this would be tons of fun. Finally a good use for all those phantoms.

a fat wallowy phantom would just get in the way until it got its arse stuck in a tree. hopefully that would be at a bend so it'd become a turn marker
I'm sure they do have a use; but I don't know what it is

theres a pretty big group on facebook racing down here... looks like fun.

Have you tried it? Been thinking of building one... interestingly i have never flow racing or acrobatics UAV's... Only serious larger stuff...

 

[DucktileMedia]

I think Steve is disqualified based on over experience. I can see a big gambling ring starting with this.

 

[kloner]

Hey Ronan, never tried me none of that there fpv stuff... wanna race for pinks? haha

Phantoms? Let's race our Octo's!

Building one right now.. and I 3D printed the entire frame!

 

[janoots2]

That's awesome! I'm planning a build too, this looks like a blast! I need to keep an eye out for some Black Friday fat shark deals, my pirate eye just ain't gonna cut it when I come over to Ohio to beat your rig [emoji54]

 

[janoots2]

I want to build a smoke screen system into mine - now that would be sweet. Maybe even some twine that flies off the back and wraps up a tailgater. Would need a backwards camera for that though too...maybe a second operator for those systems...oh geez...here we go again...

I just timed "drone racing"!for rotor DR1 and it was awesome. I want in!!

Janoots/Sleepy, start up a Western PA & OH group so our North Jersey group can school you guys when the weather breaks in the spring.

Dude? Do you you even FPV? You will be crushed!!!

 

[janoots2]

Cleveland and Pittsburgh have a deep seeded rivalry, but I think we would make an exception to crush Jersey! Maybe...

 

[Bartman]

Make a group, that's all I can say!

 

[Bartman]

I'll start worrying when I see groups forming!

 

[MadMonkey]

I've got some guys interested in racing at my club, and the go-ahead from the club president to trim some bushes to make a route (yeah, wimp move, I don't care, I've busted enough props at Turn 3 ).

Got a Blackout, spare frame to build another one, and my new Gemini just arrived. I can't wait to have others to play with!

you know, there may be enough Phantom 1's out there to do an FPV figure 8 crash up derby league.......hmmmm, where to find a dozen Phantom 1's for cheap???
