Attending a club FPV drone racing event is a major aspect of the FPV hobby. It is an excellent competitive and social activity with a welcoming environment. The opportunity to converse and race with other pilots is perhaps the best way of immersing yourself in the FPV hobby. Before you attend your first FPV drone…
Investing in batteries for your multirotor can be an expensive proposition, and one that can be ruined by not properly caring for them. Lithium polymer batteries are some of the most powerful batteries available but are also some of the most sensitive. They definitely have a finite life span, making them one of the consumable…
Having all the gear you need with you, without packing too much extraneous stuff can sometimes be a little bit of trial and error. However, using a simple, printable FPV Checklist for different event types and situations can help you stay organized.
Despite the ruggedness and durability of quadcopters they are full of very sensitive electronics and they are often used in less than forgiving environments. Would you take your home computer half the places you end up putting your quad and still expect it to work? One of the biggest enemies of electronics is moisture, depending…
Why would you want to ‘uninvert’ the inverted FrSky SBUS or smartport signal from your receiver? There are four different kinds of processor chips used in our multicopter flight controllers: F1, F3, F4 and F7. F1 and F4 processors are “older” processors and do not have inbuilt inverters to rectify raw inverted FrSky SBUS signals.…
The key feature of FPV is being able to see from your multirotor as if you were really there, right in the driver’s seat, experiencing the view in the first person. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how hard you crash!) we can’t truly experience the view first hand and we rely on cameras and video…

One of the most frustrating obstacles to overcome are the countless breakages you will make to your multirotor as you not only learn to fly, but learn to build as well. Do not be discouraged! Within this guide you will find drone build advice…
Ryan Lademann from Quad Star Drones (formally Down and Dirty Drones) is currently prepping to make a run at the FPV multirotor speed record. The record set back in July of 2017 by the Drone Racing League (DRL) with their RacerX. The speed of the RacerX as recorded by the Guinness World Records was 165.3…
Help! My FPV Workbench is a Mess! Throughout my time in the FPV hobby, I have seen many messy workbenches. I often wonder how the very talented pilots out there make it through a build with any kind of efficiency, much less without losing components among the chaos. I would like to share my method…
The new BrainFPV Radix line of flight controller and power board comes from Martin Luessi and BrainFPV. I had the opportunity to put these much anticipated boards to the test, and will cover my experiences with them, from building them into the multirotor to setting them up and flying.
