Hey DIY FPV team, there is an online fpv shop in turkey, can you add it to catalog? Because it is really hard to find fpv parts here in turkey. Here is the link: https://www.fpvdronemarket.com

Thanks!

Hey DIY FPV team, every Iflight product is labeled "Rotor Riot" in the items specification in the catalog.

SIM UPDATE.

It is amazing to see so many of you enjoying the sim. Here is a massive list of updates and changes.

The TLRD is core flight feel is similar to, but tooling around it (calibration, mobile support, latency training, wing mode, physics sliders, onboarding) is dramatically expanded.

Flight & Physics

Video latency simulation — adjustable input-to-video delay slider with system presets, so pilots can practice with real FPV lag - (this is EXPERIMENTAL)off by default but can be toggled so you can directly see if latency effects your flying. HDzero pilots rejoice

Line-of-Sight (LOS) camera mode — ground-based spectator view as an alternative to FPV, land your drone where you want the stand, click the LOS view and now you can try your hand at LOS.

Fixed-wing flight mode — toggles physics from quad to FPV wing (different thrust/pitch dynamics, higher spawn with forward momentum)(experiemntal but has some basic functionality) this will be expanded in the future but it works for now.

Physics tuning sliders — in-HUD multipliers for drag, gravity, thrust, momentum (0.1–3.0×) with one-click reset

Battery voltage display — selectable cell count, affects available thrust

Radio / Calibration

Advanced calibration and radio set greatly expanded — manual axis-to-channel mapping (throttle/pitch/roll/yaw), per-axis inversion, plus a detectable "mode switch" binding to toggle Acro / Self-Level, dead zone settings, game pad options for controllers that have a centered throttle spring.

In-HUD per-channel trim — visual bars, ±/− step buttons, per-channel reset, and hold-to-accelerate adjustment

Device picker modal — manually choose which gamepad to use when auto-detect picks wrong

UI / HUD

Collapsible sections — Radio / Drone / World / Physics expand independently, only one open at a time

Fixed 320px panel with scroll — no longer truncates off-screen on mobile; slim webkit scrollbars

Welcome / onboarding modal — detects input type (PC gamepad / Android / touch / generic) and walks through setup

Help (?) button — re-opens the welcome guide anytime

Stick visualizer moved to bottom-right with cleaner integration

Inline tooltips and descriptive section headers throughout

Mobile / Touch

Full touch controls — TRY FPV WITH ON SCREEN CONTROLS -on-screen analog sticks, fullscreen button, reset; tablet/phone-friendly (seriously try this out, I cant believe how well it works. lt is not made to replace anything but it works surprisingly well on with touch sticks)

Responsive fullscreen handling

Maps & Data

User map save/load — store custom-built maps alongside the procedural default, fixed a bug resulting in some failed map imports, it should no longer generate an error. also the copy button in export is now correctly copying your map so you no longer have to ctrl + c.

Ghost lap import/export — expanded encoding/decoding for sharing lap ghosts

Happy Simming from

Stew , Toms and the DIYFPV team

ps I want to see the most insane maps you can create. In a future update we plan to greatly explan how many options you have to build that perfect map.

Hey stu! Loving the site been here a few weeks now catalog has been great 👍 👌 is the offer for a flight sim key still open??

Hi Stu ,Is the offer of a Sim Key still open , with DRL gone I need to try something else for more stick time.

We had one user send out some fake messages today pretending to be DIYFPV staff. We WILL NEVER ASK FOR YOU PASSWORDS OR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

Please report them directly to me or https://www.diyfpv.com/profile/tpetersons 

We are also implementing some new features from stopping this from happening again.

@uavfutures I'm PabloPa, the one who asked you about Walksnail or DJI. It took me a while, but finally I've ordered the goggles and the O4 Lite, which I traded for a TinyWhoop I had.

