Hourglass FPV Drone FOUNDERS EDITION (RTF) (PATENT PENDING)

Before purchasing a drone, you will be required to accept this drone purchase agreement at checkout.

The Hourglass FPV Founder's Edition (RTF) (Patent Pending) is a Ready-To-Fly (RTF) package that includes everything you need to get in the air immediately—no additional accessories or configuration required. Unlike the Bind-and-Fly (BNF) version, which requires separate radio, goggles, and batteries, this Founder's Edition comes fully assembled, pre-configured, and bound to the included RadioMaster Zorro transmitter. With ORQA FPV goggles, a high-capacity LiPo battery, and a hard case for transport, this package is designed for operators who want a turnkey solution with no guesswork.

The Hourglass FPV Drone is a purpose-built quadcopter designed for tactical users, first responders, and civilian enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance. Outfitted with 10-inch props, powerful motors, and carbon-fiber reinforced polymer frame, this drone is equally suited for scouting, reconnaissance, and deploying aerial radio repeaters. Leveraging INAV firmware, it features Position Hold and Return to Home functionality, offering semi-autonomous control when precision matters most. For those who prefer full manual control, ACRO mode unlocks the drone’s full freestyle potential—because while mission readiness is the priority, having fun is always a bonus.

Manufactured by 2nd Order Effects (2OE), the Hourglass FPV comes from a company that trains American soldiers to build and fly FPV drones. Now available to the civilian market, this drone is engineered for serious applications while maintaining a build quality typically reserved for military-grade systems. Every unit is assembled in America, using high-temperature-resistant PET-CF 3D printing and an innovative carbon fiber tube arm design for superior rigidity and weight efficiency.

Whether you're monitoring a disaster zone, extending off-grid communications, or honing your piloting skills, the Hourglass FPV is built to perform when it matters.
