LiftOff review: The drone simulator – Learn & train under lockdown
My son was only 4 years when I started with FirstQuadcopter.com, so he grew with drones around him. Due to this fact, he lost or didn't even develop an interest in RC toys. This is somehow understandable seeing his 40 years old dad playing with drones for such a long time.
Now, he is 10 years old and he's a...

HGLRC Veyron 3 review, ratings and guide
This would be my second attempt of publishing my HGLRC Veyron 3 review. The draft of my previous article was lost together with 6 months of hard-working (drone reviews, quadcopter news, and lots of uploaded user manuals) due to messing up my blog's database.
While Oscar Liang and Half Chrome were more focused, in their Veyron 3 CineWhoop review, on...

HGLRC Sector132 review: 2 in 1 FPV drone
In my in-depth HGLRC Sector132 review I will reveal to you all the advantages and drawbacks of this hybrid Cinema-Freestyle FPV drone. Maybe it’s not the cheapest, fastest or smallest, but it’s probably the most flexible FPV platform.
