Unpacking the Axisflying Vertex 5 DC, a fully enclosed 5" with modular features.

Motors, battery and side plates all come off. Crash it, swap the part, keep flying.

Comes with O4 Pro, GPS and ELRS 2.4GHz already fitted.

Adriano thinks it’s pretty innovative. Watch and tell us what you reckon.

2027 is going to be an epic year of FPV drone racing! We’re looking forward to supporting all pilots, and Australian FPV Association Inc., next season. 🔥

Introducing the Australian Drone Racing Championship.

Proudly brought to you by AUFPV and our Championship title sponsor MantisFPV.

The Championship is a chance for pilots to race at major events with friends around the country. Our racing calendar is already packed so many amazing events, the championship is designed to give them all relevancy and to tie them together into a massive racing season.

All events will be sanctioned by AUFPV, with clubs able to host their own events alongside already established ones such as the Avalon Airshow, Tiny Whoop Championships and more.... Oh yeah.... its also Multi-class. We want the best of the best racing, competing and winning. Any drone. Any state. Any time!

The Champion will be crowned at the 2027 Australian Drone Nationals. The Nationals, acts as the grand final for the Championship - worth 3x points for the season. Who knows.... the Championship could come down to the last race of Nationals!

Check out https://aufpv.org.au/ for more details. The first event of the inaugural season is a Tier 3 Club event hosted by Canberra Multirotor Racing Club this month!

We will see you on the track!

Mistake #5 of 5 beginners keep making: bad soldering 🔥

Cold joints and blobby pads cause heaps of mystery problems, from video dropouts to motors twitching or not spinning at all. A good joint should be shiny and smooth, not dull and lumpy. Set yourself up properly:
✅ Quality iron at around 380°C
✅ Good hobby solder and some flux
✅ Tin your pads and wires first
❌ Cheap gear that fights you every step

Still stuck? Come see the team in store at Rydalmere and we'll help sort your build.

We visited Australia’s busiest parcel facility! 📦

Your FPV gear passes through here on the way to you, so we went to see it for ourselves.

Christmas is fast approaching and we’re gearing up.

Unboxing the RadioMaster GX15 MAX

Top-mounted touchscreen, CNC Hall gimbals, ELRS Gemini with built-in antennas and a carbon-look shell. Built for wings, gliders and helis, and it feels the part.

One surprise though, it doesn't fit a 21700. Stick with 18650s.



Available at MantisFPV with world-wide shipping from Australia.

Mistake #4 of 5 beginners keep making: killing their batteries 🔋

Keep an eye on per-cell voltage in your OSD:
4.2V = full send
3.8V = halfway
3.5V = land. Right now.

Push past that and you're cooking your packs and buying new ones way sooner than you should.

What's your landing voltage? 👇

Unboxed the Axisflying VERTEX 5 and the motor fell off 💀

Jokes, it's meant to do that. Modular motors, modular battery, modular side panels. Crash it, swap it, send it again! 😅

Fully enclosed 5 inch cinematic quad with O4 Pro, GPS and ELRS, all in at 460g.

Would you have panicked too? 👇

Mistake #3 of 5 beginners keep making: skipping the Betaflight basics 💻

You don't need to be a tuning wizard. Just get your ports, receiver, modes and failsafe sorted and most "won't arm" problems disappear.

Which Betaflight tab confused you most when you started? 👇
