I'm looking to for a side hustle to make money off my 3d printer. i thought i could make some fpv carry boxes. tell my if you be interested, and if so how much you would like to pay.

Due to a recent influx of new subscribers, we are now posting a weekly megathread for beginner questions like "How do I get started" or "What are the best goggles to buy".

If you've been drone racing for less than 6 months, please post your question as a comment in this megathread. Including as much detail as possible in your question will increase the likelihood of more experienced pilots in this community being able to help you.

the whoop. iv bean trying to figure out whats wrong with this for a while i havent bean able to figure it out. this is my fist fpv drone, and i have already tried to swap the aio board, same problem. if anyone is willing to give me a call to hello me figure this out that would be great. thanks

i bought a tiny whoop like a week ago but i had to wait for my elrs modal to start using it . i trend off internal elrs and trend on external crsf. i went into elrs in the system menu pressed bind and somehow that worked. i got the goggles on the wright channel, but know evert time i tern it on this thing does something different to the motors like last time they where reversed all of them, this most resent time the throdal did nothing but the pitch was the yaw and the roll was the roll i think was the same. i have no idea what's going on this is my fist fpv drone video

Hey everyone!

We built an FPV drone for the first time and are planning to participate in IDRL at IIT Bombay this year. Since this is our first build and competition, we’re trying to learn as much as we can before we get there.

If anyone here has experience with FPV racing, IDRL, drone builds, tuning, or competition prep and is willing to share some tips and tricks, I’d really appreciate it. Even small things that you wish you knew when you started would be super helpful.

I also have a few doubts about the IDRL rules, especially regarding RPM limits, so if anyone has some knowledge about how those limits work or are enforced, I’d be grateful for some clarification.

Feel free to comment here or DM me if you’re willing to help — happy to chat and learn from anyone with experience!

Thanks! 🙌

What sims would you reccomend? I am looking to get into racing and maybe cinema in the future. Right now I'm running sims on Lift Off Microdrones. Not sure where to go to better my skills.

Edit: lmfao this community downvotes me for asking a question? Tf?

Im building a hdzero race quad but the telemetry doesnt work and i only get 1 osd element and i cant go to the cameras settings with the stick comands but i can go to betaflight osd settings

First time trying racing in manual mode with my Avata 2. I only have the Avata 2, but consider buying a racing drone. I saw that the other guys all had HDzero goggles, but I like DJI better. Any good racing drones with O4 Pro? Also does the Avata 2 have race mode? Since some of the other guys with HDzero had issues with interference when I flew my done. I have done the ham unlock to get more power and higher speed in manual.

Hi all,

I’m very new to fpv drones and want to make all the right research before diving in

Would it be possible to solder the motor wires as shown in the right as opposed to the ol’ faithful? And would this cause any differences down the line? I saw a youtube video where somebody soldered their wires like this, however I’ve seen this only once or twice out of the many I’ve watched. Would this be configurable in something like betaflight? Or would they work as usual?

Thanks for any help

Frozen screen on the DJI O4 pro is no fun.

I'm making a 3 inch sub 250g build. this would be my first build so if there is something you think i may not know please say so even in you may think it is obvious.

I haven't flown since 2020~ and have my old 4S analog drone with crossfire.

​

It's probably outdated by now but would it still hold up coming back into it? Not looking to drop much money to come back in, outside of possible new batteries. But any worth upgrades since that time? New tx and protocol?

​

How would I know how my batteries held up all this time in storage mode? Aside from them being puffy.

​

I wanted to get an honest answer from everyone, especially the ones who are already the top level. Is it even possible to make money drone racing and what does it take to have it become your main source of income? Don’t have to be rich or anything, I just mean have it as a livable wage. A little about me, I am a pianist who has built up enough skill to play on local concerts with the orchestra, but I will never be an international concert pianist and make it what I do as living since I started so late compared to the best.

Just afraid this will be the same case with drone racing where I put in so much effort to be good at it to just give me nothing but a hobby in return. Not to mention all the costs that comes with racing.

I really do like it though, just wondering if it’s even worth it to put in all the hours to become one of the fastest pilots or should I just look at it as a hobby like golf?

If you have expérience with ag01 ag02 and hall v6, i want to know How it feel for you thanks

I need recommendations for both 5-inch and sub-5-inch racing frames.
