That's a great vid Tom and there are others as well. There are several radios
to look at. Some use different protocols which means whether you put together
your own quad or buy a BNF your radio and receiver in the quad have to speak
the same language.By now I would think that everyone knows whether they like
the sport or not. I believe Tom has the right idea...get a good quality radio
that you can grow with. The QX7 or QX7s is a great radio for many reasons. $80
more for the "s". What do you get for $80?LiPo battery ChargerUpgraded hall

make you a better pilot? Just personal preference...add up the numbers...you
decide. Either way you can't go wrong. Be sure and look at different vendors.
Some carry different colors (white blue black orange carbon-fiber) and/or an
extra module.Can you imagine what Saturday classes maybe like? Open TX,
Betaflight, simulators, building quads or BNF, adjusting pids, gate racing or
freestyle, pinching or thumbing just to name a few possible topics...Wow!Keep

[tfc_racing] Getting started with FPV racing drones Caught this video along
with quite a number of others I have been
watching.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JlVWk0BI58 My plan is to start with a ;
good radio and do the simulator. I have a radio (the one mentioned in the
video) AND a starter racing drone coming this weekend. Some things / terms I
have learnedRTF - ready to fly drones. Like we have been buying. Not all
racing drones that come pre-assembled are RTF. RTB - Some are RTB (ready to
bind) where you need to have the drone radio reciever match up or able to be
PAIRED with whatever Drone transmitter (radio) you plan to buy. More to come.
Let me know if anyone else is beginning to dabble.
