  This actually sounds kinda fun.

  And as an uppermiddleclass white guy aged 24-39, I feel like I clearly need to own a drone even if I can't articulate why.

  It's worth noting that FPV flying is effectively illegal in Australia.

    Can I fly using FPV (first person view) goggles?
    The emergence of quadcopters, first person view (FPV) headsets and improved live video technology has resulted in exciting new sports flying, such as drone racing. By wearing the FPV headset, the remote pilot is placed within their quadcopter’s virtual cockpit, giving them the exact view that would be seen from their aircraft. The pilot no longer uses direct visual line of sight as their primary means of controlling the drone, rather utilising a live video downlink from a camera fixed to the aircraft.
    The limitation of this view is a loss of situational awareness as the pilot is no longer able to see their surrounding environment, and therefore cannot see possible safety threats, such as approaching members of the public. The ability to recover from an emergency situation, either due to pilot error or a systems failure, is also greatly diminished as the pilot may not be able to re-acquire the aircraft visually with sufficient speed to prevent a crash. Overall, wearing FPV headsets also does not allow the pilot to directly view their drone, which the visual line of sight rules discussed above.
    So does FPV flying now become an illegal flying activity? Not quite – in some circumstances FPV flying is permitted, provided several conditions are met. At the time of this blog, CASA has provided exemption EX138/16 to allow the use of FPV technology. However, a number of strict conditions apply:

    The exemption only applies to members of the Model Aeronautical Association of Australia (MAAA); and
    The member must comply with the MAAA’s “First Person View (FPV) Policy” (MOP066)”. The MAAA’s policy provides many guidelines, including weight, distance and height limitations, approval from the land owner, the use of a second person as an observer, the deployment of race officials and helpers, and failsafe procedures.

      I understand the intent of those laws, but there really needs to be an exemption for tiny, short range, low weight drones like this. The rules were clearly designed with relatively heavy, very fast brushless racing drones in mind.

      As it is, you'd only really be able to fly this inside if you care about the letter of the law.
