The latest version of Betaflight Configurator (2026.6) introduces a very useful feature: the FC Alignment Wizard. It can automatically determine the correct flight controller orientation for you, so you no longer have to manually calculate …

1S 3inch builds have become some of my favourites over the last few years, partly because drone regulations keep getting tighter. These builds are typically under 50g, very quiet, and do not need much space …

A multimeter is one of the first tools you should get when getting into FPV, or any electronics related projects. In this tutorial, I’ll explain how to use a multimeter and how to “test your …

It might not be immediately obvious to beginners, since most pilots only use a handful of channels, but there are actually over 100 channels across the 5.8GHz frequency spectrum when you combine analogue and digital …

Propellers are a critical component of any FPV drone, and understanding the basics is essential for getting started in the hobby. The right propellers can make your drone fly faster, smoother, and more efficiently, while …

Losing an FPV drone is one of those things every pilot hopes will never happen, but sooner or later it probably will. The good news is that there are many ways to improve your chances …

If you want to learn how to build an FPV drone, this page brings together some of my best FPV projects, build logs, tutorials in one place. Whether you are building your first Tiny Whoop, a …

SoftSerial is one of those Betaflight features that sounds more complicated than it really is. It can create extra virtual UARTs in Betaflight and this can be very useful on flight controllers with only a …

Resource remapping is a powerful Betaflight feature that lets you change which processor pins are used for certain functions on your flight controller, such as motor outputs, servos, LED strips, SoftSerial and more. It can …

In FPV drones, the electrical wiring and connectors play a crucial role in ensuring that the drone operates efficiently and safely. In this tutorial, we will cover everything you need to know about electrical wires …

LiPo battery balance connectors can easily get damaged by spinning propellers, especially on FPV drones where the balance lead is often dangling around. A damaged balance connector should be dealt with immediately. Exposed wires or …

Choosing motors for an FPV drone can seem confusing at first. There are many motor sizes and KV ratings to choose from, you need to consider which propeller sizes they support, and there are countless …
