The drone itself is a 4″ long-range FPV flyer. That means that it is a lightweight and efficient drone that is better suited for long-range cruising, rather than high-speed flips and rolls. This is a better option for most beginners. You can still do flips and rolls, but it won’t have the seemingly uncontrollable power that comes with a typical 5″ freestyle drone.
The drone itself isn’t 4-inches. The 4″ refers to the propeller size and that is typically how FPV pilots classify their drones. The standard 5″ drone uses 5″ propellers. A smaller 3″ drone will have 3″ propellers. These 4″ propellers are connected to 1404, 2750 KV motors. These brushless motors are efficient and help to give this quad a flight time of around 20 minutes on the included 1100 mah 4S battery. You can push the flight time up to around 30 minutes with a 4S 18650 battery. The Novice IV weighs 215 grams with the battery
I flew it once and not successfully. As a result at least one of the propellers needs to be replaced. Maybe both. I am apparently not a FPV pilot...
