Drone FPV Racing MMRC Round 3 Vlog – Race 1 through to Finals
Vlog style run through a day’s racing at Round 3 of this years MMRC Drone racing.
I’ve captured all the races Thomas did in this round and hopefully it will allow you to experience what a days racing is actually like. Keep in mind I’m also racing and spotting so it really limits what I can capture.
So at the MMRC Meets we have four divisions, C, B, A and Superclass, in this video I capture all of Thomas’ Superclass races along with one of Nicole’s (HarleyQueenFPV our only female pilot) races. It’s kind of interesting as you get to experience what it’s like for both someone starting out who’s relatively new to the hobby, through to some of the faster pilots who’ve been racing for a while now.
It’s been an interesting year for Thomas as he’s started his final year of High School and as such the workload has been a lot higher than he was expecting it to be. As a result of the workload, he hasn’t been flying much at all. In fact in the lead up to this race, he hadn’t flown all week. It’s kept him very much on edge because he wants to do well but doesn’t feel like he’s getting the stick time he needs.
Having said that he did well at this race meet and managed to get through to the final and have a great day with great people.
At the end of the video, I’ve included the complete results for the day. Just pause the video to see the final results. HarleyQueen FPV was in C division, I was in A Division as BMSweb and Thomas was in Superclass as BMSThomas

It is really interesting to watch some of the slower pilots… doesn’t make me feel so bad 😉
Impressive! Thomas is more than lucky to have a Dad like you backing him up too. The more I race the more I realize having a good spotter is super important.
very nice video! In the future could we get some stick cam footage please? thanks!!
Great vlog. Loved Thomas’ flying. Just amazing. What a great family sport. Nicole was cool to watch smooth flying and made second! Nice. Length of the vlog…not a problem. Spent two hours listening to BorisB, Josh and Skitzo talking about Betaflight, PIDS and filters. So yours was my get back to flying video!
Its great having someone about my age and in Australia that does quad vlogs!!
good!
Great Video guys , keep up the great work.
what props are on the helix Paul ?
I never get enough time to attend these events on weekends, so thank you for your awesome work in capturing this event.
Superb flying from Thomas & great to also share Nicole’s experience too 🙂
Been waiting all day to watch this and it was worth the wait! Awesome video, really captured the vibe of the day. Was funny seeing you and Jamie discussing the small over-under gate – I hit that bloody thing twice!
Does Thomas fly pinch? He’s awesome AF btw I bet your super proud mam that’s too cool.
only half way through the video bit I’ve got to say you are a very good pilot Thomas. ..
Well done Thomas and Harley Queen, bless her heart doing so well.
He’s so freaking fast!!
Random thought: would love to see Luke Bannister vs. Shaun Taylor vs. Thomas on a super technical track at some point!
Thomas, well done again Fella! Good fingers:)
Keen to see that video on the hall sensors you mentioned..haha
I will be doing that mod soon hopefully. Thx for the videos guys.
Really enjoyed that nice one paul and Tom
Crazy fast last round man! And yeah some more new young guns coming too!
Did I hear Thomas say that you should keep Hall Sensors cool? I’m interested to find out what the M9s problem is :p
