FPV Racing miniquad drone – still getting faster
Sorry, just another few quick laps of the illegal mini quadcopter FPV racing course filmed this weekend with a variety of different action cameras including the Xiaomi Yi (not impressed with my one), SJ5000 clone and RunCamHD.
Still getting a little bit faster each time… 4S is next.
Gettin’ pretty racy there Bruce. Practice makes perfect, as they say. Enjoy.
Cheers Mate,
John
You know, that looks like more fun than the planes!
Dont post anything illegal man!!, i know its your past time love/ hobby,
and we all love to watch it, but with all the air NZ crap that’s going down
its not worth it… just say it was your grandson flying or something…
but don’t intentionally incriminate yourself!!!
Can’t wait to see 4s! Great flying!
Zipping along nice… I put my new Nighthawk 280 into the air for the first
time this weekend. Tuning it up now, Learning OpenPilot as a noob is a fun
challenge for sure. I remembered back to watching a RCreview video talking
about not powering up your video transmitter without an antenna
attached…… After mine had been powered on without one for about 5
minutes during set up…. Learning is never cheap.
I can see some nice banking skills being developed!
Awesome 🙂
Pardon my ignorance, but why is it illegal?
+Craig Wanta Because it’s flying in a “park, reserve or public place”
which, our local council, has determined is *far* too dangerous because of
the thronging crowds of people whose very lives will be placed in jeopardy
by such activities as flying even the smallest RC model there.
+xjet I see… thanks for answering. Where is this?
+Craig Wanta New Zealand.
+xjet You”ll have to keep this place a secret Bruce, just in case the
obligatory thumbs downers arrange to have a Heli port located some where
within 4K 🙂
flips and rolls next eh?
lol i like the price of my Xiaomi yi action cam. I can smash up 2-3 of
them for the price of 1 smashed up go pro. Get what you pay for I guess.
Video 60 fps @ 1080p in my opinion is not that far off from the go pro. The
APP needs access to everything on your smart device…..You need to have a
lot of trust in a Chinese corporation…..take that as you will. To bad
this Yaomi falls a little short.
Fun
Nice stuff Bruce if you get 5 minutes have a glance at my channel plz were
from Manchester England thanks bazza
Yeah baby …
Team Nana Rockin da forest ..:)
Nice one Bruce
I love watching these videos because you’re seeing progression all the
time. I see it with Thomas’ videos all the time . . less so with mine 😀
Nice one
Sweet. Keep up the practice Bruce! Shame about the legal shenanigans..
Well Boris & Danny is soon getting some serius competition there, and my
hopes to be a team nana prospect is fading into the distant future…
Nice flying there.
+xjet Nice flying. Are you going to give those plastic motors a try? I
don’t know of anyone who has tried them yet. Someone (maybe Paul BMS) got
some, but as far as I know they are still in boxes.
I imagine they are lighter than comparable metal ones, but I am curious
about their durability and performance. Then again, they could be
heavier. All I really know is that they are cheap and I am cheap. Sounds
like a match.
Nice flying Bruce …you had better start turning right a little more , mix
it up a little
Or sign up to become a FPV NASCAR pilot.
Pretty awesome, I loved the extra shots of you flying over the ground
camera, cool :)
G’day,
Yay Team..!
Granny-GoFast…, for an old Emu !
;-p
Ciao !
Did it turn right, I’m sure I saw it turn right, did anyone else see it? 🙂
Looks like you guys are having fun again, careful that’s against the rules.
:p
What not even one crash? I feel robbed! Jk, Team Nana is improving. Cool
video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice job Bruce! How much tilt are you running on your camera /motors?
I am echoing your words that you posted on CHARPU’s vid recently. I nearly
needed a bucket, as much as i enjoy this hobby i just can’t get used to the
air sick thing but hey, who gives a stuff, i will keep using a bucket if
required;-) Cheers mate good job.
Show-off . . .
Nicely done but the tree in the corner is going to grow back by the time I
get back over there, you need to keep trimming it for me ;-)
+NZToddy You better hurry back bro… I’ve got a mini FPV fixed-wing racer
waiting for you here 🙂
Fingers crossed the weather is going to hold out. There might be some
serious Nana flying coming up!!
+NZToddy Are you a starter for this weekend?
when are you going to put an aerodynamic shroud on it?
Maybe even a pulsejet too. Its already illegal.
I can’t remember which video of your’s you said share your miniquad vids so
I’l just pop mine here 🙂 Thanks for all the info 🙂

I feel it only fair to advise you, your memberships of team nana will have
to be reviewed should persist in posting videos that show this sort of
flying.
I saw at least evidence of “ending up where I wanted to go” (serious
exception for nanas), insufficient wobbling, no crashes, no bits
spontaneously detached from the airframe and no obvious panic.
