The track setup this evening was a tight little track, I found it quick tricky but still a lot of fun.
Liam and myself clipped props at the end, broke the tip of liams prop but we couldnt tell who's quad was making the awefull racket so both landed.

Got out flying twice on the same day in lovely weather. Out to a golf course in the morning and then Antrim tech park in the evening.
Popped a few air gates up for practice but goal for the day was to try and get a bit smoother on the sticks. Not sure it was successful but didn't break anything other than props so that's good :)
(Just noticed the date and time stamp from the Runcam is wrong, should be reading 24th of May?)

Our usually flying spot was taken over by grown men in shorts kicking some weird round object up and down the grass so we relocated to new location

Had a great evening flying, lovely calm dry evening for a change, shame it gets dark so early.
I had to brighten the video a bit as it was pretty dark by the time we got our last battery chucked in, looks a bit grainy as a result.
Also think I need to tilt the mobius back a bit more to match the angle of the fpv camera a bit better.
Setup:
Alien 6" frame
Cobra 2204 2300kv motors
Littlebee 20amp escs
Motolabs Tornado fc (betaflight 2.4.1)

Not in the mood for changing props all day so set up a simple track at the tech park. Still had to change a few lol.

Scorching day at the golf course.
I have just noticed I have got into too much of a habit of just doing backflips, I must try and learn some new tricks.
And try to mount the hd camera facing dead ahead, looks like its facing a little to the left in a lot of this footage, perhaps the camera got shifted after the couple of knocks the quad got.
Was a cracking day out though with great company.

Maiden flight of my ImpulseRC Alien 6inch frame, I am super impressed with it. It was just a gentle cruise around to make sure nothing fell off it (it was put together by me after all) but can already tell it flys brilliant, really smooth and controllable.
I just need to fiddle with the HS1177 camera settings as it was a very dark image in the goggles, particularly when facing the low sun.

Added some led's to my frankinquad to help with orientation, gonna use it to practice LOS flying, its made up of old sloppy motors and my old afro esc's on a plastic frame so not too worried about damaging anything on it.
