This Is How You Race a Drone in the Snow (FPV)



The world of FPV racing is still tight-knit: It’s a segment of a segment of the growing but still relatively small drone industry. But that might not be the case for long. These homemade machines can fly at speeds of up to 100 miles an hour, making it the perfect option for people with a speed obsession but can’t shell out for a private jet. Those who race say it’s going to be on ESPN one day, that we’ll have drone racing stadiums, and leagues, and maybe even Mario Kart-style combat.

  1. I’m in love with all types of “droning” as my mother calls it, but I cannot fly race drones by pinching. I’m a thumbs guys whether it’s an Inspire or a racer. I always hear that people that pinch have more control/skill but it’s a one way ticket to dirt city for me.

  2. motherboard hi guys im needing some advice please iv got my fist racing qaud the emax nighthawk 280 pro but iv no idea what receiver to use can any one help me out please

  3. hey I can fly alright a quadcopter I've been practicing on the eachin]d h8 mini and jjrc hexacopter h20. I have been looking at the jjrc 526w and the jxd 509g and most of my friends say hey the jxd because they say wifi fpv is bad. do you guys have any opinions on which one I should get or something else in the price range. the things I want in the quads are: not too hard to fly, a camera that can take some cool vids not a bad one but nothing to fancy and i want one that is relatively durable, and if it has fps thats also good, and i want one that can go pretty fast. thanks if you help me out: )
