Hi All,
A great morning spent FPV racing mini quadcopters in Cornwall, UK.
Four quads are in this race, 2xZMR250, FPV250 and a Spanky 6. I am flying the larger quad due to a my Spanky 5 being out of action on the day. The 6 was not setup for racing and had only had a few flights done since enabling Oneshot in Cleanflight and on the KISS ESCs, plenty of oscillating sounds but the quad felt locked in and stable the whole time on stock PIDs. Races are 2 laps long if you can survive the gates. This is race 6 of 9 that we had on the day but we were stopped in the end by strong rain and winds.
During this flight you can see its already starting to rain but we decided to brave the weather for the fun. Excellent start to the race with JamesB72 taking the lead out of the first corner, Mike was hot on his tail while me and Mark battled it out for 3rd place. On the second lap I am so far behind first place that I decide to cut the corner to try and get a close up shot, disqualified but determined I gave chase until the final corner where JamesB72 got the Win.
Thank you to Team Grey Squirrel + spotters for an excellent time and thank you to JamesB72 for making the trip down this way.
