Buying a new FPV drone, need advice...

Hello everyone,

I want to buy an FPV drone, and I am new to drone technology, even I don't know how to fly a drone. Please give some advice.

Thank you.

 

Hey Charles,

well buying a FPV drone is tricky. You can go RTF route and buy yourself a Eachine Wizard.
But the problem with RTF drones, although they are great, is that you're gonna crash, and when flying fpv drone racer you're gonna crash alot.

So it's better to have more understanding in the drone parts, and when you crash you're gonna know how to repair your drone.

There alot of guides for fpv drones, and most important thing is to choose balanced components for your drone.
Some guides I would recommend:

Hope this helps!
and don't give up. Build, fly, crash, repeat

 

webman you are correct, there's a steep learning curve when learning how to build your own drone.
If you're not handy as you say, best solution would be to find someone who knows his stuff and learn from him; but also don't be affraid to follow the guides - you're gonna make mistakes sure, but that's all part of learning.

In the end the knowledge gained when building your drone is priceless. You're gonna know your beast in details, and have much more confidence when flying.

 

Why not start out with something like this to get your feet wet? Only $35 and all parts are available. The contrasting props (with spares) and enclosed gears are a nice touch.
