thats really cool, im itching to try something similar.

angled forward tends to reduce yaw response, angling out will increase yaw response (on a normal rotoation quad) we aheva very sucessfull one over here with 25 deg forward tilt and 10 deg angled in (all 4 motors have been reveresd from normal)

maybe you should :) our facebook group just hit 500+ members, 62 actual registered pilots and about 20 more "in build" , just riding the wave :)

I dont believe that particular brand of quad was raced ? All onboard footage was more than likely from a mobius, not many risk a gopro Our latest event, July 19th 2015 , listed teh tickets two weeks ago, have sold 48 out of 50 , will be a busy day :)

looks good, i am tempted to get one.

havent built anything stupid for a while............ Vtail quad...with a pusher prop Pushers have been done before, usually with a switch or slider on the TX....this one is controlled by the CC3D (so wont run when disarmed) With this one, pitch stick back has the quad pitch back...

You got me there... we havent set up an official checksheet, its on the to-do list Basically, props show no sign of cracks, motors secure on arms, arms free of cracks, mounting bolts in place, battery secure, VTX/antenna secure. (i have seen a battery installed with 4 rubber bands...)

you are welcome, its all about caring and sharing... the guidelines are a result of some hard learnt lessons dont underestimate the 8 meter rule for solving frequency problems :)

Sounds like it will be a fun day :) One thing that gets overlooked is seperation of pilots from video transmitters, I have found 8 meters fixes most issues. posted up our current guidelines here http://www.multirotorforums.com/threads/new-zealand-fpv-racing-rules-guidelines.24874/

Thought I would post this up, its a work in-progress but incorporates what we have learnt so far when flying with more than just your mates. The Technical specs are based on the ones from GoDroneX from last year. Technical Specifications . SPEC Class Motors - Maximum of 4 , allowed sizes 1804...

Hey Ben, great looking promo poster, good to see you getting this off the ground ! Have you run any previous events ? with 10-15 pilots ? there are some learnings to be had. Let me know if you you have any questions

Available from Gear Best, use coupon code HBQ4M to get this for $23.99 (RRP is $39.55) http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_142606.html Gear Best asked me if I could do a review on this little quad, that when released was the smallest in the world. Having recently reviewed the SYMA X12 I...

heres some inspiration to get you guys racing from our fourth round this year - very well marked track on private property

The discount code has been discontinued, was valid for 4 months ! They have given me more to review, so more reviews and discount codes to follow, including an FPV one :)

Nope :) All had 500-600 mw transmitters, and the pilots were situated inside the track, nobody seemed to have an issue I had my doubts at first, but was proven wrong.

Thanks Gregg YES, used it for both the Hamilton event and the Levin Event Works very well, I use it for the frequency allotment, the use of color for each channel works extremely well to see if there is an issue. Have not used it for actual points recording, or for the pilots to see their...

Hi Bart , nope no set course, we make it up depending on the location. Held another event yesterday - we had a smaller group (7 pilots) and less camera men so less profesional videos. we had two tracks, one in a field, wind about 20mph gusting to 40, directly down the course , and the other...

We found a very cheap supply of duck-unders . Cheap Gazebos ($28 on special) have enough materials to make 2 duck-unders or one duck-under/fly over You can see them in action here , we had a figure 8 course with a fly under/duck over

Hi Guys, we held an awesome event, had 22 entrants, ran two classes (spec and open based on godronex ) about 40 spectators, on a very hot first day of spring in the middle of a farm paddock and the playlist of everyones vids Learnt a bucketload, am going to do a writeup soon
