As quadcopters slowly takeover the world, the next big thing is flying FPV. We recently received the UDI Lark FPV Quadcopter to check out, and of course it was up to use to see if it could take the abuse of a basher. Did it hold up? Is it a decent quadcopter? Keep reading as we go in depth for [...]
Let me start by saying I like the Dromida product line and especially the Vista, are normally a very easy to fly and tough little drone at a good price. Just wanted to say that I opened up a new one that I received a few weeks ago and it spun around in circles and would not take off. As entertaining [...]

We recently got our hands on a UDI Lark Quadcopter with FVP from HRP – Hobby Recreation Products and are looking forward to putting it to the test. Initial reactions to taking it out of the box, it’s a very interesting setup as it’s very light for it’s large sizet. Not so sure we are going to dig the USB charging [...]

Sporting a huge room at the ’15 HobbyTown USA Convention was our friends from Horizon Hobby. Ice cold Rockstar Energy Drinks were in abundance (they have a collaboration with them) as were snacks to keep tired convention attendees going. If you haven’t already noticed, Horizon is placing a big emphasis on staying at the front edge of the latest technology. For [...]
Now being teased by the crew over at Dromida is their upcoming UAV called the Vista. The Vista comes with four rotors and will be pre-built and ready to fly out of the box. It is rumored to be coming as two different versions, a base model priced below $80 and an FPV version priced under $140. More details are [...]
3DBill here, and we got our hands on the Multi RC HMB 235 Mini Quad / FPV racer. We have been told that it can take a lot of abuse and come back for more. That’s usually a challenge that we like to hear. FPV Quad Racing is very hot right now, and if you are actually racing, you know you [...]
It may sound cliche, but I feel like a true pioneer. On many occasions in the past year or so that quadcopters/drones/multirotor technology, flight, and regulations have been compared to the early days of the internet, calling it a ‘wild west’ phase for the technology. That pretty much nails the current situation of the whole multirotor hobby right on the [...]
I always love seeing packages on my desk, and this one came from the folks over at Ares RC, the SpectreX Quadcopter and FPV Upgrade kit. This little orange bugger is the next review I’m working on, and before I started chasing Brian and Cubby around the office, I took a few unboxing photos. See them below and keep your eye out for the [...]

Sorry for falling off the planet RC, but I needed to go into hiding until I could remake my tinfoil hat 😉 This is an exciting time for FPV Racing: ImmersionRC has released the details about its new racer, the Vortex recently. This is a game changer, and there are a lot of nitty-gritty details about this quad that can be missed [...]
Yuneec APV continues what I have dubbed ‘Aerial April’ by releasing a preview picture of a new Q500 Typhoon quadcopter. This one features a 4K resolution camera, what seems to be a bigger controller screen, and a neat gunmetal color. No details on pricing, release, or any other pertinent information, but you can see the comments and responses on Yuneec‘s Facebook Page. Look for [...]
