In this Instructable, I’ll attempt to give an as-comprehensive-as-possible introduction to the world of drone racing and freestyle. Please note, however, that this is a huge, complex topic, with hundreds of websites dedicated to explaining it. I’ll attempt to condense as much of this as possible into one Instructable that I’ll maintain to the best of my ability.
Before I continue, let me state now that this hobby is both expensive and time consuming. Don’t let this deter you, but in all fairness, be warned that you may wind up dropping $700+ and many, many hours on this.
So what is drone racing?
Drone racing is a recently created sport where pilots fly FPV, or first person view, drones at speeds that can exceed 100 mph (If you needed to ask). Reaction times and technology are pushed to the limit as pilots weave through gates, tunnels, and between poles, while VR-like goggles let them see exactly what the drone sees. (Notable pilots: BanniUK, Nurk, Gab707, Wild Willy)
OK cool, so then what’s freestyle?
Drone freestyle is a more relaxed, free way of flying, with no rules or boundaries imposed. Pilots “float” upside down in free fall, shoot narrow gaps, “wallride” vertical walls or trees, and perform flips, loops, rolls, and other maneuvers in smooth combos. Freestyle emphasizes the freedom of flight, as opposed to the human and technological limitations. (Notable pilots: Mr. Steele, Skitzo, StingerSwarm, Le Drib, Charpu)
So now that it’s defined, where in the world do I start?
Hopefully, you’ll know by the end, or at least halfway through. There are simulators, toy drones, simple FPV racing drones, high end FPV racing drones, and finally the custom build. My main focus will be on the custom build, as it’s both the most difficult and most interesting part of the hobby, and will give you far better performance in the long run. I’ll try to work through these in a logical order, please bear in mind that this is still a work in progress. **Disclaimer** None of the links included are affiliate links.
