Which FPV drone size should I choose as a beginner?
A 2.5-inch drone like our Defender25 is ideal for beginners and younger pilots thanks to its protected design, while 5-inch quads such as the Nazgul offer the best all-round freestyle experience and 7-inch or larger drones are better suited for relaxed long-range cruising once you have gained some initial flying skills.
Is the iFlight Nazgul or Chimera a good first FPV drone for me?
The Nazgul series is widely recommended as a durable, high-performance first 5-inch FPV quad for new pilots, while the Chimera models are better choices if you already know you want long-range flying, making both strong beginner options depending on whether you prefer freestyle or smoother distance cruising.
What equipment do I need besides the drone itself?
To fly an FPV drone you will need a compatible radio controller, FPV Goggles, suitable LiPo batteries, a charger, and ideally a simulator for training, as well as basic tools and safety gear to maintain and operate your quad reliably from the beginning.
How long can these drones fly and what range can I expect?
A small 2.5-inch beginner drone like the Defender25 offers shorter but safe indoor/outdoor flight times, a 5-inch freestyle quad typically flies 4–7 minutes depending on style, and 7-inch or larger long-range models can reach significantly longer flight times and distances with efficient cruising, though both range and duration depend heavily on battery choice, video system, weight, antennas, and environmental conditions.
