FPV drone racing – 5 minutes of “Team Nana” moments05:13

+metalldanny LOL…

+tnxmatze Yeah, I’m going to have to get Phil to show me how he does that
🙂

I blame that on the silly trees :P

+xjet haha 😀

You look like you are having way too much fun. Model planes are not about
fun. They are for talking about on the flight line where they sit for two
hours and fly for 5 minutes in the proper circuit.

Thats what aeromodelling is ……..

Oh yeah – I have been out to the local club field with my combat wing.
They were a bit more receptive than I would have thought however they are
totally anti-multicopter. That was made plain in the first few minutes. I
let slip that my wing has an autopilot and the dreaded word ‘drone’ came
out.

However I need their flying field as our planes are getting a bit dangerous
for parks now.

One guy, I swear, was there the entire two or three hours I was there and
flew his Cub once and that seemed to be a great achievement as if flying is
sort of an option.

The little run leading up the 4:25 crash was looking really slick Bruce.

+HighFlight2k2 Six props that day. I’m going to be testing some more props
soon… including the super-tough ones from Surveilzone

Aye that ground is a bugger,it always seems to appear just when you don’t
want it to 

+MOEMUGGY No speeding up there.. all is as it comes from the camera. Yes, I
really do fly that slow 😉

+megajig Of course there was… however, I usually start them by hitting a
tree or the ground 🙂

+MrShufty Is that the Mobius? Whatever it is, it’s terrible. Needs manual
exposure control. Is there a video camera with an “HDR” type of mode, I
wonder.

+Bill Roberts First bits were filmed with the Mobius and I switched to the
RunCam when the Mobius battery ran out.

+MrShufty haha you were right.

Am I correct in assuming that you’re flying horizon mode in the first part
of this video? The jerky movements are typical for horizon (or angle) mode
flying, whereas the clips from just before the RunCam footage and onward
are much more fluid and typical to flying rate only.

Is it flips and rolls next?

Haha!!! I do the same thing all the time as well! Its much easier than
trying to move the sticks… 🙂

Good stuff, and almost no trees harmed in the making of the video.

+David Kaden Absolutely… it makes a huge difference. The Mobius (with
standard lens) makes everything look slow — the RunCam makes it look just
like it does through the goggles.

+jchtr3ac Barry’s been working because he’s not really into miniquads and
now MFNZ have really screwed him by removing their “lone member” option.
Since he doesn’t want to join the local club, that means he’s unable to
renew his MFNZ membership and thus he loses his “wings”. What a bunch of
arseholes they are — Barry lives and breaths RC flying and now (likely due
to his association with me), they’ve changed the rules in a way that
effectively penalises him for that.

Arg, dang ol pesky trees, always jumping right out in front of you! I know
how you feel, I crashed and busted up a cheap hobbyking fpv250 last night
trying to fly in too much wind , grrr! 

Very nice job Bruce!
Ton of fun over there :)

Team Nana on Redbull 

Gotta stop doing donuts in your ute before flying =]

Great video. Wish we could see flight footage from your FPV cam.

Bruce has officially gone nanners. Your the best:)

There is always someone filming when you do the walk of shame haha
🙂

0:55 is that Bigfoot 🙂

You guys are reckless across the ditch ?

Yep, that looks like my my flying a few days ago, except you are smart enough to not fly around chain link fences… They hate props.

G’day,

Yay Team…!

Wheeeeee-SPLATbouncie..Bump !

;-p

Ciao !

Thanks Bruce. There were some great flying moments in this. Brilliant!!!
And there were some even better crashing moments. Brilliant!!!

Thanks for sharing it all. Team Nana is never boring. 🙂

Awesome, oh no poor quad running into a tree branch 🙂 Thumbs up from me and excellent video! Well done ! Greetings from Ireland! 🙂
