Why a tiny whoop
The FPV drone
you can fly at home.
No field, no car ride, no waiting for the weekend. Put on the goggles, take off from the coffee table and you're racing through the bedroom door.
01
Fly in any weather
Monsoon, a 42° afternoon, 11 pm on a weeknight. A whoop flies in the hall, so the sky never cancels a session.
02
Built to bounce
Ducts wrap every prop. Clip a wall or the sofa and it bounces off, flips over and takes off again. Nothing sticks out to snap.
03
No pilot licence
Under 250 g puts a whoop in India's nano class, which needs no Remote Pilot Certificate. Airspace rules and common sense still apply.
What the rules say →04
The real skill
It is proper FPV: goggles, acro, gates. Pilots who learn on a whoop move to 5-inch already able to fly.

Questions
Before you buy
What is a tiny whoop?
A tiny whoop is a small FPV drone, usually 65–85 mm across and well under 250 g, with ducts around each propeller. You fly it through live video in goggles, as if you were sitting in the cockpit. The ducts make it gentle enough to fly indoors.
Is a tiny whoop safe to fly at home?
It is the safest kind of FPV quad: light, slow enough to control in a room, with guarded props that bounce off walls and furniture. Still keep it away from faces, pets and anything fragile, and fly where the people around you are happy with it.
Do I need a licence to fly a tiny whoop in India?
Usually not for hobby flying. Under India's Drone Rules 2021, nano drones (up to 250 g) do not need a Remote Pilot Certificate. Airspace zones, privacy and local or society rules still apply, and this is not legal advice; check Digital Sky for the current rules before flying outdoors.
What do I need to start flying FPV?
A whoop (a ready-to-fly kit, a bind-and-fly quad or a parts build), a radio to control it, FPV goggles, and a few batteries with a charger. A complete kit with radio and goggles is roughly ₹20,000–25,000. If you already own a radio and goggles, a whoop parts build costs well under ₹10,000.
How long does a tiny whoop fly on one battery?
About three to five minutes on a 1S pack, depending on the build and how hard you fly. That is why most pilots keep four to six packs charged for a session.
Can I try FPV before buying anything?
Yes. The FPV Grind sim is free and runs in your browser with no install or sign-up. Fly a whoop around a house and garden with a keyboard, touch sticks or a game controller, from a beginner mode that levels itself up to full acro.
How does shipping and returns work?
₹99 flat rate on orders shipped within India. Handling 1–2 business days, transit 3–7 business days after dispatch. LiPo batteries ship by surface only. Return unused items within 7 days of delivery by mail. Contact support before sending a return so we can confirm eligibility and the return address. The shop ships within India only; the sim, community and guides are open to pilots anywhere.
Fly the sim for free tonight. Order a whoop when you're hooked. Ships anywhere in India.
