Things are heating up in the 250 racer segment lately with more brands releasing a number of models to cater to the rising popularity of 250 class racers. Not too long ago, Walkera dropped the gauntlet with its now highly popular Runner 250 which became the first truly RTF (Ready-to-fly) 250 kit that required minimal assembly and was ready to fly out of the box.
Now DYS has jumped onto the bandwagon with its very first 250 RTF offering — the BG-250. The new quad features DYS’s popular BE1806 brushless motors, Open Pilot CC3D flight controller, DYS mini 20A BLHeli ESCs and 5030 carbon fiber propellers.
Holding it all together is a carbon fiber frame kit with supplied LED lights. Judging from initial product photos, the frame has a striking resemblance to the popular Tarot 250 frame. Strangely, although the frame comes with a forward-facing mount for an FPV camera, the BG-250 itself does not come with a FPV system.
My guess is DYS is expecting buyers to mount their own choice of FPV camera and transmitter. It would be nice if they can offer a more complete RTF version that comes with its own FPV system. In that way, buyers who are keen to get their BG-250 up and flying fast in 250 races don’t have to worry about the fuss of making separate purchases for their FPV systems. After all, 250-class racers are synonymous with FPV.
