Drone Builds

I took a 2-year break from fixed wings, it’s about time for a new build. Portability and efficiency have always been the most important considerations in planes for me, and the Hee Wing T1 Ranger…

In this comprehensive tutorial, I’ll walk you through the process of building an FPV drone from scratch, providing detailed guidance for both analogue and digital FPV systems. We’ll cover everything from selecting the right components,…

The Eachine Tyro79 Pro is possibly the cheapest 4S 3-inch FPV drone kit you can buy in 2022. It comes with all the components required except the RX and LiPo. It’s a pretty good kit…

I broke an arm on my GEPRC Smart 3.5″ drone when testing the GoPro Hero10 Bone. It was impossible to get a replacement bottom plate in Europe (it’s a unibody design), the only option was…

I’ve always wanted a micro park flyer that can carry the Naked GoPro, so I converted a 3″ ultralight FPV drone (toothpick). The AUW is only 135g and it hovers at 20% throttle. It’s so…

This week I am building the BetaFPV X-Knight 5″ Toothpick – a 6S 5-inch FPV drone under 250g including battery, using the X-Knight frame and some other components from BetaFPV.

I saw this interesting 1S 3-inch FPV drone using 18650 Li-Ion cell for long range, and I had to give it a try. I will share my rather unsuccessful attempt and what you can learn…

A few weeks ago I built the Umma85 cinewhoop – a 104g FPV drone carrying the decased GoPro Hero 6. This time I am building a slightly larger version with bigger propellers and Caddx Vista…

Imagine having a 100g micro drone that’s capable of shooting GoPro quality video… Well, dream has come true! In this post I will show you how I built a drone that carries the GoPro Hero…

So this is the first time I build a “toothpick” style micro quad from scratch and not buying a pre-built kit :) This should be fun as I get to choose my own hardware!

This week I am building a new 5″ quad that runs 6S LiPo. The goal of this build is to test new technologies of a few products, and new features in Betaflight. There are new…

It’s time to build another 3″ quad! This time I will be using parts mostly from HGLRC – the first time I am checking out their products.
