Walkera Runner 250 & Runner 250 Advance
Strong, Brave, Tough and Ferocious!
Specifically designed for the FPV Racing fraternity.
The modular design of the Walkera Runner 250 allows the Pilot to change out race damaged components in a matter of minutes as you’ll see at QuadsForFun Homepage.
The Speed controllers, flight controller, FPV Transmitter, receiver, OSD and LED Lights are designed to literally plug straight into the integrated printed distribution board meaning no soldering is required, making the Runner 250 super easy to build and repair.
The full carbon fiber main frame of the Walkera Runner 250 is super compact and tough and can easily handle those inevitable collisions while the built in forward and rear LED lights help the Pilot with orientation when flying the Runner 250.
The onboard OSD module overlays the Pilot flight footage with available telemetry such as battery voltage and the Runner 250's tilt angle.

Walkera Runner 250 (GPS) ADVANCE
The Walkera Runner 250 Advance, as the name suggest, is the new version of Runner 250. It incorporates the use of GPS by market request, and yet retain the backpack quadcopter size of 250 mm. Adding GPS features to a racing quadcopter it looks maybe somehow inappropriate but, taking into consideration that the Walkera Runner 250 Advance has about 1000 meters flight range it is very nice to have a security tool in case the pilot can’t find the way back. It introduces the latest Walkera modular component design to make assembly fast, easy and upgradable. Something familiar for pilots, it brings functions such as Return to Home and GPS Altitude Hold. Upon Return to Home, the Runner will ascend to 15 meters from the ground to avoid hitting obstacles or maintain the same altitude if it is already above 15 meters. Another highlight is the camera, capable handling low-light performance during sunsets or just street lights, which allows the Pilot to enjoy easy night flights. With the help of colorful LEDs and Turn lights indicators, night flying will be easier as never was! The specification of the camera is 12 million pixel, 1080p, 60fps. The version with the telemetry data, the OSD displays flight modes, the Pilot position, home direction, yaw angle, battery status…to name a few. Carefully designed to the last detail, a buzzer alarm will sound if you lose a signal and it will assist the Pilot to locate the quadcopter.
