Sponsor of the Lesson
The Prop Popper is an incredibly useful tool designed to make removing tight props from your drone quick and easy. It features a small tapered fork that slides smoothly between the propeller and motor bell, loosening the prop without damaging the motor. For those extra difficult-to-remove props, you can use the built-in plunger to push the motor shaft down and pop the prop right off. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn props or just want a faster, more efficient way to swap them out, the Prop Popper has you covered.
Mentor of the Week
AkiraFpV has been flying drones for as long as he can remember, but his passion for FPV really took off in 2018 after landing his first flip. Since then, he’s become a fierce freestyle competitor, consistently finishing in the top 3 of IGOW over the past three seasons and taking second place in the Pro Tier of Freestyle Showdown.
What really sets Akira apart is his incredible control and precision, especially in tight spaces where most pilots would struggle. He’s known for weaving together complex tricks with a level of smoothness and flow that makes his freestyle look effortless. His consistent ability to push boundaries while maintaining such fluidity has earned him recognition as one of the most impressive freestyle pilots around.
