Frequently asked questions
What is a flight controller in a drone?
The flight controller is the drone's onboard computer. It reads data from its gyroscope and accelerometer many times per second and sends corrective commands to the ESCs to keep the aircraft stable and responsive to your stick inputs.
Do I need a flight controller for a drone?
Yes. A multirotor is inherently unstable on its own, and the flight controller's stabilisation is what makes it flyable at all, beyond a few seconds.
What does FC mean in drones?
FC is simply the common abbreviation for flight controller.
What's the best flight controller for an FPV drone?
It comes down to your build's size and stack format, such as 20x20mm versus 30.5x30.5mm mounting, and which firmware it runs, rather than one being universally best.
