The 280 class FPV (First Person View) Racer with 6″ propellers has been enhanced to its third version, housing the latest electronics and a 15% lighter weight. With a design formed by professional racers, the Type-A frame has 4mm replaceable carbon fiber arms and a total weight of 417 g without a battery. This lightweight drone is fantastic for intermediate-level racers, an affordable ($360), ready-to-fly option for competition.

One of the cooler aspects of this Type A model built by Storm is that there is no soldering required. All the components are attached through simple electrical plug connectors, which lets you plug and unplug what you want and when you want. Combining this with the entire kit being ready to go as soon as you unpack it and toss in a battery, you have a solid option for pilots who love to modify their craft to maximize performance. A carbon fiber frame provides the durability required to keep your electronics safe for crashes.
