FPV Drone Racing 101

FPV (first-person view) racing drones are a different beast from camera drones — built for speed, not stability.

Start in a simulator

Before you crash a real drone, practice in a flight simulator. It's the fastest way to build stick skills without buying replacement parts.

Know your gear

• Goggles — first-person video feed from the drone's onboard camera
• Controller — dual-stick radio transmitter
• Frame — carbon fiber is light and durable

Find a legal place to fly

Check local regulations before flying, especially near airports or crowded areas.
