After my previous not so normal flight review of the Ideafly grasshopper I was asked to try and Holybro Shuriken 250 RC Racing Drone. But first, here is the Holybro Shuriken 250 review.

I assume you’ve seen my video on Youtube (if not, scroll down) and want to make your grasshopper do the same. In short, you can achieve this by just updating 2 (or 5 to be more exact) components’ firmware. Lets head to the Ideafly Grasshopper upgrade right away:

I fly racing drones as a “serious” hobby and compete regularly in our local league and international races. Gearbest contacted me asking for a honest Ideafly Grasshopper review, “can it really fly 230km/h??”, to be exact. Although i still have no answer about that, it’s parts makes it a good starting point for anyone who wants to fly a drone!
I see too many pilots flying miniquads they built as kits from aliexpress, eBay and some other weird places to buy miniquads from. Their miniquads are more prone to breaking because of a bad choice for a frame, cheap motors and ESCs with low performance and etc…! This Miniquad Parts List is here to battle all those crappy kits and save the newbies some money…
My previous list was posted 10months ago, you can find it HERE. A building log can be found HERE.
Everybody these days is flying the new Tiny whoop. I’ll go through what and where to buy, with a short and to the point tiny whoop parts list.

learning to use the FPV camera tilt will help finish more race laps and in turn help you fly faster gradually.
Since the FPV camera acts as our human eyes we tend to want to aim the quad in a way that will point the camera in the natural direction our eyes are pointed usually. If you take a moment to think about it, we point our eyes towards the horizon, mostly. This determines where our FPV cam will be pointed during flight.
You can’t calibrate the ESCs on Naze32 Rev6 like you used to do in rev5, by using the motor tab, as trying will result in your motors spinning when thinking you are about to calibrate your escs.
This is a result of the lack of separation between the high voltage and low voltage on the rev6.
The trick to calibrate without disassembling anything is:
PID tuning is the more complicated and less understood task in the FPV racing community. Although stock, default, PID values give an OK flying characteristic, I strongly suggest putting the effort into understanding how to tuning works.
This post will not cover PID tuning, but HOW-TO tune your PIDs in the air, using your remote. This will help make the process much easier and faster!
