Introduction

Over the last few years the use of FPV in the hobby has increased dramatically with many fixed-wing pilots trying it out for the first time and becoming hooked.

Introduction

The Tello drone is listed for sale on the DJI website for you’d be forgiven for thinking that it is, in fact, a DJI product.

People have been flying model aircraft for almost as long as the first successful flight of the Wright Brothers. 

As technology became available, a smart chap strapped a noisy little internal combustion engine to the model and enjoyed and the trend caught on. Fast forward a few decades and land has become more scarce as the urban sprawl continued into rural areas.It’s one thing to come down and fly for a few hours and head home but those new neighbors live there and the novelty of model airplanes will wear off. This is the point where you start having trouble with neighbors, councils, and courts.

As you may have heard the war on hobby flyers is on, as the major corporations such as Google, Amazon and the Commercial Drone Alliance (which includes ford motor company, CNN and many more) have called to repeal a law known as Section 336.

In December 2017, Ballarat City Council removed the right for drone operators to fly their aircraft over public spaces in the municipal land.

Pilot Tammie Jo Shults was one of the first female fighter pilots in the US Navy in 1993. After leaving the Navy she joined SouthWest as a commercial airlines pilot.

Meet Mélanie Astles, the only female driver on the Red Bull Air Race circuit. She is set to race for her country, during the first French Stage in Cannes. No stranger to making history, Astles has truly earned her wings with a lifetime passion for aviation.

As HobbyKing News has previously reported, drones have been used to benefit society in a number of ways.

Many major drone operators, including those who are part of the Commercial Drone Alliance (not be mistaken for the Alliance for Drone Innovation) have called for a repeal of Section 336.

FPV flying has been labeled the next big thing in the hobby world. So if you haven’t already gotten into it you better start searching for the best FPV flying wing options for your first wing.
