Team BlackSheep Tango FPV Radio
Looking for something different for your radio choice? Until now, there were very few aesthetically and functionally different options in this arena. Sure, you could pick from a variety of radios, but they all looked and functioned essentially the same. Not anymore. Check out the Tango from the boys at TBS (Team BlackSheep). I am personally VERY excited for this radio [...]

KISS FC 32bit Flight Controller from FlyDuino.net
Until recently, almost every single FPV racing flight controller worth it’s salt utilized the ubiquitous CleanFlight firmware. All though the CleanFlight firmware is very capable and user-friendly (even spawning community-generated variations like the awesome BetaFlight), it leaves a lot to be desired.
