Frame Geometry: Deadcat, Squished X, or True X?

When choosing a frame for your FPV drone, geometry plays a crucial role in determining flight characteristics, aerodynamic efficiency, and how clean your camera footage will be. Among the most popular configurations are Deadcat, Squished X, and True X. Each has distinct advantages and trade-offs, especially in racing, freestyle, and cinematic applications. True XAll four arms are equidistant from the center, forming a perfect “X” shape. This creates a symmetrical thrust layout. Pros:- Equal arm length provides identical pitch and roll response, ideal for racing and acrobatic flying- Consistent stick response in all directions- Battery and f...

Mom, I'm a pilot! What does a beginner need to know

Flying drones is not only a hobby, but also an opportunity to see the world from a new perspective. However, there are a few important things to consider for a successful launch and the main one is choosing the right equipment. ☝️ There are many models on the market today to suit every taste and budget. For beginners, however, we recommend choosing a small drone with basic features: camera stabilization, automatic flight mode and a return-to-home system. This will reduce the risk of damaging your device and make learning easier. It's best to start with ready-made RTF cubes that already have everything you need. Most popular models: ✅ DJI N...

Brains of the drone: how to choose the right FC

The Flight Controller (FC) determines how the drone flies by processing data and controlling motors. There are different types for different drone applications. These range from basic models for beginner pilots to advanced ones for high-performance or long-range drones.   ✅ Types of FC: -  Basic: Have fewer customization options but are easy to use. Examples include F3 and F4 boards, which are affordable and sufficient for standard quadcopters. Ideal for beginners - Advanced: Designed for high-performance drones and can process data faster, supporting more complex flight algorithms. They offer more computing power, advanced feat...
