My title says it all.
I have a stubborn teenager (15yr old), who wants to get into FPV drone racing. He has been flying a DJI P3A for a couple of years now.
Instead of digging through forums as I requested, he watched youtube videos and came up with a list.
Total Budget is $500 or less.
Wizard x220HV
Flysky i6s w/ Receiver
Emachine EV100 FPV Goggles
Upon reading other posts here I know that rtkDarling and others recommend this to start:
Taranis X9d or Qx7,
EV800D goggles
Tinyhawk.
Questions:
1. EV800D > EV100? (Battery Life, Screen Resolution, larger screen = EV800, # of channels = EV100.) Am I missing anything?
2. Flysky i6s vs. Taranis X9d vs. Qx7? Pro's and con's of each?
3. TinyHawk vs. x220HV? I believe he wants to fly outside. The TinyHawk maybe a little small for that, if there is any wind.
4. He wants to buy everything from Banggood.com. I have never heard of this site. Have you guys used them? They appear to be a Chinese company with poor reviews....Any other online retailer recommendation?
I have him convinced to worry about the receiver for now, and hook it up to the computer, with a simulator to practice.
5. Affordable but decent Simulator recommendation?
6. # of Channels. I understand the basics...Throttle, Yaw, Pitch, Roll....but some of the goggles support 48-72+ channels. Are all those "extra" channels for the video feed?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you provide.
