FlySky FRM302 and FTR16S AFHDS3 receiver = 2.4GHz Long-Range radio system
ImmersionRC Ghost is the new long-range 2.4GHz radio system that is getting the most traction in the media in the last few days.

Jumper T18 radio transmitter and FrSky R9 receivers
One of the advantages of the Jumper T18 over its competition is the JP5in1 Multiprotocol Module compatibility not only with 2.4GHz FrSky and FlySky receivers but also with Long-Range FrSky 868/915MHz R9 system. At least in theory, because when I got the radio, I could not bind and use any of my R9MM or R9…

ZOHD Drift Review – a smart FPV glider
Airplanes are fun, and I like to fly them. Unfortunately, most RC airplanes have a severe flaw: they are big, bulky, and traveling with an FPV airplane can be a pain in a posterior. Sure, some can be disassembled into a few smaller parts, but usually, those parts are not small, and assembling the airplane…

How popular INAV actually is?
Let’s be honest. INAV is not the most popular flight controller software in the world. Both Ardupilot and Betaflight are more popular, and no one can deny that.

EmuFlight Kalman Filter Tuning
The most distinctive feature of the EmuFlight flight controller software is it’s gyro Kalman filter. Yes, the same filter that some people name the dynamic PT1, doubt that it works or calls it magic. I will not discuss if the EmuFlight Kalman works and how it works (it works tho, I have enough time in…
