Are you into quadcopters, hexacopters, octacopters, UAVs or drones? Fancy having a go at FPV racing, mastering aerial photography or filming interesting locations from the air? Need help building or setting up your multi-rotor? Confused about which model to buy? Worried about staying on the right side of the law? Then you need a copy of the latest Drone Zone special issue from the publishers of RC Rotorworld, the UK’s best-selling model helicopter magazine.

Drones have hit the headlines recently as their popularity increases and people find a wide variety of uses for them. A key driver in the drone explosion is just how easy they are to fly. Thanks to the inherent extra stability offered by multi-rotor designs and the developments in electronic stabilisation systems, drones can be flown by almost anyone. And if they have built-in GPS they can even be programmed to fly a mission before returning home autonomously.

Another exciting development that’s being more widely used in multi-rotor drones is First Person View, often referred to as ‘FPV’. Using a built-in or mounted camera system, the pilot can fly their remotely controlled model as if they are sitting in the cockpit by watching the relayed video feed through a transmitter mounted screen or special headset device which offers a whole new dynamic way of piloting a multi-rotor model.

This special issue of Drone Zone offers expert buying advice, reviews of the latest machines and accessories, tips on where and how to fly safely, in-depth features on aerial photography and video, build tips and technical articles, as well as general features on subjects including GPS, FPV and electronic systems.
