Ready-to-fly (RTF) racing drones are the fastest way to experience FPV and one of the best gifts you can buy for your friend or family. They require no assembly and minimal setup. Below are some of our recommended RTF’s to buy for your first drone, or if you are looking for a gift idea.

The Tinyhawk III is an absolute show stopper for a micro-sized quad. It flies great and it’s durable as hell. Most people who own it have never even changed a prop. You can crash it and crash it and it will just keep flying. The Tinyhawk III comes set up for beginners, with auto level mode active, and slow rates that make it as easy as possible to control. But the Tinyhawk is so much more than a starter-kit. Once you gain confidence, you can set it to acro mode and up the rates, and holy cow, it flies amazing! You won’t outgrow this quadcopter. You’ll grow into its capabilities.

The goggles that come in the RTF bundle are bright and clear. Their resolution isn’t the highest and can become uncomfortable if you wear them for a long time, but they’re more than acceptable for a beginner just learning. When you eventually outgrow the goggles, you’ll still keep them around for spectators to share and enjoy the experience of FPV. The controller has been totally redesigned and feels more like a traditional radio setup. The gimbals are higher quality. When you first start, you won’t notice the gimbals holding you back. When you get good enough to notice, you’ll be ready to upgrade to a keeper radio.

The Tinyhawk II Freestyle is a fantastic micro-sized quad for a bit of outdoor ripping. It flies with a bit of zip and can take a bit of a beating.
Set up for beginners in mind the Tinyhawk II Freestyle is so much more than just your first quad. Once you gain confidence in the air, you can set it to acro mode and up the rates, and holy cow, it flies amazing! You won’t outgrow this quad. You’ll grow into its capabilities.

The goggles that come in the RTF bundle are bright and clear. Their resolution isn’t the highest and but they are comfortable if you wear them in stints but can become a bit much for a long session non stop. They’re more than acceptable for a beginner just learning. When you eventually outgrow the goggles, you’ll still keep them around for spectators to enjoy the experience of FPV. The controller is the weakest part of this kit. The gimbals are “toy-grade” at best. When you first start, you won’t notice the gimbals holding you back. When you get good enough to notice, you’ll be ready to upgrade to a keeper radio.
