Are you looking to build your first quadcopter? Do you want instructions
for every step from start to every step from unboxing to your very first flight?
I created the JB Xilo Beginner Build kit to make it as easy as possible for you to build your first FPV freestyle quadcopter. I picked all the parts you’ll need so you know everything will be good quality and will work together. And I made a complete video tutorial taking you through every step of the build, all the way through the first test flight. This kit is available with both analog and DJI video system, depending on your budget.
Although the whole point of this kit is to learn to build it yourself, you might prefer to have GetFPV build a “bind-n-fly” version for you, so you can see how a pro would do it. There are links to both the DIY Kit and the Bind-n-Fly (BnF) version below.
