Realacc Horns 3D FPV Racing Quad

Realacc Horns 100 3D FPV drone
In order to allow fully immersed flight experience, the Realacc Horns 100 quadcopter is equipped not with just one but two cameras. For me personally, being fully immersed (using FPV goggles) makes me feel a bit uncomfortable and I would rather prefer a FPV monitor giving me the ability to switch quickly between LoS (line of sight) and drone view. Each 600TVL camera has its own 5.8G VTX module allowing to individually set the desired broadcast...

The previous "Runner 250" model proved to be a very popular racer. In my...

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...
