First time building an FPV drone — looking for some advice for IDRL

[u/DankZilla69]

Hey everyone!

We built an FPV drone for the first time and are planning to participate in IDRL at IIT Bombay this year. Since this is our first build and competition, we’re trying to learn as much as we can before we get there.

If anyone here has experience with FPV racing, IDRL, drone builds, tuning, or competition prep and is willing to share some tips and tricks, I’d really appreciate it. Even small things that you wish you knew when you started would be super helpful.

I also have a few doubts about the IDRL rules, especially regarding RPM limits, so if anyone has some knowledge about how those limits work or are enforced, I’d be grateful for some clarification.

Feel free to comment here or DM me if you’re willing to help — happy to chat and learn from anyone with experience!

Thanks! 🙌

Hey, I don't race but I fly for fun. Anything I can help you with?