GIVEAWAY - Who wants a premium frame? - Thanks to NickFPV we have an Archetype frame to giveaway here on DIYFPV. Simply tell me your best moment in FPV. Was it seeing your build fly for the first time? was it flying with some mates at an awesome spot? Let me know. We will draw a random winner from the comments on THIS SPECIFIC POST. Good luck to everyone. Only leave one comment. Go check out the archetype frame here https://www.diyfpv.com/catalog/aetherfpv-archetype-5-freestyle-frame-kit-t700

This drone is a work of art. The propwash was next to ZERO and it is the snappiest most responsive drone I have flown in a long time.

What do you guys think of this Draco fpv system from HGLRC

Hey, I was looking on the radio master website (I'm in Australia) and I was looking at the prices of the customised tx 16 mkII max, I was wondering if anyone knows if the $529.99 is in usd or another currency.

Merry Christmas!

I'm so glad that your health is much better. I started building and flying because of you. I finally got my correct medication as well. missed you when you were gone but have watched every video.

This is for my xmas live stream here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbhFPTq17F4

Got the merch just in time for boxing day :)

I got an email about these. They are some ascent vrx modules. Very exciting times so we can use ascent with any of our goggles that have HDMI.

Details are limited, but I think we have a 60fps unit

the pro is 120 FPS and the max has some ost network stuff?

ill be chatting about it on todays stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7xUBprklB0

Artlynk FPV is actually insane.

Cheap digital that was surprisingly robust. Handled breakup and range like a champ. Digital FPV is about to get very very exciting in 2026. Here is a summary on why this is going to be a big deal in the FPV world in 2026

Specs

1080/60fps

200mw

60ms latency

The P1HD vtx was inside the aquila20HD. It was set at 200mw and I have only flown at my house and down at a farm. I have not tested any bandos or long ranges yet so everything i say could change and I do need to fly it more.

The picture I would rate at about a 7/10. It looks great but there was some smearing or muddying of the grass and fine green detail when moving at speed.

The break up was very impressive. I expected it to start dropping out, stuttering or skipping frames. But it felt very much like a caddx walksnail system in terms of reliability with poor signal.

The penetration was also better that I expected. Behind earth and trees it held the signal really well and my images were still clear and easy to fly with. I had 10x the amount of confidence with this system vs openIPC, ascent, edget3.

Range. I need to test this a lot more. I did no crazy range and I didnt fly until it dropped completely. (mainly because I didnt want to walk so far and im lazy) but even when out a few hundred meters it still felt great. Again i was expecting ascent, openipc performance but it was much closer to original walksnail

Latency. It is 60ms of latency. You can feel it, but nothing like some of the other cheaper systems. It does not compete with DJI, WS or HDz. but it was not terrible either. I could happily fly it everyday. For me it didnt really feel like the latency was taking away from my flights.

DVR - This is a strange one. I dont know what my pc does with the file, But when I watch it back in premier Pro it is all green and strange, But plays fine when I encoded it out.

The goggles themselves - I used the betafpv goggles that came with the kit. They had a lot of light leakage, were pressing on my nose and they only had 4 channels. BUT they were really easy to use, felt intuitive and I didnt get any eye strain. You could probably also use glasses with them TBC.

Price. - TBC but the whole kit is $359, thats radio, goggles, drone, batts etc. For what you get it is actually insane and I am very hopeful for the future of the Artlynk system.

Who should get it - I don't actually recommend this kit to any pilots who already have a setup. It is not made for us. I would want to upgrade all the kit eventually. But the artlynk system itself has great potential. If there is a VRX and VTX system in the future we can adapt to our current drones and goggles it suddenly opens a really attractive opinion for cheap digital FPV.

Overall I have been totally blown away by the Artlynk system. It is still cheap, still has limitations, still needs more testing, Still is only available in a complete kit. BUT it shows the tech is there and I can’t wait to see what it does in the future

Link to my video on it to really see what it is like https://youtu.be/vBuLGqxPG2E
