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...
ROA Parkour 280 Racer quadcopter
ROA Parkour 280 racing quadcopter with foldable arms
Frankly, I never heard before anything about the manufacturer of the ROA Parkour 280 racer quadcopter, but I'm already used with more and more "players" entry on the market. This is good because this way the price of the RC products are going down.
Last weekend I had my first flights with a truly racing quadcopter,...
WST Shuttle-280 racing quadcopter
Looking at the images with this WST Shuttle-280 racing quad, I don't know why, I have the impression of a"flying pig" :D. Although the fully enclosed design seems to be a good idea because it will protect the components in case of crash-lands.
Thanks to the 1-axis gimbal, the tilt angle of the frontal camera can be adjusted remotely. This way the operator can set...
JJRC H6W WIFI first person view quadcopter
JJRC H6W FPV quadcopter with headless mode
When I purchased my first quadcopter, few of my friends asked me about the quality of the camera and if it's capable for FPV flights. It seems these two factors are very important features for newbies. This new JJRC H6W quadcopter comes with a 2MP camera and WIFI real time image transmission. During my experience I have not...
Kylin KF-250 racing quadcopter
Kylin KF-250 first person view racer
Just published my Runner 250 Advance review and already have my eye on another racing quadcopter, the Kylin KF-250. Built around the CC3D flight controller, it can be a very serious competitor on its segment.
As I mentioned many times, racing quadcopters are full of fun but, in my opinion, there are suitable only for advanced pilots.
Unlike the previously mentioned...
Runner 250 Advance racing quadcopter review
A few weeks ago, I've already introduced this Runner 250 Advance on my website. Ever since it was announced, it seemed like an exciting model. Adding GPS system to a racing quadcopter was an interesting movement from Walkera, although some pilots considered this an unnecessary one.
The previous "Runner 250" model proved to be a very popular racer. In my...
DYS X230 racer quadcopter
DYS X230 racing quadcopter with HD camera
Dong Yang Model Technology aka DYS is a well known quadcopter and related products manufacturer. This DYS X230 is their latest product announced at the end of October and it claims to be a very good racing quadcopter.
The advertised control range is 1KM, witch is probably far enough for most of us. To achieve this long...
FUAV Smargle complete fpv quadcopter
FUAV Smargle - the next Phantom killer?
I already introduced an interesting multi-rotor model from FUAV, the Seraphi-GPS. This new FUAV Smargle 1 is something totally different in a positive way. It has a very stylish design with retractable landing skids that are absolutely necessary for aerial filming.
The FUAV Smargle's remote controller is designed to be used for first-person view flights. On the top...
PiPo QW 350 GPS FPV quadcopter
QW GPS first person view quadcopter
Chinese guys are pretty good to clone quad-copters and other electronic devices, but they have a big issue in naming the products. For example, this new quadcopter looks very good and it has some decent features, but frankly what chances they have to make a successful promotion for a product with names like: "QW quadcopter" or "PiPo QW quadcopter"?
The design of...
JJRC H8D headless FPV quad
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...

Wingsland just relaunched the Scarlet Minivet under an M1 product name. Apparently, the WINGSLAND M1 has the same design and features as the old model (2015). This new version comes with an extremely friendly price tag. The WINGSLAND M1 is advertised for only $176.99!
Wingsland M1 (Scarlet Minivet) - The flying beauty
Under the shadow of the DJI Phantom 3 launch, a new...
