I fly FPV too. Why don't you get/try some simulators, connect your radio to your PC and practice that way? Some sims are extremely good and realistic. We can't all be pro pilots, but what matters is that we have fun, even more so if we do it with other friends. But at least using simulators, you could practice even if it is for just a little, everyday. That's what I'm planning to do during the winter, so that when the new racing season comes I have my skills sharp.

I used one at the beginning but it feels like computer game. It helped me very little. I prefer to use that time on other things, maybe design and build another custom quad. The skills will improve to some point at its own time. The simulator don't give the trill at all.
In my case and also a friend of mine, the sims were what gave me the necessary skills to do my first flight and we both did it without crashing. But everyone is different. What works for some, doesn't work for others. But I know what you mean about the thrill and I agree with that. The adrenaline pumping when you fly the real thing is a unique feeling.
Ha, I crashed a lot :) I even sunk one of my quads with gopro camera in the sea :( Still crashing more than my friend who I fly with. Maybe I will revisit this idea with simulator. They probably improved since my last try.
It depends on the simulator. I mainly use freerider, freerider recharged and hot props. I tried the DRL one and I hated it. In the others, I had to really tweak the configurations to get them to behave like it's supposed to...
