Why Fly Long Range FPV?
With the recent release of new and more affordable radio link and FPV technology, long range FPV has been gaining traction within the FPV community more rapidly than ever before. More and more pilots are pushing their gear (and nerve!) to the outer limits in order to experience FPV in its most purest unrestricted form. No longer is the park border the final boundary, long range pilots are free to reach for the next mountain, furthest peak, or even the next township over. There’s never been a better time than now to fly long range FPV![vc_column][vc_column_text]
“Imagine if a Lamborghini and a stealth attack helicopter had a baby”
The featured frame in this build guide is the Falcon Multirotors Raggio Lungo, available directly from GetFPV here. Unsure if the Raggio Lungo is the right frame for you? Take a look at GetFPV’s ‘Beginners Guide to Long Range FPV’.
The Raggio Lungo is a TPU accesorized carbon fiber frame, naturally kitted out in full stealth black. Measuring 300mm motor to motor, the Raggio effortlessly swings both 6″ and 7″ props. Despite its rugged carbon fiber construction and roomy internals, the Raggio weighs in at just 150g, a miracle considering the sheer size of this beefy frame. Construction is straightforward and maintenance is an absolute breeze with the included inset nuts and ‘pop-top’ plate.
The selected power train is no less impressive: TMotor F40 Pro II motors swinging hyper-responsive HQ 7″ props on 6S grants the Raggio ridiculously high cruising speed and plenty of pep. The XRotor 45A 4-in-1 ensures the motors can draw the amps they deserve, while the G2 FC keeps the Raggio locked in and cruising like it’s on rails.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

- Tools: 2mm hex driver, phillips head driver, wire cutters, penknife, soldering iron
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator el_width=”50″][vc_column_text]
- Bolt a pair of motors to the two front arms with 8x M3x6 button-head screws. Slot a landing foot on to the underside of each rear motor mount. Pass an M3x10 button-head screw through each opening and bind a motor to each rearward mount.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
- Insert an M3x20 nylon screw through the mounting holes of the base plate. Place a 3mm spacer over each screw and seat the XRotor 4-in-1 firmly on the stack mount. Before soldering the motor wires to the 4-in-1, generously pre-tin the pads.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
- Measure each motor wire so that it comfortably reaches its designated pad on the 4-in1. Sever the excess wire with the wire cutters and strip the insulation with a penknife or a pair of wire strippers. Be sure to tin each wire before soldering it on to the 4-in-1. Note: When the 4-in-1 is positioned in this way, the motor numbers will not match up correctly. This can and will be fixed later on.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
- Next, cut the provided XT60 pigtail to 70mm in length and solder it on to the 4-in-1, being sure to tin the wires with ample solder.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
- Before plugging the provided JST connector into the 4-in-1, use a penknife to release the signal wires from the JST connector. Exchange signal wire one with four, and signal wire two with three. If this is not done, the motors will spin incorrectly.

With your Raggio Lungo build complete and fully functional, there’s only one thing left to do: Fly! Flying long range for the first time is always an uncomfortable experience, it takes courage to send the conglomerate of your money and time off into the wind. However, with time and experience you’ll grow to trust your rig and yourself. Eventually long range FPV will evolve into the sense of pure freedom it’s supposed to be.
The GetFPV Raggio Lungo is a truly capable long range rig, none have expressed that better than GetFPV’s Sozo. Sozo’s flights with the Raggio are truly inspiring – combining imposing South African scenery with smooth, gliding lines.
