First video in a series we’d like to make to help people get started in drone racing. Essentially tips and tricks and showing some of the logic in the way we do things.
There will always come a time when you have a competition coming up and you’re trying to get into form, but you know you’re a little run down or not going to be 100% in the zone. You basically have two options, push through and just outright train hard and possibly break a whole heap of gear or fly a “Fun track” that isn’t too stressful but still allows you to learn and develop.
I would class this as an intermediate track only because we have the Gravity Gate incorporated. Outside the gravity gate there is the last slalom which gets tricky intentionally, but having said that, you have enough distance between it and the start gate to either abort or get back on line.
I’ll be using our DJI Mavic to get shots of the tracks we design, so you should be able to easily recreate these if you so wish since they are to scale.
Let me know if you’d like to see more of these tips and tricks.
TIP: For this track to achieve the objective of fun and enjoyable, you need to be able to do all the elements. If you’re not comfortable with Gravity Gates or Over Unders, you will need to change those elements, but this should give you an idea about what a fun/enjoyable track should feel like. Basically nothing should be off line.

Cool beans, Thomas. Have you guys thought about some form of training setup just utilising a couple of gates/flags or something?
So when is the race of the top 4 elite pilots going to take place? (BMS THOMAS ) (CAPTAIN VANOVER) (MINCHIN) AND (HEADS UP)?
Thay seemed crazy fun! Great skill man!!
No more helix for you
This is an awesome track. It would be amazing to be able to fly like that. I should have some time to do some regular practice in the next year, so I’ll see what happens. What camera angle is Thomas running here?
0:40 searching water with the Patch
What is this hell of a batterie :0 Thomas is flying extremely tight turns and it’s staying at solid 16V
Awesome always looking for nice tracks aside UTT that I’m tired of lol. Where are you posting the to scale tracks with measurements?
What material did you use for the gravity gate? I need one too but cant find one to buy
Bloody hell Thomas you make that look so easy 👻
Incredible how fast you learn!
Nice track and crazy skills! I’ve been doing FPV for some time but I’m just getting into racing, so I’m looking forward to the next videos in this series!
Wow! That section was therapeutic to watch too!
Love this video! Now that I’m into racing I hope to see more tutorials on racing instead of freestyle. 👍🏽🤙🏽😃
Good video! I really like that course. We are gonna practice tomorrow and plan on setting up your course. We don’t have a gravity gate so we will do something unique where the gravity gate is. Hopefully we improve our skills a little and get around the course at a decent pace.
Where did you get the gate? I have a few of the gemfan ones from hobbyking. The problem with them is they held by guy ropes and when I was hugging the gate and my quad get tangled with the rope
hey dude, it’s seems like you have hight rate, witch rate you have on Fligtone ? great vid by the way !
