Detroit Drone Meetup for mini quad first person view (FPV) racing.
I would estimate about 15 pilots tried their hand. The qualifying rounds had many victims! Control over speed won the day.
I managed to make it into the final round, qualifying in 3rd. The two in front of me crashed on take off. The other opponent was faster than me, but he unfortunately had some bad luck and crashed into the last hoop at the finish line. Good luck for me though :)
Good times. Thanks to Harry Arnold for setting it all up.
*Note: I don't like to use the 'D' word, "Drone". At the risk of being a hypocrite I am here because it is the name of the meetup group.
My setup:
Hobbyking FPV250 long quad.
2150kV motors
Afro 12A ESC's
5X3 props
1300 3S battery
Boscam 400mW FPV Tx
Fatshark Base SD goggles
808 keychain camera for recording.
