Mini-FPV quadcopters are becoming more popular as they enable flight indoors when the weather outside is unfavorable. The ‘Tiny Whoop’ and ‘Inductrix FPV’ have paved the way for a number of cheaper clones, the Eachine QX90 from BangGood is one such aircraft.

Where/what to buy…
This mini FPV quadcopter can be bought with included receiver, therefore the only other components that you will need is a transmitter and an FPV headset.
One of the cheapest 2.5ghz transmitters available is the FlySky FS i6, we also reviewed a budget FPV headset which would be ideal for the beginner.
► Eachine QX90 (choose FlySky RX)
► FlySky FS i6 Transmitter
► Eachine VR D2 5″ FPV headset
As well as the above, you will require batteries and other spares, small quadcopters are easily damaged and therefore it is a good idea to order additional parts at the same time to avoid having to wait before you can fly again.
