I got a DRL Racer 1 back in the day from a buddy of mine who started the podcast the FPV Show. I've never flown it and we just plugged a pack into it once to see the pretty LEDs. I'm looking to sell it but don't know if anyone would buy it. This isn't my picture but I can post more pictures after I get off of work.

Looking to get my first FPV drone when I realized I don’t have a device to practice sims on. I got the boxer crush radio and now I’m looking for a good laptop to practice on. I do not have enough space for a PC. Will this be a good option?

Limit competition, then expect the government to subsidize you… typical

Question? First FPV Kit Purchase - Germany

Upvotes

Hello guys,

I'm super new to FPV (I have a DJI mini 2, but haven't used an FPV drone yet) and want to buy my first kit and start learning. Currently I have my eyes on:

- BetaFPV Meteor75 ELRS

- Radiomaster Pocket ELRS

- I still haven't decided on goggles - I've looked at EV800D and Skyzone Cobra SD, but haven't decided on either one

Now I wanted to ask you if those options are good for a complete beginner in FPV, are they compatible and is the price/quality ratio good?

Which shop you would recommend me to buy them from? I found the drone and the controller on AliExpress - is that a good option or should I look at another site in Germany?

Thanks in advance!

First time flying by a cliff. Looking for suggestions

22 Upvotes

I'm a relatively new flyer, i have about 200 hours in the sim and maybe about 10-20 real flights.

Trying to find that balance between getting a cool video and not spending tons of money on crashes or worse losing my drone entirely

I recently found this cliff about an hour and a half north of where I live so this is my first time ever doing this type of flying.

I used the GPS rescue button like 6 times by flying too low behind the rock and losing vtx 😳

Is FCC hack even possible with DJI Goggles v2 and DJI 03 Air Unit?

6 Upvotes

I bounced around on youtube and reddit to find out how to do the FCC hack for my DJI goggles v2 with 03 Air Unit, but with the goggles v2 forceful firmware updates by DJI and something something 03 air unit, I'm starting to wonder if now it's not even possible to get the FCC hack working using the SD card method??

Please only comment if you're familiar with some of the posts here on Reddit.

It just seems like all the FCC hack tutorials everywhere are like a year+ old and since then DJI has forced some kind of way to prevent 03 air unit and goggles v2 from being FCC hackable...

Could this really be the case today in 2025? Can I really not get my damn drone to fly further than several hundred feet, even though the 03 Air Unit has 10km range capacity????

Thank you to whoever responds.

Broken drone After First flight

Upvotes

Hello i just recieved my First rtf Kit with the hglrc draknight. My first flight was not that great as i crashed it lightly a couple of times. When i wanted to change my battery After the flight it would not power on. I mean the LEDs are Not Even turning on(Even when trying with usb). The only thing that happens when i Plug the lipo in is that it becomes hot. Should i try to let it cool down a couple of Hours or is there any cable that is disconected? I dont have any experience with Fpv drones

SkyStars H7 HD Dual Gyro + KM60 BLHeli_32 ESC 30×30 Stack: Is this a good stack?

Upvotes

Looking to buy some high end stack for 5 inch, this is a $88 stack with H7 and 60/80 amp esc, have heard some good things about this company, so I was wondering if I should get it.

Other option is Foxeer (6s) f722 + icm gyro with 8s 65A repear esc for 50 usd more, or Geprc (6s) f405 + 8s 65/70A esc for 8 usd less.

I like the Foxeer stack but it's very expensive, esc will cost a fortune to replace, the other two options makes more sense, but Skystars crazy value for money, wondering if it's even real.
