This is the BASIC setup to getting started in FPV, the absolute necessary stuff to be able to fly FPV. Go after stable and Easy to fly , I recommend to start out simple and then expand with the more advanced stuff and able to carry extra weight once you mastered the basics kills.
Top things paid attention to when getting started in FPV
- Fly in big open area, far away from other people, traffic and property. Grassy field will be preferable not only for softening any crashes you might have but also will prevent sand from getting into your motors.
- But before you jump into FPV flying, make sure you know how to fly your quadcopter line of sight (LOS) first! In case something happens during your FPV session, you can still remove your FPV goggles and land your quad in a controlled manner in LOS.
- After flight: check your gear after each flight, including feeling the temperature of each motor and ESC with your hand after landing. One hot motor means it is failing – or the propeller is grossly unbalanced or badly bashed. Two or more warmer motors on the same side mean that the craft is not correctly weighted and balanced.
Before quadcopter getting started to fly what should you do? If you have already purchased a FPV quadcopter or build one and ready to fly, this post will tell you how to have a happy fly and security fly. At last, enjoy flying.
