In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew welcomes viewers to the 2015 U.S. National Drone Racing Championships at the California State Fair in Sacramento. The crew speaks to Race Director Scot Refsland about the development of the event, along with the team from Immersion RC which deployed its RaceBand First-Person View (FPV) technology in the United States for the first time to support the eight-pilot heats. Viewers also have the opportunity to fly along with Zoe Fullthrottle, who provides turn-by-turn commentary as she navigates the course.

Nice setup,tell us more about the video frequency setup.
+Jake Bullit Roger that! We will definitely be looking to get a more
detailed interview with those guys at some point today or tomorrow — so
tune in to the livestream, or just keep an eye on our channel. We’re going
to do our best to cross-post big interviews here on our YouTube channel,
and that will definitely be one of them.
Nice Trappy cameo!
+Roswell Flight Test Crew Great idea! TBS has some great products for
public safety and SAR missions. Think you’ll be flying some now?
+spleefdowny Techinstein’s idea… I thought it worked out pretty good!
Yeah, this place is wall-to-wall FPV multirotor celebrities. As part of the
livestream, our goal today is to get interviews with these folks and then,
as quick as we’re able, package them up as episodes to post up on our
channel here — so people who can’t watch live can see them, as well. Stay
tuned to see if we manage to pull it off!
Watching…
I was watching the live footage today at around 3:20pm est and one kid is
flying line of sight. The commentator asks you’re flying line of sight? The
kid says why F’n not I have no video feed LOL The kid keeps looping through
the start finish line and the commentator says “that’s one way to get fast
lap times” HAHA then the official spots him doing that and loses his shit
and freaks out on the kid to ground it LOL
