Before we dive into flight training, here’s how to get the most out of FPV Academy 2.0:

Being intentional with your FPV Training.

The biggest FPV mistake?
Going full send without a plan — or training so hard you burn out.

Training not only, but also your mind has all the benefits you need to train tactically. Real pilot hacks straight from the air-tracks.

FPV flying is solo most of the time—you practice alone, you crash alone, and there’s no coach telling you what to do. That’s where self-discipline comes in. But staying motivated is hard when progress feels slow. That’s why accountability matters. A great hack is to get a training buddy—

Here we cover the 3 pillars of good training and where good, mindful practices will assist you in training the best and most efficient ways possible.

This chapter covers everything you need to know in order to get your sim rigged up for your first simulation training.

Everything you need to know to get to your training tracks.

FPV drones and DJI-style camera drones are NOT the same thing. This lesson explains the difference and why FPV gives you total flight freedom.

Before learning tricks or racing lines, you need full control of your quad. This lesson breaks down the four essential movements every pilot must master first.

Hovering sounds simple, but it’s one of the hardest skills to master. If you can’t control throttle smoothly, every other skill suffers. This lesson focuses on precision throttle work.

A controlled landing separates beginners from pros. Nailing smooth landings makes every flight feel complete and helps build throttle confidence.

Turning an FPV drone isn’t like turning a car—it requires coordinating roll, yaw, and throttle together. This lesson breaks down how to make smooth, controlled turns.

Flying through tunnels forces you to maintain throttle precision and fine spatial awareness. If your throttle control is inconsistent, you’ll either clip the walls or hit the ground.

3D TURNS: Most beginners train turns on a flat plane, but FPV is a fully three-dimensional experience. This lesson teaches ascending and descending turns, adding a vertical element to your movement.

Slalom drills teach you rhythm and flow, two of the most important skills in FPV flying. This lesson focuses on linking smooth, alternating turns without hesitation.

Slalom drills teach you rhythm and flow, two of the most important skills in FPV flying. This lesson focuses on linking smooth, alternating turns without hesitation.

Once you master basic slalom, widening the pattern forces you to manage speed and commitment better. This lesson helps build fast, aggressive flow.

Apex Training combines everything you’ve learned so far—turns, throttle control, and awareness—into one continuous, flowing sequence.

This is where freestyle meets racing—linking powerloops and corkscrews into speed-efficient flight lines.

Ladders train precise vertical control—a crucial skill for racing gates and hitting tight freestyle gaps. This drill refines throttle and pitch coordination.

180° turns separate hesitant pilots from confident ones. This drill teaches fast direction changes without hesitation or overcorrection.

The Dutch 8 drill forces your brain to constantly adjust between opposing stick inputs, making it one of the best exercises for fluid movement and control.

This drill teaches how to hit aggressive angles without losing speed.

Your first full race-style track challenge. This lesson combines all movement drills into a complete lap sequence.

This is where freestyle meets racing—linking powerloops and corkscrews into speed-efficient flight lines.

Dives = commitment + visual discipline. You’re aiming for precision entry and clean pullout.

Powerloops unlock freestyle creativity—linking gates, trees, or even your own shadow.

The Reversed Split-S is an advanced version of the standard Split-S, forcing you to think and react in opposite movement directions.

Your drone isn’t just a gadget
—it’s a flying system where every part works together.

Understanding your components helps you troubleshoot faster and fly smarter.

ESCs are the power translators of your drone—they take signals from your flight controller and tell your motors how fast to spin. The HEART of your DRONE. <3

Motors are the muscle of your drone—they determine how fast you accelerate, how much control you have, and how efficiently you use power.

Receivers: Your Connection to the Drone

Your receiver (RX) is what links your controller to your drone. A good receiver setup = solid signal, no dropouts. A bad one? You’ll fail-safe and lose your quad.

Your controller (transmitter) is your direct connection to the drone. A bad controller setup = bad flying habits. A good controller setup = smooth, precise control.

VTX (Video Transmitter): How You See

Your video transmitter (VTX) sends the live feed from your drone to your FPV goggles. A strong, clean VTX signal = better flying confidence.

Analogue FPV = lower latency, cheaper gear, but lower quality. Still popular for racing.

Digital FPV = crystal-clear image + better range, but more expensive.

Pay attention to the direction of polarisation of your antennas (LHCP/RHCP) they need to be THE SAME on the drone and the goggles!!

Propellers: Grip vs. Speed

Props change how your drone flies instantly. The size, pitch, and material all affect control, efficiency, and speed.

LiPo Batteries: The Power Source

Your LiPo battery is the fuel of your quad. Picking the right one affects power, flight time, and safety.

A good FPV toolkit saves you from frustration, crashes, and lost flight time.


Here you;ll learn what you need.

Building your own drone is
the key to ultimate control and freedom.

You’ll understand your quad inside and out, making troubleshooting and repairs easy.

Should you build your own quad or buy an RTF (Ready-To-Fly) drone?

Both have pros and cons, and the right choice depends on your goals.

A well-stocked toolkit makes building and repairing your quad WAY easier. These are the essential tools every FPV pilot needs.

General Rigging Tips & Tricks (For FPV Builds)

A well-rigged drone = fewer failures, smoother flights, and less time fixing problems.
Here are pro rigging tips every FPV pilot should follow.

FPV flying is not the same as flying a DJI drone legally. Different countries have different rules, and breaking them can get you fined or banned from flying.

While FPV laws vary worldwide, there are some universal rules that will keep you out of trouble no matter where you fly.

Traveling with FPV Drones (Car & Road Trips)

If you're flying at new spots, bringing the right gear and planning ahead makes for a smoother experience.

Airports and LiPo batteries don’t mix well. This guide explains how to travel with your FPV gear safely and legally on planes.

Common Sense Rules for FPV

Many FPV crashes and legal troubles happen because pilots ignore basic safety rules. Here’s how to fly responsibly.

AUSTRALIA, US, and EU have different FPV laws—
here’s what you need to know before flying in each.

Losing signal, losing video, or losing your quad?
