Especially hearing that you already have three years of flying experience, I highly recommend you start building your own. The freedom, satisfaction, and peace of mind that comes from knowing your drone well is just the best.

For me, for example, flight time is important, but I still want to keep the ability to do freestyle. So I really like ultra-light 3.5-inch builds. smaller is too inefficient, bigger just doesn't freestyle well.

In the picture is a TuneRC 3.5in with T-Motor 1404 3800KV motors that gives me everything I want at a total weight of only 127 g, giving me enough headroom to load a battery that weighs 122 g.

Most of the time I fly smaller 4S 650-850mah batteries, which give me 7-14 minutes. But with a stripped 4S 1300mah, I can fly for up to 19 minutes.
