$195.00 USD. SKU FTW-HOP-EXK. In stock.
The Explorer Kit takes one Hopper from first flight to full expertise. Built for parents, co-ops, microschools, clubs, self-directed learners, and educators mastering Hopper before bringing it to their students. What you learn is exactly what you will teach.
The kit includes 12 months of the Build Fly Code platform, the same curriculum used in classrooms across the country. Then it doubles your hardware: a second Hopper Battery Pack with three batteries, a charging dock, and a USB power cable, six batteries total with your Hopper, four spare motors, four spare propellers, and an extra set of prop guards, doubling the spares Hopper already includes, and a full second set of body panels with a spare airframe with feet. Add a Hopper printed circuit board from the shop and the spares become a complete second Hopper.
Requires a Hopper drone, sold separately. The Hopper drone carries a lifetime hardware warranty.
Designed and assembled in San Diego, California. NDAA Section 889 compliant. Purchase orders accepted.

Hopper Firmware 2.0 is here. A brand new sensor fusion and flight stability algorithm delivers decisively better flight.
Hopper holds position better, responds more precisely, and handles rough landings without drama. Crash detection was rebuilt, so a normal landing no longer leaves the drone unable to take off again.
Every Hopper gets it. Free. It loads onto drones already in the field through the FTW Fly app in a few minutes. Nothing to buy, nothing to ship back, no new hardware.
That is possible because FTW owns its entire flight control and telemetry stack. American built, wholly owned, zero outside dependency. When the software gets better, the drones already in your classroom get better with it.
Watch the walkthrough, then open FTW Fly and update yours.
