FlySpark 18 Inch Heavy-Lift FPV Drone | H7 8S GPS Quad with 5W VTX, ELRS 10KM Link, 30000mAh Battery & 12kg Max Payload

Key facts

At a glance

The FlySpark 18 Inch Heavy-Lift FPV Drone is an 8S GPS quadcopter on an 18-inch frame with an H7 flight controller, 300KV motors, a 120A 4-in-1 ESC, 15-inch propellers, a 5 W analog VTX, an ELRS receiver and an M100 Pro GPS, powered by an 8S 30000mAh battery. It is intended for payload testing, long-endurance FPV operation and UAV development by experienced operators. FlySpark lists a maximum payload of up to 12 kg and estimates 50–75 minutes of no-payload flight time.

Use cases

• Payload testing up to the listed 12 kg class
• Long-endurance FPV operation
• GPS-supported UAV flights
• Industrial inspection demonstrations
• UAV training and professional drone development

Standards & references

• Drone Rules, 2021 (Ministry of Civil Aviation, India) — With an estimated maximum takeoff weight of 20.0–22.5 kg the drone is in the 'small drone' class (more than 2 kg up to 25 kg), which sets registration and remote-pilot requirements in India.
• ITU Radio Regulations — International frequency allocation framework behind national limits on the 5 W video transmitter and control link.
• WPC licensing (Department of Telecommunications, Saral Sanchar portal) — India's radio-equipment licensing route; the catalog states the 5 W VTX must be configured to local RF/spectrum regulations.
• ExpressLRS documentation — Open-source control-link protocol used by the drone's ELRS receiver.

Intelligence Brief

Mission overview

FlySpark 18 Inch Heavy-Lift FPV Drone | H7 8S GPS Quad with 12kg Max Payload

The FlySpark 18 Inch FPV Drone is a professional heavy-lift long-range FPV quadcopter designed for payload testing, long-endurance FPV operation, GPS-supported flights, inspection demonstration, open-area observation trials, UAV training and professional drone development. Built on an 18-inch FPV frame, this configuration uses an H7 flight controller, 300KV motors, 120A 4-in-1 ESC, 15-inch propellers, analog FPV camera, 5W VTX, ELRS receiver with up to 10KM control range, M100 Pro GPS and a high-capacity 8S 30000mAh battery.

This platform is positioned as a heavy-lift FPV UAV with maximum payload capacity up to 12kg, subject to final motor thrust, propeller selection, battery voltage, frame strength, ESC current, thermal performance and flight-test validation.

PERFORMANCE POSITIONING:

• Heavy-Lift 18 Inch FPV Platform:
• • 18-inch FPV drone frame with H7 flight controller
• • 300KV motors and 120A 4-in-1 ESC
• • 15-inch propellers on 18-inch frame for clearance and stable operation
• • 8S 30000mAh high-capacity battery
• • Max payload capacity: up to 12kg

• Long-Range Control & Video Setup:
• • ELRS receiver with up to 10KM control range reference
• • 5W analog VTX for strong FPV video transmission capability
• • M100 Pro GPS for position awareness and GPS-rescue compatible setup

• Estimated Performance:
• • Maximum payload capacity: up to 12kg
• • Estimated no-payload flight time: 50–75 minutes under efficient cruise
• • Conservative practical flight time: 45–65 minutes
• • Heavy-payload flight time: approx. 18–35 minutes depending on payload
• • Estimated top speed: 70–105 km/h
• • Estimated no-payload all-up weight: approx. 8.0–10.5 kg
• • Estimated max takeoff weight with full payload: approx. 20.0–22.5 kg

APPLICATIONS: Heavy-lift FPV operation, payload testing, long-endurance FPV operation, GPS-supported UAV flights, industrial inspection demo and professional UAV development.

IMPORTANT USE NOTE: This FPV drone must be operated only in legal flying areas. A 5W VTX is a high-power RF device and must be configured according to local RF/spectrum regulations. Full 12kg payload operation requires weight-balance validation and safe staged flight testing.
