I'm excited to share my thoughts and opinions of what a new person, wanting to start there journey in the FPV hobby, should know for 2026!
My Recommended First Quadcopter
Here we build a 75mm Whoop for 2026. This is the hardware portion of the quadcopter that I recommend to new people trying to enter the hobby. I believe the 75mm ducted quadcopter serves versatility to a new pilot. It is stable, durable, good inside and out, and parts are abundant.
Do This First - Flight Controller Check
Here we look at the Betafpv Matrix 1S G2 HD flight controller. Not only do we look at the components up-close, we look at all the things needed before ever placing it into the quadcopter.
Understanding ELRS Step-by-Step
Here we take a deeper dive into understanding Expresslrs open source firmware for our radio link. Learning how to navigate Elrs, and understanding terminology is key.
1S Charging Made Easy
Here we look at how tokeep our 1S lipos in shape by understanding charging. I will admit, I'm partial to the Vifly Whoopster V3, I helped in the design. Lipo management is one of those things that you just have to do and can be cumbersome if done wrong.
Simple Explanation LQ & RSSIdbm
Here we look at the importance in the relationship of Link Quality & RSSIdbm. Some say, "Only LQ is important." Or, vice versa; I believe they are both critical to be in your OSD and to understand them.
Check Before Plugging In A Lipo
Here we look at the importance of checking our quadcopter for shorts that may destroy components. It's important to always check for continuity to know our build is ready for power.
