Fixed-wing or multirotor for your first TechHobby build?

A multirotor and a fixed-wing are different aircraft. The TechHobby wizard forces that choice first so a 5" freestyle BOM never mixes with a foam trainer list. Both paths can use the same EdgeTX radio. Almost nothing else is shared.

Multirotor first

Choose a quad if you want freestyle, racing, cinewhoop, or close-in FPV. You will learn props, tuning, and crash repair faster. A first 5" analog kit is the ₹22,000–₹40,000 parts band. Whoops use a different motor class — the Flywoo ROBO 1003 is 1–2S, not 6S. Talk to builders on Meet our team for a Jaipur consult.

Fixed-wing first

Foam trainers teach line-of-sight landings and throttle without goggles. FPV wings and mapping airframes come later. Servos, centre of gravity, and radio setup are confirmed on WhatsApp — not auto-checked-out. You do not need a 5" motor set or 5043 props on a trainer.

What you can share between both

• A Mode 2 ELRS radio — Boxer, Boxer Max, or GX12
• The ELRS bind and failsafe checklist, as a separate model on the radio
• Workshop repair for electronics that survive a crash: drone part repairing

Multirotor pilots usually start with that radio and either whoop or 5" motors. Either path stays India-ready: parts from stock we sell, assembly optional, and you stay responsible for DGCA and local flying rules.
