FPV Guidebook · Drawn and flown in Berlin

Hi, I’m Ray

Illustrator and FPV pilot in Berlin. Every part rebuilt point by point in vector.

FPV Guidebook started as my own notebook: every part I bought, illustrated and labelled so I could remember how it worked. Pilots kept asking for it, so it became a printed guide, then a series, a sticker zine and an app.

Illustration, design and flying for FPV

I’m an American artist in Berlin since 2013, with a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and 30 years in graphic design, illustration and magazine art direction. Now my focus is FPV. My quick start guides ship in the box with 50+ RadioMaster products, and I’ve illustrated board diagrams for the open-source OpenIPC video project. Every illustration is built point by point in vector, so it stays sharp from a 5 cm sticker to a full-page manual.
