FPV Tool Kits for the Field (2021)
Back in early 2018 I pulled together a list of field tools and tool sets for FPV. The number of dedicated FPV tool sets then was very limited. Now it's 2021, and time for an update. While a lot of the tools and kits in the first round are no longer available, several...

Keeping Our Right to Fly
FPV is still in danger. You might remember an uproar back in January, when the community came together to comment on a proposal by the FAA regarding Remote ID for drones. While the process to put it in place stopped being public, this terrible proposal did not simply go away.
NewBeeDrone BeeBrain BL (Brushless) V2 Review

BetaFPV Beta65X HD Review

If you race "tiny whoops", the Mobula6 is probably on your radar. It's among the recent additions to a growing number of brushless 65mm craft with 31mm props, going up against BetaFPV's Meteor65 and NewBeeDrone's own brushless offering. The Mobula6 is offered with an...
