Someone commented on one of my recent videos that everyone they show the footage to thinks it's a quad. So I thought I'd share a little more of what this thing can do!

This is VENOM, my fully 3D-printed V-tail FPV wing. After weeks of designing, printing and flight testing, I've finally got it flying exactly how I imagined.

I designed it specifically for this kind of low-level flying. It's epic for a relaxed, flowy cruise or for throwing it around doing acro. It's a really capable little airframe, and I feel like I'm only starting to scratch the surface of what it can do as I improve my own piloting skills!

One of the things I love about FPV wings compared to quads is just how chilled out the flying can be. You can sit back, enjoy the cruise and let the aircraft carry its energy through the turns. These planes really suit a smooth, flowing style of flying, but when you want to push them, they're surprisingly agile too.

VENOM Specs:

• Wingspan: 600mm
• Flying weight: 249g
• Airframe: 3D-printed LW-PLA
• Motors: Twin 1103
• Battery: 2S 1000mAh LiHV
• FPV: DJI O4 Wide
• Flight controller: INAV
• Controls: Elevons + V-tail ruddervators
• Flight time: 6–9 minutes of sporty flying

It's been a really rewarding project, especially seeing all the aerodynamic design work and experimentation with the control surfaces translate into something that's so much fun to fly.

Any quad pilots here tempted to give fixed-wing FPV a try?

It would make sense to me if they were free floating to stay on the horizon vs dealing with weird camera angles and such. What gives?

I bought a Whoopstore in black to swap their shell, removed the ugly top label and 3D printed some black button caps (also found them on AliExpress) as I hate the chrome. The donor Whoopstor has a purple PCB, even cooler.

They should sell them like that imo lol

Added a gimbal to my mn99s crawler. Caddx gm3, with the Ascent lite + vtx, being controlled by a xfrobot headtracker. Really happy with the results so far.

Noobie here!!

Just bulit my first 5 inch drone and it flies well and smooth, but it is making this REALLY loud wheezing sound when I throttle up above maybe 40%.

Tried looking around the web for similar “problem” but can’t really get the hang of it?

Maybe just some kind of turbulence from the propellers??

The motor’s temperature is fine so no overheating.
I’m using these props “HQ Durable Prop 5x3x3”

(The video is from the first test flight)

Thanks in advice.

Hello everyone!
As a total newbie with ~30-40 hours in sim, I’m ready to buy my first kit. I’m coming with question what is best budget option, but which will have enough good quality to record some short videos which can be used for social media etc. I know there is option with going analog + action cam, but for now I have only GoPro max 2, which is quite big and heavy (6,5cm x 7cm x 5cm and 195 grams). I would go for cheap starter kit like aquila16, but buying that means I will need to resell it quickly when I will want to move for better quality videos. Are there any budget option for my needs?

Winter is coming! I’m wondering HOW cool it would be, to have a anatanae hooked up to the outside of your vehicle, and be able to fly from inside your vehicle with no transmission interference? Is this already possible? To stay WARM in Beautiful mountain terrain that it’s VERY difficult to stand outside for 15 minutes in high altitude windy & snow capped mountain tops.
That would be a PRICELESS add on.
Is this possible ?

I've been doing this 7 years, I'm getting old, I'm out of freestyle tricks, I just want to fly low and fast.

For context I've only ever flows lion on all my rigs, mostly big heavy cine LR but also on a very capable but volatile 6s cinewoop 🤣 I've just recently built this 5 inch for some light freestyle and BEJEEBUS she rips. For the moment however Im still of the sound assumption that li-ion just can't match the instantaneous raw current that lipos can deliver but I'm 96% sure in a few years the gap will be so close it will make more sense to go with li-ion.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been wanting to get into FPV for 4 years, but the cost of entry kept delaying things. I’m finally taking the plunge. I just ordered a RadioMaster T8L and will be putting in hours on Liftoff while I sort out the rest of my gear.

My plan is to grab an Air 75 Pro II next, but the analog goggle market is completely messed up right now. The second-hand market (at least here in Europe) has literally nothing. Basic, outdated box goggles like the Eachine EV800D are somehow over €100 everywhere, and cheaper options like the betafpv VR07 are completely out of stock.

Even if I stretch my budget to €200, there doesn't seem to be a single good option worth the money. If I push it to €300, I'm just looking at 5-year-old goggles that shouldn't cost more than 200 bucks anyway.

For those flying analog right now: what are my actual options for a decent first pair of goggles without getting ripped off? Are there any hidden gems or specific marketplaces I should be checking?

Not trying to do digital. Strictly Analog for my training purposes.

So as the title reads I need some help. I was flying my drone (wizard x220) (ancient I know) everything was great but then mid flight maybe 10-20 feet high it started barreling towards the ground.
I dissarmed before it hit the ground and everything seemed good until I tried arming again and only 3 of the 4 motors started spinning up,
I took it home and took it apart and tested the motor that wasn’t spinning on a known good esc and the motor seems to be good still however when I soldered the known good motor onto my questionable esc it doesn’t spin when armed.
I know the motor does get power as the drone boots up normally and the prop would even twitch when plugged in..
did I blow up one of the escs? If so what are my options? I don’t really want to get a full stack since I planned on building a new 5” in the near future and just want to get this thing flying again since it’s what I learned to fly on and what made me love fpv

Board is a sp racing f3
Stock eachine 20a individual esc’s
The drone is stock besides an upgraded camera and upgraded antennas

(she is fine btw)

Hey guys, looking to buy analog goggles. Got a strict $300 AUD budget. Looking for a complete setup with a goggle, module, and antennas ready to go. Based in Brisbane, thanks.

hay fpv pilots , I have question who used chirp mode for drone tuning )) is it working nicely? because I did it and it turn off all filters dterm and lowpasses + on pids seted like weird pids . give me some advices I am runing on BF2026.6.2
