Furious Moskito 70 tiny brushless FPV racer
In my opinion, thanks to the nice red/green contrast, the Furious Moskito 70 has one of the coolest design among the many ducted propeller drones.
The Moskito 70 is an Uber small and lightweight brushless FPV racing quadcopter. Due to the powerful 10.000kv brushless motors it is suitable not just for indoor flights but for outdoor flights as well.
Featuring the versatile F3 flight controller, the...
Warlark Pro brushless FPV quad
Lately I introduced many mini drones with ducted props, but this Warlark Pro will be the first which features penta-blade propellers. Frankly, I would be curious to test one because till now I was totally disappointed by all props over 3-blades. They are much more noisy.
According to your existing transmitter you can opt between 3 type of radio receivers: A-DSMX/2, B-SFHSS/FRSKY...

Unlike other Eachine mini FPV drones, this DustX58 comes only with FrSky radio. Paired with the X9D Plus transmitter you will have about 200 meters...

Phantom 4 Advanced with top-notch video performance
Few days before Easter DJI has officially announced a new member of their quadcopter family – Phantom 4 Advanced. Let's discover what brings new and if it's worth to upgrade.
In my opinion, like the Phantom 3 Advanced, this P4A was also developed in order to offer an affordable alternative to the "Pro" edition. This time DJI kept...
DJI Spark vs DJI Mavic: Worth to “downgrade”
Last week, most of the drone related publications were invaded with the leaked images of the DJI Spark drone.
DJI's new drone is also called by the enthusiasts the "Mavic Mini".
With Yuneec Breeze and other compact portable drones sold under $500, this new DJI quadcopter has to be priced at a similar level in order for them to cover this market segment too. Frankly, I'm very exited about this...
HELIWAY 902HS DIY building block drone
HELIWAY 902HS - Lego alike building brick drone

QI ZHI TOYS, an unknown drone manufacturer (at least for me), just announced their nice foldable drone called: QZ-S8 Pro.
Both aircraft and remote controller have a nice futuristic design. They remind me about the gadgets that appear in the Ben-Ten cartoon.
Thanks to the barometric air-pressure sensor, the QZ S8 quadcopter is capable to autonomously maintain...
DHD D3 aka Happycow 777-382 SKY Phantom
Thanks to its meshed protective case, the DHD D3 looks like the first drone in the jail :)
Joking aside, the DHD D3 quadcopter seems to be specially designed for first-time pilots. The full protective case allows 100% safe indoor flights. Anyway, in my opinion the extra weight of the frame must have some negative impact on the flight performance.
While the DHD D3 was announced...
