I'm interviewing the holders of the world drone speed record. His drone went 200 mph!!!!! How do you make a drone go 200 mph and break a world record? You might be surprised to find out it's not 10S power! It's actually more about aerodynamics.

The AULine FPV backpack is AULine's attempt to unseat Torvol and ThinkTank as the leaders in the FPV backpack realm. When I first saw it, I thought it looked cheap and flimsy. But I think I was wrong. It actually impressed me. The big question is, should you trust your money to a company who's making their very first bag?

I'm going to show you every single step of how to build this $120 FPV Drone. This is my complete beginner guide, with all the steps, and all the background information you need to know. Don't think of this as just a how-to guide. I want it to be a complete introductory course to teach you the things you need to know to build FPV drones.
