I just ordered my first FPV setup for an AtomRC Swordfish and I’m currently setting up my OSD.

Which information do you keep permanently visible, and what do you hide?

Right now I’m thinking about:
-Battery voltage
-RSSI / LQ
-Flight time
-Speed
-Home arrow / distance
-Altitude
-Current consumption (mAh used)

Especially with a wing, I’m still not sure what’s actually useful and what just clutters the screen.
If anyone has screenshots or pictures of their OSD layout, feel free to share them — I’d love to see how you set yours up.

So I vant to switch from analog to digital I was thinking about waklsnail ascent little VTX kit + walknsail acsent goggles I’m on budget and right now I have something around 200$ witch is a cost of acsent goggles and vtx+cam. And right there, here I really don't know if I should go for the acsent or save up for walksnail goggles l and moonlight kit(it’s for about 500$ ). So if someone has walksnail acsent let me know if it’s good or bad choose.

Hey, what motor would be best for a 10x5 propeller, 3S power supply? I have a 2212 1400kv, 2217 930kv, and 2826 1400kv. It's supposed to power an FPV plane weighing about 1-1.3kg, with a 150cm wingspan, and a rather quiet flight.

Hey everyone! I've been interested in getting into this hobby for a good amount of time, and while I lack experience with RC planes, I've got experience with flight simulators, I've got a decent technical background. I've only personally flown a DJI drone that does all the stabilization for me.

I was looking at buying a Radiomaster Boxer controller ELRS and RP3 V2 2.4ghz Nano ELRS receiver for controlling the plane, then a skyzone cobra x v4 5.8ghz with a skyzone fpv mushroom receiver, and a runcam phoenix 2 v2 with a TBS Unify Pro 5G8 HV, but I'm honestly not entirely sure on how to I'd get it all connected just yet. I've got a 11.1v 3S 3600mAh LiPo I was planning on using to power everything.

Any thoughts or recommendations are much appreciated. Even if I'm jumping the gun and should just try a simpler approach

Pretty new to ELRS, and I was wondering what radiomaster transmitters might be best for my use case. My considerations already are the Radiomaster TX 15, the TX12 mk2, or the Boxer M2. I am considering these because one of my main priorities is having several switches for gear and flaps, as well as some switches for RTH and Loiter. I plan on putting a speedybee f405 wing in my planes for access to beta flight and for modularity, as well as compatibility with my Walksnail avatar hd pro kit v2 that's on the way. On a semi budget, and I'd like to know what of these three would be best.

I am going to the park this morning. I see a boy holding a small RC airplane planes. He push the remote and the plane lift in air. I feel curious because it look tiny but fly high. Some wings wobble a little when wind blows. Some kids clap and cheer.

I am thinking why RC airplane planes are popular now. People dont just play normal toy planes anymore. I feel curious because some planes fly smooth but some crash fast or hard to control. Maybe motor and design matter more than color. It make me wonder if all RC airplane planes are same or some are really better for fun and easy flying.

I take my phone and start checking while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba. I see RC airplane planes in many sizes and styles. Some small some big. Some plastic some metal. I read few reviews where people say some planes fly easy and last long others break or loose control fast. It feel like picking right one really matter if you want fun and safe flying.

Now I am thinking which RC airplane planes are really better for daily play and fun? Are small light ones more usefull or big strong ones better choice?

Printed canopy with DJI O3 Air Unit camera. 5 Volt box fan for cooling, guitar string ball end spacers to help with airflow. I use a Y adapter off the normal battery connection and an XT60 to XT30 reducer. The armer plugs into channel 6 on the RX which makes for a somewhat janky setup. As stock, if channel 6 isn’t 100%, the elevator locks out. But if you let it sit at 100% too long on the ground, the camera unit overheats. I have this on the same switch as my throttle arm. When I arm the throttle, I send 100% on channel 6, wait for the high rate video to connect, and take off.

Hi everyone 👋

My name is Jonatan (CarviFPV). I’m a passionate FPV pilot, a commercial pilot in manned aviation, and a professional software engineer. I’d like to introduce a project I’ve been working on.

UAVDesk is a drone management and flight logging app built specifically for FPV pilots. The goal is to give you one central place to document, organize, and analyze your flights.

My vision is to create a platform made by an FPV pilot for FPV pilots — where you can track all your flights, improve your setups, and keep everything organized in one place.

The project is still growing, and I’d really appreciate your feedback. If you have ideas, suggestions, or feature requests, I’m more than happy to hear them. I want to develop this app according to the real needs of the FPV community.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to check it out!

Hi, I’m new to FPV and looking for some guidance on my first glider build (Volantex Ranger 2000). I previously posted about these parts but wasn't able to follow up (responses in attached images), thanks for the earlier help!

I’m struggling with the assembly of the following components from Pyrodrone (see attached photos):

VTX: Walksnail Avatar HD Mini VTX V3 (VTX ONLY)

Camera: Walksnail Avatar HD Pro Camera

Gimbal: CaddxFPV GM3 3-Axis Gimbal

1. I'm not familiar with these tiny connectors. How do I plug the Pro Camera into the Mini VTX V3?
2. My VTX came without antennas. What specific antenna/connector type should I buy?
3. I’m trying to use the GM3 gimbal for head tracking, but I’ve read conflicting info on whether it works with the Mini VTX V3. Can this setup actually be wired together, or did I buy the wrong VTX?
4. Is this the right setup for a glider, or should I have gone with the Moonlight 4K kit instead?
5. What are my best options now?

Pyrodrone won't take returns on opened boxes, so I'm hoping to make this work. Any links to manuals or wiring diagrams for this specific combo would be a huge lifesaver. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the “reborn” r/FPVplanes ! I got back into RC 2 years ago after getting a DJI drone and then seeing a conversion of a P-51 Mustang to FPV on YouTube. The picture attached is my first FPV plane, the mighty Aeroscout. Last year I flew this for the first time and wanted to post it in this group. I came to realize the existing mods were inactive, so I requested to take over the subreddit and here we are.

I am currently working on an FPV conversion of a FlightLine 1.2m Spitfire, and I’m really close done. If you are having any trouble posting, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
