FLYPRO Xjaguar fast and furious racing quad

FLYPRO Xjaguar racing quadcopter
As recently many racer quadcopters including this FLYPRO Xjaguar were announced with flight speeds up to 200 km/s, I'm curious what is the highest speed that physically can be achieved with such toys. Till now I had the chance to review only one FlyPro product, the Xeagle Sport watch-controlled selfie drone. It proved to be a nice and unique quadcopter (at that time). The FLYPRO Xjaguar racer...

JJRC H9D FPV Quad

JJRC H9D First Person View Quadcopter with HD camera Just found this new 5.8Ghz FPV quad from JJRC. Today was listed on one of the biggest online store for only $99.99. Unfortunately they didn't rumored anything about the flight range, FPV range or flight time. The JJRC RC toy manufacturer recently launched many successful models and slowly becomes a familiar name in the world quadcopters. To guaranty the quality...

Smart Drone SMD Red Arrow FPV quadcopter

SMD Red Arrow FPV quadcopter
SMD Red Arrow Racing quadcopter with FPV transmitter Frankly, excepting the nice foldable design, this SMD Red Arrow Racing didn't convinced me. Especially that it costs more than 300 bucks. Although the product name includes the word "Racing", I would categorize this quadcopter more as an all-in-one quadcopter for beginners. The SMD Red Arrow comes with a complete 5.8G first person view system (FPV). You can opt...

XinLin X181 FPV quadcopter review

XinLin X181 review
My biggest curiosity at the time I knew that I would receive this XinLin X181 quadcopter for review, was what could it mean that it is equipped with "similar brushless motors".  As I know, currently there are two kinds of electric motors used on multi-rotors: brushed and brushless ones. While the only advantage of brushed (DC) motors is that they are cheap, the...

REDCON Phoenix 210 review

REDCON Phoenix 210 review
As this summer I'm planing to organize some drone racing with my friends, I started to look for cheap racing quadcopters. I do not want to lend them my precious Walkera racing quads; if it crashes, at least it is done by my hand. Among the wide variety of racing drones, I found this REDCON Phoenix 210 ARF (almost...

SKRC Q16 quadcopter review

SKRC Q16 quadcopter review
After many "high-end" quadcopter reviews, it was time to test something more affordable, the SKRC Q16. This model was announced about 4 weeks ago by an unknown Chinese manufacturer (at least for me) called "ShengKai". Basically, the design of the SKRC Q16 reminds me of the Syma X5C, which was my first quadcopter. Lately, I have read many negative comments regarding...

X73S super mini brushless FPV racer

X37S ultra compact FPV quadcopter
Jumper X73S aka Eachine X73S Probably, this X73S is currently the smallest brushless FPV quadcopter. Actually it is smaller then most of the similar brushed models. Anyway, even if is so small I recommend it only for outdoor flights. Brushless motors are much powerful than brushed ones. Like many racing drones, this X73S is also based on the versatile Naze 32 flight controller. This...

FEILUN FX127 racing quadcopter

FEILUN FX127 racing quadcopter
Frankly, I never heard about the "FEILUN" drone manufacturer, but I'm glad to have come recently across their FX127 Chaser racing quadcopter. Like many new racers, this FEILUN FX127 is also based on the popular CC3D flight controller. In the front part of the aircraft, there is an 800TVL camera, which is pretty well protected by the removable canopy. The camera's live...

FPVStyle UNICORN 220 racing quad

FPVSTYLE UNICORN 220quadcopter
UNICORN 220 - fast and durable racing quadcopter Lately, I reviewed many racing quadcopters and I found them more interesting over the "regular" cruising quad-copters. There are good ones and bad ones but anyhow,  I'm thinking to contact FPVStyle in order to test their praised Unicorn 220 too. The FPVStyle UNICORN 220 features a nice durable carbon fiber frame. Between the upper and...

JJRC H8D headless FPV quad

JJRC H8D quadcopter
JJRC H8D - First person view quadcopter From an unknown manufacturer, JJRC becomes a consecrate name in the world of multi-rotors hobbyists. They lunch new quadcopter models almost every month and one of them, the JJRC H8D, with its floral red and orange colors, will be the quad of May. Frankly, there is no much innovation on this H8D, practically is a mix of older...

JYU Hornet S FPV quadcopter

JYU Hornet S FPV Quadcopter
Now that Santa has brought everyone the wished quadcopter let's see what we could wish for next year :). This JYU Hornet S  seems to be the ideal gift as it is an all-in-one concept. It comes with a 3-axis brushless gimbal, 12 MP camera, and FPV goggles. I've just read that, beginning with 2016, in the US, everyone who...
