This quadcopter may be the perfect entry level quadcopter for FPV racing. Buy it here BUT NOT FOR BEGINNERS! Beginners, this is NOT the quad for you to learn to fly with. Best for those who already have good flying skills, but now wish to try their hand at FPV flying. And even then, take your time with this one using baby steps. If you open it up too early, eh, just watch my video. You’ll see what may happen 😉
Pro’s
– Complete and ready to fly FPV racing set with quadcopter, controller/transmitter (rebranded Flysky FS-i6), FPV camera/transmitter/receiver, and large bright viewing screen.
– Fast!
– Tough, durable. Can withstand impact with dirt and grass.
– Big bright FPV screen.
Con’s
– NOT for beginners. Due to its weight and speed, this quadcopter can be dangerous. Also the stock settings may need fine tuned to taste.
– Little documentation. Required experimentation to determine operation of the switches. RCGroups would also be another good source for documentation
– The stock props are very brittle. If you crash, good chance that you’ll need to replace all four. But fortunately, they’re also dirt cheap, that is if you want to stick with them.
– Over 400 grams weight. Will require the pilot to be registered with the FAA.

Q : eachine assasin 180 vs eachine racer 250 who will win?
Hi Quadcopter 101. Got a couple questions what kind of props come with this
quad? Can we use a 6045 props? And battery can we use a 3s 2500 mah or a
3000mah.and flight time for that?Cheers.
How long did it take for the quad to come in once you ordered it from
banggood? Thanks!
Hey I’m a bigginer I’ve flown drones that you can buy at best buy so I was
wondering if this drone will teach me about the hobby because from what
I’ve heard there’s alot more to Learn in racing quads than toy quads from
best buy so if u can get back to me that would be great. or if there is
another drone that u think is better then this for a beginner plz let me
know.
how do I become a beta tester or product reviewer
whats the range for the video transmission ?
what is the grey camera on top of the drone called?
you talk too much.
Good review and sorry for your crash. The props are cheap but that sand is
a problem, need a small compressor handy. 🙂
Quadcopter 101 you have a good picture/video camera bird that can get in
place fast and scamper out that doesn’t have jello
and thanks for your review!
right after 13:11 is the best! i love the upside you in the FPV cam. ?
How long is the charging time?
You do realize that that the peel-off, protective film is still on that
FPV/LCD screen, right?
I just bought this for my first quad……
Need help!! My eachine250 keeps fliping over wen I put a camera on top. It
only flips wehen I try to take off. And I always stay in auto level wen
taking off to
if i learn to fly really well with my dromida ominus would this be a good
next step?
Question. My first experience with RC flight was with CCPM helicopters.
Then I moved on to 3d helicopters (Blade 400 3d) And can do the more simple
aerobatics with them. (Loops, flips, piros) But I am somewhat new to quads.
(I have a Blade Nano that I fly around the house on a DX6i) Would this be a
good step to get into?
great video 101, you are so lucky living where you do.All your video’s are
great,i watch lots of them.☺
What are the cheapest goggles I can buy that will work with this quad?
Quadcopter 101, What is the flight time?
Hi , i wasn’t to buy a racing quad copter what do you recommend me ?
i want a good what that doest breaks in crashes ,
I am verry experienced with big drones like phantom but not with real race
drones is this model good for me?
I’m willing to bet my paycheck that the HobbyPeople HPHeli BatFly Racer
250. (I have one). the Box, packing, chassis, motors (from what I can see),
battery compartment, same Rx 7″ display and mounting, specs, everything
looks the exact same except (for private labeling purposes to HP) that the
BatFly has “body parts” to make it look like a Batman Bat. Try and get
you’re hands on one to review please.
HP said you should set/calibrate the ESC’s to 400mhz to preserve ESC life.
Do you have any comments on that??
awesome review! Congrats! one question: How can I save the videos? thanks!
I like your videos but you may want to be more familiar with all functions
and controls before doing a review? In this video you were not sure of what
you were doing when switching flight modes, and I do not believe you are
able to switch off the “flight stabilization” on any quad as without the
computer aided stabilization they will not fly or fly for long with any
amount of control. The flight modes must adjust the degree of
stabilization, and/or the degree of control input, but not turn the
stabilization on or off?
hi! you can get cheap echine drones from banggood. Get $10 gift card when
you sign up here:

quadcopter 101, of all the people that i have watched that shows reveiws on
drones, i just want to say you do a great Job in doing what you do.
thankyou, your video’s are great. i have now bought a new eachine falcon
250. but it has a few flaws to it. first day flying it the stands that they
put on it was real weak. and they mounted led lights on the bottom of it,
you can see them at a distance even they are bright. i am going to change
them to a different location.

Hi I’ve been looking for a fpv racer becouse I want to get into that but
there are so many option my budgets under 300 for now and I’d rather buy a
kit becouse I don’t really know how to build one.Please help I have been
thinking about the robo cat but any thing will do as long as it’s easy to
fly but it can still do alot.Please and thank you.P.s love your drone vids
Hey! I am getting this as a Christmas gift to myself, and while I do have
beginner/intermediate experience with mini drones and others, I am still
not yet experienced enough with the technical things about FPV and drones.
I was wondering if you were able to fix the Gyro problem that you quite
obviously had with it? I have read other reviews of people with similar
problems, but they never said how they managed to fix it. Thanks for the
help if you give me any!
lol almost every time you test something… you crash it
use the eachine vr 007 goggles
i love your videos Quadcopter 101
Can a eschine racer 250. be set up for self-leveling
