FPV Miniquad Revolution

by FliteTest | July 13, 2015 | (10) Posted in Just Fun

Miniquads are great for an endless number of reason; portability, agility, and speed to name a few.

You see their popularity grow more and more as they rise in accessability and lower in price. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and to some, seem a lot less intimidating than their big siblings.

We've touched on the subject of racing before when we visited the Airgonay Racing Club in Argonay, France. The scream of the motors has an interesting affect on people. It's not only exciting to fly, but exciting to watch!

The general consensus from the Prop Killas Team was they could not wait until products like the Connex HD were more widely used to allow for a general audience to be able to enjoy this amazing hobby. From racing, to free-style, to plane-chasing, shadow-chasing, or whatever style excites you, they are equally enjoyable to bystanders.

We can't wait for the day people crowd areas to watch a jumbotron transmitting FPV for an X-Games style fly-off, or a high speed race through the woods. Where this sport is going, only time will tell.

Defiently a great video, I would love to get into quad copters but the money would be an issue. This looks awesome though and gives me a awesome insight into quads!

That was a cool video guys, my wife and I have been building and flying our multicopters and would love to try racing one day. Keep up the good work, this stuff inspires us all.

By the way cheaper HD FPV would be awesome.

How do you program a race quad on naze32. Do you just set it as QuadX.
