UMP Introduces Affordable FPV Conversion Kits for R/C Planes

In August 2022, Un Manned Propulsion (UMP) Aerospace & Engineering unveiled a game-changing product: FPV conversion kits that transform any $30 remote-controlled (R/C) plane into a fully functional First-Person View (FPV) drone, starting at just $20. These kits make immersive drone flying accessible to hobbyists, students, and enthusiasts of all skill levels. Designed with simplicity in mind, the kits include a lightweight 360-degree camera, a video transmitter, and plug-and-play components that integrate seamlessly with most off-the-shelf R/C planes. UMP has rigorously tested these kits across a wide range of R/C models, from foam gliders to small fixed-wing aircraft, ensuring reliability and performance. This innovation democratizes FPV technology, allowing anyone to experience the thrill of piloting a drone from the cockpit’s perspective without needing expensive equipment.

The FPV kits are engineered for ease of use, requiring minimal technical expertise to install. Users can attach the camera and transmitter to their R/C plane in under an hour, instantly upgrading it for FPV flight with goggles or a monitor. UMP’s testing process involved various R/C planes, including those made from durable EPP foam and plastic, confirming compatibility and durability across diverse models. The kits support extended flight times and stable video feeds, making them ideal for recreational flying, aerial photography, or educational projects. By offering an affordable entry point into FPV, UMP is empowering a new generation of pilots to explore aerospace technology. This milestone builds on UMP’s legacy of innovation, as seen in our Watcher and Shadow UAS, and reinforces our commitment to making advanced technology accessible to all.
