FrSky Taranis QX7 appeared on the market a few years ago and got quite a lot of popularity in its time. There were reasons for that:

When DJI did not decide to add INAV and Ardupilot to the list of the supported flight controller for the HD FPV system, some people were, at least, disappointed. Long story short: DJI OSD works only with Betaflight. Period. Until today, DJI avoids the answer to the question if INAV and Ardupilot will be supported.…

Today, let's have a nice talk about brushless electic motors we use in the RC hobby. Both on airplanes, as well as on drones. In this video we will discuss: motor size motor KV and rotation speed KV versus KT as motor constants stator and rotor number of coils and poles winding phases airflow and…

When DJI released updated firmware for their DJI FPV system with improved OSD, Betaflight users started cheering. The move to add OSD with elements like GPS position, the artificial horizon, etc is kind of puzzling. It works only with Betaflight flight controllers and a typical user of Betaflight does not really need it. After all,…

The upcoming 1.2GHz FPV system from Matek called 1G3, where VTX-1G3 is the transmitter and VRX-1G3 is the transmitter and ANT-Y1200 is the antenna, are ready for some flights! So far I have a couple of remarks: VRX-1G3 fits nicely inside a standard Far Shark receiver bay and you can use the standard bay cover…

Believe it or not, but choosing the right flight controller for your next airplane or a drone build is quite important. Yes, I know that some of you might say that hardware does not matter and your kwad will fly as good with the latest F7 flight controller as it would fly with Naze32. It…

Matek makes probably the most advanced hobby level flight controllers that run Open Source like Ardupilot or INAV. The Matek F765-WING is currently best-of-the-best. Here are some images and full specification:

When looking for radio modules for your next Arduino project, you might have come across the couple named: FS1000A and XY-MK-5V. At first glance, they might look like the next best thing, but it’s not that simple. Before you start hacking anything with FS1000A and XY-MK-5V, read the following pros and cons: Pros: simple –…

There a few things that I can be sure of in life. One of them is that every time I receive a DHL package from Matek, there is something very interesting inside! This time, for example, is a pre-production sample of a new FPV transmitter and receiver. This time it’s not 5.8GHz but 1.2GHz. Long…
