Gemfan 78cm – Foldable Circular Gate for FPV Training
Gemfan 78cm Circle Race Gate is a circular gate for creating FPV drone training and racing courses. Its 78 cm outer diameter, lightweight construction and foldable design make it a practical course accessory for individual pilots and club training organisers alike.
The gate provides a clearly defined passage for practising precise approaches, altitude control and smooth exits. It can serve as the focus of a single exercise or be combined with other gates and course flags to create a longer FPV track.
Flight Gate with a 78 cm Outer Diameter
Gemfan 78cm has external dimensions of 78 × 78 cm. It is suitable for practice with small FPV drones, including appropriately sized 2-inch micro drones. Its circular shape helps pilots judge their drone’s position relative to the centre of the opening and adjust their approach before entering.
78 cm refers to the gate’s outer diameter, not the size of the clear opening. When assessing suitability, consider your drone’s overall dimensions, including propellers or propeller guards. There should be enough clearance for small control corrections during a pass.
Practising Precise Control and Consistent Flight Paths
Gemfan 78cm gives training a specific objective: pass through under control and continue flying in the intended direction. Repeated practice allows pilots to focus on how speed, altitude and approach angle affect accuracy.
Training can begin with slow, straight approaches while maintaining a steady altitude. As skills develop, a turn can be added before the gate or a pass linked to the next manoeuvre. This allows the same equipment to support both basic control practice and faster course runs.
Keeping the gate in a fixed position makes successive attempts easier to compare. Pilots can assess whether they need to improve their entry direction, speed selection or movement after the exit.
Lightweight and Foldable Construction
Gemfan 78cm Circle Race Gate weighs 99 g. Its low weight makes it convenient to carry, even when training equipment includes several drones, batteries, a charger and other course accessories.
The gate folds for transport and storage. Manufacturer-specified package dimensions are 30 × 30 cm, so it takes up considerably less space when packed than when ready for use. Its foldable design is well suited to temporary courses assembled at the start of a session and packed away afterwards.
Flexible Course Layouts for Different Exercises
A single gate can be used for repeated precision exercises, while several gates can create a course with consecutive turns and direction changes. Adjusting their spacing and orientation allows training difficulty to be varied.
A longer straight before a gate lets pilots focus on speed and altitude control. A gate positioned after a turn requires earlier flight path planning and a more precise turn exit. These layouts help pilots practise linking flight movements smoothly.
When setting up a training area, leave enough clear space in front of and behind the gate. Positioning it so it stands out against the background makes the opening easier to see through an FPV camera.
Installation to Suit Your Training Location
Gemfan 78cm Circle Race Gate is a standalone gate supplied without a mounting base. Support or suspension must be arranged to suit your chosen training location and course layout.
It is suitable for expanding an existing FPV course or creating a new practice area. Lightweight and foldable, it keeps course equipment compact and allows pilots to take a familiar training obstacle to different flying locations.
