Smudge on the vlog camera lens, no deadcat, lots of wind but hey! My first ever "I talk to myself in Dutch"-vlog has been uploaded and yes, like I said, it is far from perfect. The flight footage I took with my new GoPro Hero 4 Session does look pretty on the other hand, and that is key to me for now. So if you want to skip me rattling about stuff, skip to 4:57 to watch the Obsession 1080P footage.
I took two quads with me, the RealAcc RX150 and the Dquad Obsession. Till this day I never flew the Obsession in FPV and acro outdoors. So I was quite exited about doing so. Also you will see my first 5" quad rolls and low pass backflips.
Last Saturday my family and I went to the beach of Petten before attending diner at my parents. I flew two lipo's on the Dquad Obsession before noticing I did not feel quite as self assured because of the sand, potential people coming from every angle and the medical nuclear reactor a few kilometres further on North. Also there was a lot of air traffic, I saw Cessna's, multiple helicopters and a Chinook.

I was quite impressed with the power of regular five inch race quads. So I did build myself a smaller quad with less power. This Realacc RX150 quad swings DYS 3030x3 propellers with Emax RS1306 3300kv motors. Almost all electronics have been made by Matek, I use the F405-OSD, HV VTX and a PDB hub. In this flight I used an 850mAh 3s Lipo.
This is the DVR record of the first stabilized FPV flight. Enjoy!

Tonight I flew my new KingKong LDARC 90GT micro drone for the very first time in FPV. Yes i know, all flying has been done in autolevel mode. But hey! It's a first remember and by the way I did not want to damage any items within the living room!

Vandaag was het de eerste warme lentedag van het jaar, met temperaturen van 22 graden was het ook in Alkmaar lekker warm. De kinderen waren de hele dag buiten geweest en Dorien was de hele dag in de sauna met Marlies. Kortom, 's avonds kon en mocht ik weer buitenspelen. Dit keer samen met Virgil een korte vlog gemaakt gecombineerd met HD FPV beelden boven ons nieuwe huis in Broekhorn Rietland te Heerhugowaard. Uiteraard met een heerlijk avondzonnetje.

Always wondered how long a four cell 1550mAh battery will last when doing some casual indoor track flying? In this video you'll find out! It was a pretty hot day, so there were only a handfull of pilots within the Alkmaar indoor arena, which meant I could practically fly non-stop for three hours.
The recorded and shown DVR is missing some frames, that's why it is out of sync on the start of flying.

I recently noticed that my indoor flight video with the KingKong LDARC 90GT is (by far) my most viewed video. So I thought lots of you folks would like to know how the 90GT would behave on a large indoor racetrack. I think it's pretty perfect for a beginner, it endures crashes pretty well and when you are not upside down, great chance that you will continue your lap! Furthermore it will survive attacks from full fledged five inch racers and it is tiny enough to scare the heck out of people.
I have done some upgrades to the 90GT. I use longer standoffs which created room to fit the receiver above the flight controller. Also I swapped the VTX for a Eachine VTX03 and I added a 30 degrees FPV camera holder. So you know!

Today the sun came out again and so did I. Together with my kids I flew some batteries over our being build home. Located in Broekhorn Rietland Heerhugowaard. Because of the now visible foundations our new home becomes very real! Spacious!

When I started building quadcopters AKA drones, I've watched quite a lot of build- and how-to videos here on YouTube. Now it is time to pay it forward, so I have created my own build video about the GEPRC MX3 Sparrow quadcopter.
Within this video not all proceedings are covered. If you have got questions about used parts or methods please contact me. This video is (or will be) accompanied by a written blog (Dutch), which you will find here https://bit.ly/2I6sQbT.
