Drone Racing

Postby StLGooner » Fri Jul 07, 2017 3:02 pm

Anybody here into it, or know much about it? Looking for tips, and or any advice.

I bought a little starter drone (FPV capable) to see what the hype was about and it appears I may be hooked. It's fun, but looks like it can be an expensive hobby. Would really like to build my own though one day, but for now, just learning how to fly is my main focus. It isn't that easy.

One thing I'm learning is that if you don't have at least 10 batteries then you ain't going to get much flying time, these things only give you about 5 to 10 mins of flight time per batter, and take about 40 minutes to charge, so that is annoying.
