This is awesome! Just came across this while looking into racing.

I'm planning on racing the micro FPV quads with a friend of mine. We decided to go micro so we could race all together, instead of one at a time. Whenever the slow boat from China gets here we will see how that works haha.

It is good to see your video though, gives an idea as to what to expect from trying to dodge obstacles at high speed :D

Great flying guys!

Hi Phil,

We are not far off starting the 2013 season!

I'll let you know when we get going so you can come and have a look. I'll be posting videos etc over on FPVMultirotorracing.com

Scott, Juz and all, did you know about the Melbourne based group? http://diydrones.com/group/melbourne

We have had a few meetings so far and things are heating up. Can we crash one of your meets and see what you guys are up to?

Oh yeah I've been watching Juz's channel. It's the birth of pod racing! Very cool.

Eric,

That would be very cool!

Hasufel,

Frank,

Very hard to break bones racing multirotors! :)

I just added a section to the forum for finding people in your area.

Nice idea! The Stevie Wonder song to the guy with the fpv goggles in Race 2 made me lol! I'll have to ask them to add this type of challenge to the FPV North America meetup in 2013 :D

We filmed the tracks first so that the guys could watch the videos a few times before going to the track. It helped allot in memorising where to go.

These side by sides are also interesting.....
