    Definitely will have nothing to do with ama. I will serve as the Race Steward. Rules are simple but fluid. See next post for links. I am not worried about liability. It's just a bunch of guys getting together and flying. The locations I chose are not parks. Rarely are there people around but...

    Which is faster? A race prep'd 250 or 450.

    Whenever I see a racing video where there is no spec (aka mix of sizes/machines/etc) it seems the 250's always beat the 450's. But is it due to the size, setup or the skill? I did a shoot out video comparing two "typical" race setups on a 250 and 450. 250: 2204 2300kv/3s/6x4.5 450: 2212...

    Any one of the Chine 250's. I paid $90 for my flip260 (g10) and $26 for a 250 that also supports 6" blades from myrcmart.com (CF).

    I fly a Flip260 that handles 6" blades without cutting into the frame. The original qav unfortunately only handles 5" blades and doesn't have an upper frame that is equal to the bottom to add protection the fpv cam. I just got a nice 250 frame from myrcmart that has the above features for $25...
