Your Gateway to Thrilling FPV Racing Quadcopters and Drones!
We have received new FPV racing motors: The MEPS SPACE 2306 from Mepsking. Looking fresh!, and weighing 31g, these are quite light for the size.
Get them here: https://www.mepsking.com/motors
We are looking forward to the build and will update soon!

If you’re reading this, you probably saw a cool FPV video not too long ago and thought to yourself: I want that too! Now you want to know what you need to get started (like a complete FPV beginner package, just the best beginner FPV drone) and get started right away.
Then congratulations, you have found the right place. =)
Continue reading “THE BEST BEGINNER DRONE (FOR FPV RACING OR FREESTYLE) 2023”The “Ioncraft”, a mini-drone developed in California, weighs only 30 milligrams and measures just 2×2 cm. Unlike other mini-drones, it does not fly with the help of electric motors and rotors, but with the power of ions. Due to the built-in electrohydrodynamic engines, the “Ioncraft” accelerates by the collision of ions with neutral molecules, which are ionized and accelerated by the engines in an electric field. The world’s smallest drone can be controlled similarly to other quadrocopters, but the energy supply and data communication are not yet very mature.
The installed EHD engines are to be used in the future not only in drones but also in larger flying objects. They are highly important for research, as they can be used, for example, in space research, but also in agriculture, rescue operations and environmental research.
Apart from the normal DR1 Racing League battles, there was a Off-Leage 1-on-1 race between the loudest (Alex Vanover ) and the fastest (Minchan Kim) where after an early crash of Vanover, Minchan Kim “showed off” his unbelievable racing skills.
Controlling an FPV drone is much more difficult than, for example, a DJI Phantom or DJI Mavic Pro. Finally, it is about racing equipment, which should move at the absolute limit. Information and strategies about the FPV fly and how to learn the fastest how to find a drone in the book “In 8 steps to the FPV pilot”. The book is a “how-to” for beginners and advanced.
Rotor Riot has released a new 3 “frame: the Ummagawd Acrobrat . And the frame inspires!
In the FPV scene, you can argue super: Everyone has their subjective views, why one propeller is better than the other … and the frame flies better than this. But the TS100 is different: Here, everyone seems united: the TS100 is the best FPV soldering iron! A consensus rarely experienced otherwise.
FPV Freerider is a simulator for FPV quads . With this simulator, you can practice flying very well with your spark on the computer without constantly crashing your drone. You can even use your own spark.
FPV Freerider is very simple and not necessarily the most realistic simulator in the field of aerospace physics – but it is not very demanding in terms of hardware (it even works on a mobile phone!) And unbeatably cheap ($ 5).
When successor FPV Freerider Recharged was neatly turned on the graphics screw – but then also requires a correspondingly powerful system.
An FPV AIO Cam is a small component that combines a camera, a video transmitter (VTx) and an antenna. This component only needs a power source and you can already receive the signal with FPV goggles .
Such a tiny camera can then be glued to all sorts of things and see the world from their perspective. If you can now control the whole thing (like race models or threats) you have a real “first-person perspective” experience.
