UK Drone Show 2015 Race Footage
The UK Drone Show was held at the Nation Exhibition Centre in Birmingham England December 5th & 6th 2015.
This was not a race, it was a game of pure survival. Due to the electrics in the floor and other exhibitors using the Fatshark channels (when they shouldn’t be) we had terrible FPV reception, some pilots had much better views on other channels or frequency sets like Boscam but due to the lack of time we had to fly with what we had already set. I was flying in “keep it in the air” mode and had great fun and a good challenge.
Such a fun event with so much to see and do, there was all the big names of FPV in the UK in attendance along with some of the top pilots in Europe like MetallDanny who I got to race against all day as he was in my heats.
This amazing course was setup by the awesome chaps at HoverSpeed RC, the BFG obstacle in the middle of the track added so much enjoyment and took the track to another level along with the tunnels and flags, check out their site:

No idea how you managed to fly with that signal, and smoothly no less. Nice

Excellent flying and an entertaining video. It looks awesome when you are
filming the quad in front of you.

a better image?
