In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew unboxes and sets up the Rise Vusion House Racer from Hobbico. It has been developed specifically to provide new pilots with an introduction to First-Person View (FPV) racing. The House Racer, an inverted quadcopter design, arrives in a Ready-To-Fly (RTF) package, with everything required to begin flying all in one box: the aircraft itself, a 2.4 GHz radio controller, a 5.8 GHz video transmitter and receiver, a pair of FPV goggles, a battery and a USB battery charger. The House Racer offers three flight modes, including a fully acrobatic “rate” mode, as well as a dual mode selector. Setup is straight forward: the aircraft arrives already bound to the included control transmitter, and calibration is accomplished in seconds by a specific sequence of stick movements. Wall guards are included with the kit, to keep the aircraft upright if it bumps into a wall, and the 5.8 GHz FPV receiver has the ability to record standard definition video from the aircraft onto a MicroSD card.
