In this episode of The News INAV 2.1 is here and we have a lot of code waiting for INAV 2.2 Betaflight 4.0 is coming closer and closer together with RPM filter that analyzes RPMs of motors (via ESC telemetry) to set up very narrow notches. What a nice idea! Something very fresh in terms…

220x motors are the workhorse on the RC hobby right now when it comes down to mini quads. Sometimes they are joined by 230x too. But 2205 and 2206 brushless outrunners have a serious problem that limits their use with propellers bigger than 5 inches. They might still be fine with 6-inch props, but on…

At the beginning of 2018 I’ve stated that Matek F722-STD is the first F7 flight controller that makes sense. Today, I have in front of me I have the first F7 flight controller that has all you need (and more) when 4-in-1 ESC is not what you are looking for. It is Matek F722-SE! STM32F722…

I have to honestly admit, up to the beginning of 2018 summer I was rather against 4-in-1 ESCs and flight controllers combos. The reason was quite simple: 4-in-1 were a rather new thing, had a tendency to burn without a reason and were quite expensive. Pretty much a normal state of a new technology. In…

The next major release of Betaflight will be 4.0 with new and improved Dynamic Filtering. For now, today I only did a quick test of Betaflight 4.0 running on my TBS Source One 7-inch FPV drone. No tuning, no playing with settings. I only flashed, set modes and radio and that’s all. I pretty much…

What happens when multirotor world meets flying wings? Flying ZM250 without arms is born. Today we will take a look at a new example of German Engineering: Flybot Flux Freestyle FPV Flying Wing Bottom line is that Flybot Flux is just an amazing flying wing!

Weather like this happens only a few times a year: raising fog, low sun and another layer of clouds… And very little wind. To be honest, when I went to the “airfield” I did not expect to use my Ritewing Mini Drak at all. The fog was too dense and too low. But then it…

Let’s measure power output from Eachine TX805 that is supposed to be up to 800mW. Well, it is not. It matches the specification only at 200mW and 800mW is just not there. But, well, it’s only $16 and when used at 200mW or 500mW it works quite well. RF power meter can be purchased for…

I love Team BlackSheep Unify Pro series of video transmitters. But they are bloody expensive. $50 for an HV version is way too much in my opinion. Still, I own several of those. Whey on Banggood I’ve found a presale of Eachine TX805 VTX with SmartAudio for $16, I could not resist and I’ve ordered…
