for various reasons, I hope this video can help you feel a little more connected. I know it’s quite long and might be a little boring, but I wanted to share these moments to reflect all aspects of drone racing. Drone racing is a lot of fun, but it is also a lot of work. We make many sacrifices to keep doing what we are doing, and I would love to keep sharing our journey with you guys. I hope you will consider subscribing to my channel and share if you can π
