Plan an FPV build without the magic smoke

On desktop: goals and filters on the left, slots in the middle, and a live part catalog on the right. On mobile, open Build goals when you need filters, then pick slots and parts below. Export a spreadsheet-friendly table anytime. Estimates are approximate — verify on the retailer site before buying.

Build goals

Optional filters narrow each slot’s catalog. Open a section to tune compatibility; leave fields on “Any” to see everything that still matches flight style.

Flight style & build class

Flight style

Build class

Narrows frames and props by typical prop diameter for that class.

Prop & stack fit

Exact prop / frame class

Fine‑tunes frame and prop lists (overlaps with build class).

Stack mounting

Frame must list this pattern; FC / ESC must match.

ESC / FC form factor

Video chain

Video ecosystem

Camera size

Filters cameras (nano vs micro, etc.).

Motors & props

Motor KV band

KV is always paired with pack voltage: e.g. typical 5″ builds use higher KV on 4S and lower KV on 6S for similar full-throttle RPM. Retail listings (QuadPartPicker-style) often show separate 4S vs 6S KV for the same motor. Use custom min/max below for an exact range.

Custom KV range (optional)

Min

Max

When either value is set, it overrides the KV band above.

Motor stator size

Prop mount

Battery & power

Preferred cell count

Filters batteries that match this S count and motors whose cell range includes it. Pair with a KV band above (e.g. 6S 5″ → lower KV than 4S 5″).

Battery chemistry

Battery connector

Radio link

Receiver family

Matches protocol name (ELRS, Crossfire/Tracer, FrSky).

Starters

Budget 5" Freestyle

Analog 5", 4S, common stack sizes.

HD 5" (DJI O3)

Digital HD video chain; check stack fits your frame.

3" Cinewhoop-style

Smaller frame; mind prop size vs motor KV and battery.

9 slots — pick one in the middle column to load parts beside it.

Pick a slot below, then choose a part in the catalog under it.Select a slot in the middle column; the catalog on the right updates live. Goals on the left narrow what appears.

Slots

Export: one row per part with specs and links — import CSV in Google Sheets via File → Import.

Frame

Defines prop size and stack mounting options.
