FlightClub

Farewell….Goodbye…

Wassup everyone!  Hope all is well in this crazy time!

The time has come to move on!  

FlightClub started 6 years ago as a passion for drones, really an obssession.  I loved building, flying, learning and teaching everything about drones.  I knew how confusing building a first quad is so I loved helping people.  

Since starting Flightclub a lot has changed.  Got married, got a house, got…

DJI FPV Quad Build : HD Video Racing

DJI FPV Quad Build : HD Video Racing

Is the DJI FPV system the future?  On paper it ticks all the boxes, HD video stream, low latency and ultra long range.  For long range, it’s a no brainer but how does it perform in a race situation?  Check out this DJI FPV quad build to see for yourself if it’s worth it or not.

The DJI FPV system comes in two configurations:

Hybrid FPV Race Frame Build Neutron-R

Hybrid FPV Race Frame Build Neutron-R

I’ve have been flying this setup for the past few months*.  It’s by far the best quad/build I’ve done so far.  It survived the MultiGP International Open with just one broken arm.  What makes this the best quad?  Not only does it fly great, it’s super reliable, durable and trouble free.

Personally I prefer the Neutron-R over the PROton-R.  I love how nimble…

FlightClub R Frames : PROton-R and Neutron-R Pre-Orders

FlightClub R Frames : PROton-R and Neutron-R

Designed specifically for racing, the new R frames are the best frames we’ve made, PROton-R and Neutron-R.

Both frames are based on the current PROton and Neutron frames.  Listening to customers, team pilot feedback and testing, we’ve made an already great frame even better.

Captainvanover’s New Race Frame : PROton-R and Neutron-R

Captainvanover’s New Race Frame : PROton-R and Neutron-R

  Having a pilot like Alex aka Captainvanover testing these frames is invaluable.  If you’ve seen him fly, he pushes equipment to the limit and often times beyond.  I’ve seen him crash and disintegrate quads.  That’s why I wanted him testing these frames.

Alex joined FlightClub while I already had the prototypes of these frames being made. …

BetaFPV 85X HD Cinewhoop : HD Tiny Whoop

BetaFPV 85X HD Cinewhoop

Cinewhoop, what is a cinewhoop?  It’s basically a tiny quad that can record HD footage.  It’s a relatively new thing.  A lot of people are hacking away the case from a GoPro Session to save weight and strapping them on a Beta75x.  A tiny whoop that can record hd footage.  BetaFPV listened and made the 85x HD Cinewhoop.  A ready to fly and get HD footage “tiny whoop” out…

TBS AERUM MIMO FPV RACE ANTENNA

TBS AERUM MIMO FPV RACE ANTENNA

Team BlackSheep recently released the new AERUM race antennas.  Up until now antennas for the most part are just wires covered in some plastic housing.  The new AERUM antennas are PCB based antennas that are flat.

Since these antennas are so new, there’s not a lot of info on these.  From what I could find, the AERUM antennas are what’s called MIMO or Multiple–Input…

20×20 Components are the Future: 30×30 is Dead

20×20 Components is the Future: 30×30 is Dead

Is 30×30 dead?  With the current advancement of 20x20mm components, is there a reason to still use 30×30?

Just 6 months ago it was hard to find a reliable 20×20 components.  The first good 20×20 stack was the EMAX MINI Mag 2.  Still a great stack but the M2 hardware is a huge pain in the ass.  The flight controller is only an F4 with 1 free UART. …
