Great FPV gear at great prices
FPV IS ALL THE RAGE these days, and whether you’re into racing giant-scale machines, flying freestyle with a 250, or flying strictly indoors with a Whoop, you’re going to need a trusted source for good-quality FPV components. AKK Technology specializes in FPV cameras, video transmitters, and antennae, so you know you’re getting a product that’s specifically designed for what you’re doing. Not only that, but AKK allows you to return the product within seven days of arrival if you don’t like the way it performs.
AKK hooked us up with a few of its more popular products: the KC02 combo for full-size machines, and the A3 AIO for micro and submicro rigs. The only thing better than the performance of these two systems is their price. The KC02 combo features a Sony Super HAD II CCD 600TVL camera with a 600mW video transmitter, and it rings in at just over $30. Similarly, the A3 AIO is listed at $15.99 (as of this writing) and is switchable to 25, 50, and 200mW. Let’s take a closer look.

Windracers Mail Delivery
With its partner Windracers Ltd., Royal Mail has become the first UK parcel carrier to deliver mail to a UK island in a 70-mile, beyond-line-of-sight, autonomous flight to the Scilly Isles. Tasked to better connect the islands’ remote communities, a consortium including Royal Mail, Windracers Ltd., DronePrep, University of Southampton, Excalibur Healthcare Services, and Consortiq Limited is funded by UK Research and Innovation.
Counting Penguins
Counting penguins is harder than it sounds. With freezing rain, snow, and chilling winds that limit the flight windows for the surveys, it takes scientists using three full days to map the location of 300,000 nesting pairs of Adélie penguins on Antarctica’s Cape Crozier.
