X215 PRO 215mm FPV Racing Drone - BNF

The X215 has blown me away. It flies so smoothly and has such great responsiveness and punch. So nice to fly even on stock pids. F4 FC, Dshot 600, SBus receiver and dynamic filtering combine to create a superb flying experience. Motors cool with all static notch filters off, PT1 enabled and D filter off (frequency set to 0 in Betaflight filters tab). Mine has a Holybro Kakute F4 FC but I think the later ones have an Omnibus F4 FC. Came with BF 3.2 installed so I have flashed it to 3.2.1. I've just maidened this excellent machine in 45mph gusting wind and it coped fine !! It does do 80+mph after all. 4S 1300mAh 65C batteries working perfectly. Furibee have cornered the market with their new releases. I have a Q95 and Darkmax on order and I am seriously considering a 220GT as the design, components and general flying experience are all top notch. Viva Furibee !!

Suggestion

Had to solder Walkera SBus receiver to Flight Controller but not too fiddly. Props are pink!

Got mine a month ago and they really improve the quality since all the review pointing out the major defaults on it.

So, Big upgrade :
-As you can see on the picture they added a shield under the vtx to prevent the lines on the FPV screen/goggle.
-Everything was correct in Betaflight

Minor upgrade :
-They zip tie the antenna through the little hole (seen on picture) letting the space to mount correctly your camera without struggling with the antennas in the way
-In the box, the props and the pagoda antenna was not mount on the quad wich is great and prevent damaged parts during the transport (3 sets of props was in individual bags instead of just dropped in the box)

Suggestion

-The velcro strap's too short for handling correctly a 3s battery (can barely wrap a 4s) and no anti-slip on it
-Would be great to have a pad fixed (or shipped with) under the quad to fix your battery. With the screws you can't put correctly a battery on it without risking of damaged this one.

After six months of flying, I can say that the Furibee X215 Pro is a really good racing quad, maybe a little heavy due to aluminium cage, but really sturdy on crashes. With 4S LiPos the motors have a lot of power. The propellers are strong enough and you'll get a total of three sets included in the bundle. The included FrSky XM+ is a good receiver, it lacks telemetry but you can easily flash it with firmware that allows you to send RSSI value to an AUX channel of your FC so that it can display it on OSD.
No complains about the VTX too, except that it lacks of Tramps or SmartAudio and so you can't control it by your RC.
Very satisfied!

Suggestion

None.

Price. I was expecting a Kakute F4 flight controller to be installed as advertised. Since I wanted the FC I figured I'd get this BNF so I can get some motors and a AIO ESC. To my surprise I discovered that they decided to change to a different FC in the middle of the production run without changing their marketing materials. I feel duped. Not my first rodeo though! I will research more next time and I stopped listening to the "reviewers" because they are all about as helpful as a coin toss when it comes to arming the consumer with the info they need to make an informed decision. I guess this is my pro/con section.

Suggestion

It came with a motor that makes a loud rattling noise when spun. I hope it works at all... Good luck potential buyers. The misleading marketing that lead me to falsely believe that this quad came with a Kakute F4 is another reason to consider this purchase carefully before clicking buy! At this time, I cannot recommend that anyone buy this quadcopter for any reason unless you like buying spare parts grab bag style.

The FuriBee X215 Pro is very robust and the electronics are very well protected by the aluminum egg. The race drone is a real powerhouse - I'm really excited.
The FuriBee X215 Pro responds very well to the controls. So accurate that I fly him in a very small space in the apartment.
However, then pay attention to the carpets. They also start to fly. :D
At the moment I am flying with a 11.1 V 40C 1500 mAh. With a flight time of 7 minutes. But it certainly depends on the style of flight.

Suggestion

I'm sorry. I could not find any negative.
Can not say a bad thing about the FuriBee X215 Pro.
