Welcome to the Alpha Wing Project

Lifelong passion for flight. A storied history with RC and FPV. Lack of fulfillment in the day job. And staying up until 4am with our newborn. The perfect mixture for spawning a new company and a new FPV wing.

Hey, I’m Colton, the founder of Freedom Flight Factory (F3). When I see birds soaring overhead, I often feel a sense of longing. Longing for exploration and discovery. Longing for something I can't have. 

What would it be like to have the freedom to fly anywhere? 

And that is what FPV enables for us sapiens. Even more than full-scale aviation, FPV allows us to explore like a bird. Up high, dipping a wing into a fresh cloud. Down low, skimming the edge of a rolling wave. 

FPV gives us the freedom to explore. 

At Freedom Flight Factory, we want to advance aircraft design and enable everyone to experience the freedom to explore, anywhere.

But that freedom has slowly been encroached upon in the last few years.

Designated flying sites. Registration requirements. Even remote ID compliance, actively broadcasting aircraft and pilot location to the FAA at all times during your flight.

Regulations are important and can help keep people safe and protect the hobby. But unnecessarily strict regulations can also rob us of the very thing that brought us to FPV in the first place. 

We want to reclaim the joy of flying. 

Freedom from FAA remote ID.

Freedom to go beyond the local field.

Freedom to explore further. 

This is the F3 Alpha Wing. It's a sub-250g FPV wing, meaning it is free from registration and remote ID regulations. And, it breaks down into a day pack so you can take your FPV adventures anywhere you can run, hike, climb, ski, snowshoe, mountain bike, motorcycle or jetski to. All in HD.

In the next few emails, I’ll cover the entire Alpha Wing design process, from preliminary design to production. This newsletter will serve as my personal learning blog where I can share the design decisions, lessons learned and mistakes made along the journey to a new FPV wing. 

You're invited to learn with me as I design, test, and refine the Alpha Wing. 

Looking forward to adventuring with you and reclaiming the joy of flight.

- Colton (F3 Founder)
