Try as I might this was the best run i had all night. I'm still not dialled in with these Air65's yet. I either need more stick time or a little more tuning to get them flying how I feel they should - any excuse to fly more! The winter stops people flying outdoors so things have gotten busy here in at BTW. But I'm keeping the tracks fresh with a large up launch gate this time and a long ladder down.  Both are easy to fly but getting them done quickly and precisley takes prati

Track got the Lightsail seal of approval tonight and we were graced by the legend KPV Very flowy and wide open track for a tight room. Thank Robin for the concept. All gates approached at high speed meaning accuracy was king when we came to racing. ------------------------- Welcome to our FPV Drone Racing club Birmingham Tiny Whoopers 💚 www.BTWclub.co.uk 💚 🏠 Thanks to Cuttle Bridge Inn for hosting us! https://cuttlebridgeinn.co.uk/ ✨ Sponsors ✨ These wonderful brands help

Ooof its going to take some getting used to. These new BetaFPV Air65's are great but they fly different to what I'm dialed in to. Martian McFly set up my Diamond board and did a great job. Maybe I can ask him to tune this one? This week's track focused on splitting the track out over several features and then looping back thru them later. It seems a lot of sim tracks do this and while I'm not really a fan, it's worth practicing memorising tracks like this. It was a relativel

Running a Whoop Group is pretty easy and very rewarding. I know because I started Birmingham Tiny Whoopers back in 2018. With no idea where to start with model RC flight - I started a group to find out.

if you can get a ladder spiral dialled in, it can be really smooth quick and controlled. Its a great feature to practice because if it comes up in a race its an easy place to catch people up

A few more packs before DISASTER. This was the last flying session before the TWUK Finals and I've managed to pull the ground pad off my very favourite and last well flying whoop along with breaking off my RX antenna.

For me, chasing whoops is definitely the most fun. Swooping thru the gates and keepong as close as possible is a real challenge. James has some great LEDs making him easier to see / target, but its still tricky to keep it controlled and close

I got carried away stacking Whoop Gates on the table this week

I nearly mastered 3 full laps at full speed, just got caught at the end!

Setting up a Tiny Whoop race track can seem daunting at first, but with the right approach and a bit of creativity, you can build an engaging and challenging course for all skill levels. Here’s a breakdown of how I go about laying out a track, from start to finish.
