Hi All, Here is a quick practise race I got to have with Somerset FPV Racing Group, I had been flying the Spanky 5 all morning so thought it was time to take the Spanky 6 up with the GoPro to get some nice footage. During the second lap the wind did pick up a bit but that added to the challenge. Both quads are running 3s on 5" props.

Hi All, Here is a test of the Runcam HD camera. The Spanky 5 is fitted with two Runcam HD camera's, one facing forwards and another underneath the quad facing backward capturing all the footage that's normally lost. Flying the Spanky 5 with an extra 50g+ (camera and isolation mount) was interesting in the corners but still managed to perform well overall. The sound is a bit ropey due to unbalanced props and worn bearings in the motors after a long session of racing. I fitted both Runcam HD cameras with 32Gb TF cards and had them recording well over 18 races each and they both had plenty of battery left for more racing. I enabled WDR on both camera's which was not needed and it gave the raw footage very over saturated colours.

Hi All, Here are some Win and Fail shots from our day racing mini Quadcopters. West Devon saw a group of FPV pilots meet for some excellent FPV Racing of mini Quadcopters, the weather was ideal and the garden a perfect place to setup a track to try and avoid hitting obstacles. We all had so much fun and it was good to put faces to usernames on the day. We all had our own take on how a mini racer should be setup for racing with a variety of components showing their strengths on the day, the Mobius sports camera seemed to be a common item on the quads and had quite a beating all day on every quad but survived very well. To keep things fair we all used 5"x3" props (2 blade or 3 blade) and a 3s setup, the quads were very evenly matched with the advantage going to the pilot that manages not to hit anything. Thank you to the pilots and spotters on the day for a great time. Best viewed full screen at 1080p

Hi All, Here is a few practice laps around the excellent HoverSpeed RC course setup at Weston Model Air Show 2015. The course also featured their new line of Nano Airgates, these proved to be too much of a temptation not to use them in a few laps. Best viewed full screen 1080p

A few years ago I spoke to a lad at the first ever UK Drone Show who was interested about doing a project on FPV Drone Racing for a course and would I be interested in being involved which I was more than happy to help Since then we met a few times and I got to show Duarte Dias how fun FPV racing can be what ever the weather. Here are the results of his amazing efforts in a documentary. Please let me know what you think Best viewed 1080 at 60fps
