There are tons of FPV parts out there and finding correct parts to build is one of the challenge and satisfaction. Its depend on what you want to build. In this post, I will share my current build (2022) for 7 Inch Long Range FPV Drone.
In case you are looking for reference, i hope this post may help you. There is no right on wrong in building a drone, use what works for you, that’s it!
Ok, so here is my bucket list and where you can find them. I am living in Indonesia, so, most of the link I provided here is from known local marketplace, Tokopedia. You may search on Google where to buy the part.
7 Inch Long Range FPV Drone Part List
I fly analog, so below list is for analog build and run in 6S. If you build digital, just replace VTX with DJI Air Unit or Caddx Vista.
And here are the parts list.
- Frame: Rajawali Krakatoa 7
- This is Indonesian local made frame, I love the design which is prop-free view. You can just use HD split FPV cam if you want.

- FPV Cam: Caddx Ratel V2
- Super recommended for clearer view even on dark environment, even though it is not recommended to fly at night (also law is prohibited! At least in Indonesia afaik). I have Caddx Ratel V2 on all my build. I just love them.

- Personally, I have never use Rushtank Solo myself, but for this build, I am gonna use it. Others review so far so good.
