I own the Liftoff simulator but sadly do not use it as often as I should.
The NewBeeDrone Hummingbird v3.1 drone is getting alot of praise as a tiny whoop racing drone, that is seen if you search "hummingbird drone" on youtube. I purchased one and I am using it as a simulator replacement;Â you fly it inside, in a backyard, or a parking lot, etc and a proper flying field is not needed.
"The $89.99 Drone That's Changing the Race Game // 16.4 Grams // HummingBird v3.1 RS"

It is fully aerobatic and its extreme light weight allows it to be an amazing aerobat as the power loops and other stunts in the video below demonstrate. The flying sequences are so fast that I thought the video recording on the goggles had been sped up, but if you look at the timer shown in the video you can confirm the video runs at normal speed.
The hummingbird does cost more than the Liftoff sim; as well as USD90 for the drone, I had to buy analog goggles -
I chose Cobra X goggles (https://oscarliang.com/skyzone-cobra-s-x-fpv-goggles/)
and 300mah 1S HV lipos with a connector that suits the hummingbird, and a 1S charger.
I reckon its a good way to practice/develop aerobatic skills and way more fun than a sim.
