Sup guys! I'm sure some of you still monitor this thread...once a year like myself. Just want to let you know about something two of us have started very recently.

We have started a FPV Racing group, that is, we are looking to race quadcopters. We fly them looking through a small camera mounted on the front. (Hence FPV) It easily ranks as one of the coolest things I've ever done. Zipping across the treetops and diving towards the ground never gets old.

A typical FPV racing quad looks like this:

We currently have an active google+ group, with about +- 8 racing quads in the air or being built. Last weekend we tested our first FPV racing gate, and are working on designing more. This weekend we have an event at 10am Sat/Sun at McIntire Park. Here is a link to the google+ page: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communit...59619211603442
