    I first started flying drones after watching a Charpu video. I went out and got myself a Taranis X9D+ and ZMR250 kit and was on my way. These days, I fly mostly aerial video UAVs, and not so much racing/freestyle. You want to see some FAST racing pilots ... watch the DRL (Drone Racing League) video ... those guys are amazing.

      @alexmh6131 7 лет назад +4

      Mystery a racing drone is a type of quad copter, so calling any 4 motor craft a quad copter is correct, specifying a type is needed these days as their are lots of different uses for different types of 'drone' lol. to be specific that is a 'racing quad' because a racing drone could be any unmanned RC craft including helicopters, gliders and planes

    Hey Charpu, why do you do Interviews with 3 CW and only 1 CCW Prop?? :D

    • @bengossler6193
      @bengossler6193 7 лет назад +4

      That is a good point... The prop closest to the camera is wrong. Hahahah!
      He had probably just broken one or something.

    • @alexmh6131
      @alexmh6131 7 лет назад

      Simon Bethke are you assuming that because the colour is different? I remember a few months back it was all the rage to have 3 props one colour and the 4th a contrasting colour....

    • @bengossler6193
      @bengossler6193 7 лет назад +1

      No, props have a specific shape (essentially each blade is a wing profile.)
      Typically the 'sharp edge' is the trailing part of the 'wing.' So, since the motors have to spin a specific direction, and the props have a specific designed direction, you are able to pick out backwards or upside down props.
      They will still fly, but not nearly as efficient.

    • @alexmh6131
      @alexmh6131 7 лет назад

      I know that, I've been flying a while now, but I seem to have missed the part where that would have been clearly visible, and I can't be arsed to watch the video again lol

    • @SohanMeegahage
      @SohanMeegahage 7 лет назад

      How is it common sense that it is not one? Bike racing, formula plus, rally cross etc. are all sports, motor sports. Quad racing is the same except the pilot is not in the vehicle. The fact that there is little physical movement does not mean that there isn't a great deal of skill involved and definitely does not disqualify it as a sport

    • @BortEngineerDude
      @BortEngineerDude 7 лет назад

      Wavy Vaporizers both are bad for FPV flying like that. Most FPV pilots build their own drones on different frames from modules like PDB, FC, ESC's and so on. Of course, there is a pre-built options, like TBS Vendetta or Eachine Wizard(last one is good drone for FPV beginners), but you will still need to do little tuning and assembly with each one.

    Flying a racing drone is very stressful when you start. Because when you crash, if you break a component, you need to rebuy that piece, unsoulder the previous piece without melting the pads, then soulder the new piece on. Ugh.
