What we do
- We only list what we physically hold. Item on site = item ships tomorrow.
- Pre-order model: we confirm demand, then fulfil. No phantom stock.
- Consumables subscription matched to your exact build spec. Every box correct.
- We track global component availability and publish what matters. You'll know before it affects your build.
- Your email gets one message: when pre-orders open. That's the deal.
Rapid growth in commercial drone operations — agriculture, infrastructure inspection, survey and mapping — is creating demand pressure on the same components cinematic pilots use. UK-held stock means that pressure doesn't affect your build timeline.

Questions
Before you pre-order
What's included in a kit, and what isn't?
Every kit includes the frame, FC/ESC stack, four motors, video system, receiver, props and a full hardware pack. Goggles, radio controller, LiPo batteries and charger are not included: they're personal choices pilots usually already own or want to select themselves. Subscribers get 18% off all battery orders.
How long does a kit take to arrive?
Kits are pre-ordered and fulfilled to order: we confirm your spec, then source, assemble and test your kit. Lead time is 3–4 weeks, and you get exactly what you ordered. The first cohort is capped at 30 kits.
How does the consumables subscription work?
When your kit ships, a subscription activates that knows your frame size, motor spec, prop pattern and connector type, so every monthly box of props and hardware is correct. It costs £22–27 a month depending on build size, and you can cancel any time.
Should I choose DJI O4 or Walksnail?
Your VTX has to match the goggles you fly with, so the goggle ecosystem decides it. Both ecosystems are available across the kit range and you select yours at checkout. Our DJI O4 vs Walksnail GT2 vs HDZero comparison covers the trade-offs.
Do I need a licence to fly FPV in the UK?
There's no licence as such, but for a quad of 100g or more you need a free Flyer ID from the CAA's online theory test, and an Operator ID if it has a camera. When flying in goggles you also need an observer beside you who can see the quad. Our guide to UK FPV drone laws in 2026 covers the details.
What do I get for joining the waitlist?
One email when pre-orders open, nothing else. The first cohort also gets 3 months of the consumables subscription free: props and hardware matched to your exact build, worth up to £81.
