Build It. Configure It. Understand It.
Ready to move beyond Bind-and-Fly drones and basic setup?
Our Advanced FPV Drone Building & Configuration Workshop is designed for pilots who want to understand how every component works, build their own aircraft from scratch, and gain the skills needed to troubleshoot, configure, and tune complex FPV systems.
This hands-on workshop covers the complete process of designing, building, configuring, and tuning an FPV drone for your specific application, whether that's racing, freestyle, cinematic flying, long-range exploration, or autonomous missions.
Things to Bring
- Your drone (if already built)
- Radio transmitter
- FPV goggles
- Laptop
- Batteries
- Any spare parts or components you wish to install
Or purchase components through Rising Sun FPV and build alongside the class.

By The End Of The Workshop
You'll understand not just how to fly an FPV drone, but how to build, configure, repair, and optimise one from the ground up.
You'll gain the confidence to assemble your own aircraft, tune it for peak performance, troubleshoot faults, and adapt systems for almost any mission profile.
If you've ever wanted to know what every wire, setting, and component actually does, this is the course for you.
