I’ve created a video series that shows even a total beginner how to build an FPV quadcopter. The videos show every single step of building and setting up the drone, in the kind of meticulous (but still easy to follow) detail that I’m known for. If you’ve got any questions, JB is monitoring the YouTube comments, and there is a Discord server chat channel for more immediate help.

This video series is about more than just giving you a finished quad that you can fly. It’s about teaching you how to build a quad, the right way, including all the little steps that are often overlooked.

The full playlist for this build series is:

  1. Hello, i've been flying dji for years, but i want to get into fpv, it's a lot to understand haha. i was wondering, can any frsky recievers work with any frsky transmitter, or are they individual to the controllers? if so is this the same for slysky, etc? hope that makes sense, great videos man!

  2. Great tutorial !
    I followed it step by step on a very similar build and the information provided is top notch 🙂 However you may want to mention that the Taranis firmware AND the R-Xsr firmware must be the same (Non-EU or EU type) . Otherwise you won't be able to bind them together. Since I am from France I ran into this issue eventually fixing it by flashing the taranis to Non-EU.
    Thanks a lot for your tutorial I'm sure it will help a lot of people !

  3. hello I had a hard time trying to bind a crossfire nano, I try a second one just to be sure and still nothing, the tx bind with rx no problem the led was green but no signal into receiver tab so good conection tx/rx but nothing to the FC, I end wiring a XM+…. I should do something in comand line to enable something as to allowed crossfire to work….?

  4. Hey JB. Great series! My Taranis X9D SE doesn't show the "model type" selection screen when setting up a new model (i.e., plane, helicopter, quad). I've always wondered why. Any ideas?? Thanks. (This pertains to the previous video, but I got Auto-played!)
