Eachine RTF V Tail 210 FPV Racing Drone Flight Test Review

This extreme V tail racer is loaded with features including GPS, OSD, 1080p 60fps DVR camera, and a super fast SP F3 EVO flight control board. Buy it here
Pros
- RTF version flies great out of the box with its stock settings. I only did minor Cleanflight mods to add Horizon mode, and to activate failsafe on the Eachine i6 transmitter.
- Extremely maneuverable. Can do very tight turns.
- GPS integrated with on screen display (OSD) to provide real time and pertinent flight parameters via FPV.
- HD 1080p 60 fps video camera with digital video recorder. No need to add an external camera to record your flight.
- includes new fast F3EVO flight controller. Although I didn't look for it, supposedly also includes microSD card slot for logging flight parameters (maybe that other USB port is for accessing the card's data?).
Cons
- The camera is very exposed on the nose, and may break easily in a crash. The camera's micro SD card slot, and activation switch are also difficult to access.
- The FPV antenna is a horizontally oriented monpole antenna. Not exactly the best antenna or orientation for FPV reception from a yank and bank racer. And it shows with quite a bit of breakup in reception. Folks might consider modding to replace with a circular polarized antenna.
