Hi, we're Nine Lives FPV

We've been flying FPV since 2023 and started repairing out of necessity: the quads at our local field kept coming back in pieces.

Today we work on racing and freestyle FPV quads, whoops and cinewhoops, camera drones and agricultural drones. Soldering iron, bench microscope, and a flight test before anything ships back.
