Drone Racing/Building

[zigge_51]

Have anyone tried or have any experience with flying/building drones for race ? I would like to start building drones for racing, but have almost non experience with drone flying and or building them....

Try Phoenix 5.5 rc flight sim. Hook an rc controller right to your computer, and pick from any number of models to practice fly. Sure beats wrecking something expensive while learning.

Nice tip mate, I'm probably gonna buy a micro drone, one of those 10€ once. Just to learn it :-)

Biggest thing about rc flying is keeping the plane in prospective. Get it too far away, and you can't tell what direction it's going. Even the best get fat thumbs and crash.

Yeah, i find that quite a big of a bugger to keep it within visual range.. I had an Parrot AR drone, but the controls we all screwed up and it starting to fly all by ir self.. That's why I'm not currently in possession of a drone, but would like to start it up again..
