Such a fun day. A small West Devon FPV meet was organised by the guys from BBRC. The location was perfectly suited to this sport with different sections to the garden with mixes of nice long runs, woodland and obstacles.
I have not flown with many other people FPV let alone racing them but I thought this sounded a fun challenge. So I packed the car with all my flying gear and made my way to Bideford to meet the guys.
We managed to get 4 mini quads in the air for a race at one point but other commitments made a few people leave as it was a nice day so that just left 3 of us to have some fun.
I was having major problems on the day with my FPV cam, the lens had become loose in a hard crash from another day and had about .1mm of play which translated to a very blurred and vibrating image which was intermittent but did not stop the day.
This was all for fun and to meet new FPV pilots in the area, it was so nice to meet such a friendly and skilled bunch on the day. I managed to get well over 30Gb of footage to make some video’s so my next video will be of the whole days events.
Big thank you to all that I met who made it an excellent day.
Thank you to the spotter and provider of the course Frequency9, he makes a mean cuppa too 😉

advanced course out again ;)
welcome jab1a 🙂
great Race track and awesome Speeds
love your vids !!!
+Armando Ferreira Here is the full race video from that report on Mini Quad
racing
Why not build a cage around it to protect the props? I know it would
increase the weight, but would it be worth it?
Ah FPV racing, someday I hope to get into this level of the “sport”. It
looks like a blast!
Epic
Wow these guys are insanely good at flying
So, now I need a podracer for Christmas.
Looking at you, +Mike Durkee.
what is your controller ?? nice video man !!!
Thanks +Alam Dias Here I am using an Acro Naze32 with Baseflight installed
using stock PIDs, however I now use Cleanflight on all my FC’s, both are
excellent firmwares for this board
Hi. I want to start build my own copter for fpv racing. What kind of parts
do you build in this copter?
whats the average run time on one of these drones?
+holden pattengill these quads only need to fly for about 2 minutes at high
throttle, on a 1300mAh I land after 4mins30, you could easily hover around
for 6 minutes but that’s no fun lol
Didnt i see a slowmo three quad wreck in one of your vids? Awesome vid.
Still waiting on my parts.
very cool
Bloody things sound like F1 cars flying by at 1:26! I’m hooked. Ordering
parts right now
+jab1a where to buy those equipments and how much would it cost for
newbie?
Does the control of the copters rely on first person view for control, or
not? if it does, how’s the lag?
Комары ёптить
sweet thanks!
at the other half of the video the drones keep sounding like
“….waaaaaah….”
What are advantages and disadvantages with a racer vs. Other types of
quads?
This is better than Formula 1
Nice !
Awesome video!
This clip is now on Australian TV News right now
Bernie Ecclstone might want to look into this. These sound better than the
current formula 1 cars!
so long paycheck
looks so fake but it´s real.
Reminds me of a park near Tyseley, Birmingham.
what frequencies are these guys using for their video rx/tx?? 5.8ghz?
900mhz? im gonna build my first quad soon and im trying to figure out what
i should start with

Cool video! I’m just now getting into drones/quads, I also subscribed fell free to check out my channel and subscribe if you’d like thanks.
What did u use those little gates on the groumd like the orange foam tunnwl things
after watching this i am starting FPV quadcopter racing. can you recommend which quad copter i am best getting.
Love the minis and am looking at the JJPro P130 Battler Tri-Blade as my next Rotorbird!! Thanks for the great video!! You gave me an idea , I will have to get me some foam float sticks for ground hoops. Just saw them at Family Dollar for like $2 each. I saw my niece and nephew playing with some in the swimming pool, but never thought of using them for this…lol. and good protection for my quads!!
Have to say this is the first racing video I watched and was the video that got me into drone racing one year ago
Hey! Thanks for the video! What kind of camera and transmitter do you use on these? I guess lightness is most important? Or do you look at a decent mW rating as well?
wow that’s very fast
Nice video & thumbs up. Cheers from sunny Sint Maarten
CHECK IT ………………
great video, that looked great fun, just getting into it myself, what flight controller and transmitter do you use guys
This is just awesome. As an RC maniac I think it’s amazing how far RC anything has come in these past couple years.
Love the drive by
This is why all the jocks in high school are secretly jealous of the nerds.

My friend and I are looking to buy some Quadcopters to race. We don’t have much money so what would you recommend as a good starting Quad
