Hello,
Ive recently crashed my FPV Racer (Pictures below).
The problem was I lost contact with the transmitter on my end and ended up falling from a 30 Meter Height onto hard concrete. Thought it would have completely destroyed the drone, but as i panicked and came to my destination which it fell to i realised the damage was not so bad.
As you can see from the pictures it broke all propellers, destroyed the battery and crushed the Receiver for my Spectrum Controller.
So what I'm trying to achieve now is this.
I have started to build a FPV Racer with an X8 setup to make the racer even faster, an a bit more reliable. Obviously its not the motor setup that makes it longer range, for that i will be attaching my Futaba controller so i can get longer range.
Here is a picture of my current progress, lol i know its just putting the motors onto the frame but bare with me i will update this thread soon and show you guys how it looks.
If anyone has any suggestions as to the best way to set this up or if you've already tried this and encountered any problems please let me know i really want to make this work.
Thanks!
Peter, Heli Bros

Hey thanks guys, yea i thought of that as well but as Jonathan explained they don't run with GPS and yes Muhammad, I'm going to set up my football to tell telemitry otherwise ill use the FrSky Taranis module which tells you all the stats.
Thanks for the reply guys ill keep you posted on the progress.
Grab yourself a FrSky module for your transmitter and compatible telemetry enabled receiver for your quad.
The transmitter module will beep at you when your RSSI gets low.
I us the DJT module on my transmitter and the D4R-II in my quads. This receiver is compact and has CPPM.
Most of the small quads don't run APM or any FC with GPS.
The only failsafe conventional RC aircraft is what position the servos and motors go to when you lose radio link... you should set it to turn off the motors to prevent a fly away!
Before you start building an other one, you should perhaps learn how to set failsafe first. Having the copter falling out of the sky because you lose coms, can be quite dangerous.
