Key facts

At a glance

The FlySpark LY10-X8 is a 10-inch, 430 mm wheelbase X8 coaxial FPV multirotor for payload testing, FPV training, inspection support and UAV R&D. It carries a 4.5 kg rated load (5.0 kg maximum) at an 8.0 kg maximum takeoff weight on 6S power. Listed rated-load flight time is about 9 minutes on a 6S 10000 mAh pack and about 12 minutes on 6S 16000 mAh.

Use cases

• Non-hazardous payload integration and sensor/camera payload testing
• Professional FPV pilot training
• Industrial UAV R&D and engineering validation
• Field inspection support with a lawful camera or sensor payload
• Academic drone research

Standards & references

• India Drone Rules, 2021 (G.S.R. 589(E)) — Rule 5 classifies drones by maximum all-up weight including payload; at the stated 8.0 kg maximum takeoff weight the LY10-X8 falls in the small class (over 2 kg up to 25 kg), and Rule 14 requires Digital Sky registration before operation.
• DoT Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) spectrum management, India — The 915 MHz control receiver and 2.5 W 5.8 GHz video transmitter must be used only on frequencies and power levels permitted by the spectrum authority.
• ExpressLRS project documentation — Reference for the ELRS915 open-source control-link protocol used by the receiver.

Intelligence Brief

Mission overview

FlySpark 10-Inch LY10-X8 Heavy-Lift FPV Drone is a compact professional FPV UAV platform designed for payload testing, fast FPV operation, industrial training, compact field inspection support, drone R&D, utility payload trials and custom UAV integration. Built on a 10-inch LY10-X8 X-type frame with 430mm wheelbase, this drone is smaller and easier to handle than 15-inch and 24-inch heavy-lift FPV platforms while still offering a strong 4.5kg rated payload and 5.0kg maximum load.

The platform uses an F405 flight controller, dual 60A 4-in-1 ESC setup for 6S operation, EM3115 900KV motors, HQ1053 propellers, ELRS915 receiver, 5.8GHz 2.5W video transmitter, 5.8GHz 151mm 3.5dBi antenna and optional 1500TVL FPV camera. The drone weight is approximately 1580g, maximum takeoff weight is 8.0kg and the maximum flight speed is listed at 153km/h.

The recommended battery is 6S 10000mAh 50C with LCB50 plug. With rated load and 10000mAh battery, listed flight time is approximately 9 minutes. With rated load and 16000mAh battery, listed flight time is approximately 12 minutes. This makes the LY10-X8 suitable for customers who need a compact, high-speed, high-payload FPV drone for professional non-hazardous payload work, FPV testing and UAV development.
