Released in late 2015, ImmersionRC’s<\/a><\/strong> Vortex 250 PRO is an almost unbreakable 250-class racer that is<\/strong> easy to tune and to repair in the field<\/strong>, thanks to its upgraded on-screen display and intelligently integrated subsystems.<\/p>\n The 250 PRO has everything a budding drone racer could want packaged into an easy-to-learn and forgiving platform that can also WIN races.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The secret of the new Vortex 250 PRO’s durability is found in its materials and construction. The 250 PRO uses 4mm-thick carbon fiber (CF) flat arms that are damn near unbreakable. There’s also a 2mm-thick CF top plate and 2mm-thick FR4 skid plates.<\/p>\n All of this combines to make the 250 PRO far more crash-resistant than most other racing drones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The 250 PRO is also a major upgrade from ImmersionRC’s popular Vortex 250 racer<\/strong> in several key ways. Some of the differences include:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ImmersionRC Fusion flight controller<\/strong> gets an extensive update for the Vortex 250 PRO. The F\/C processor is updated to an F3, and 2MB of BlackBox log storage is now included.<\/p>\n The new processor has twice the performance of the F1, enabling faster loop times and quicker flight performance. PIDs are now configurable via the on-screen display, using menus.<\/p>\n One of the problems w\/ the F1-based unit was a weak lost drone alert. This one is MUCH louder.<\/p>\n In addition, a port has been added for direct serial receiver hookup, with 5 volt and 3.3 volt supply choices.<\/p>\n The Fusion Gen2 also comes with CleanFlight<\/a> <\/strong>pre-installed.<\/p>\n\n
