Great racing on an excellent looking course!
Our entries are growing; we’re 25% more from Round #1 into Round #2.
The biggest bonus technology wise is how well our groundstations are performing.  We had 8 pilots flying simultaneously in a steel-truss lined building with metal walls at each end (RF nightmare)… and they all had good-to-great video!
Our biggest struggle technolgy wise is how we are attempting to capture the footage of the races (using a computer 16-channel DVR); so we have a Recap Video out of the first race in lieu of our “full broadcast” as we are still putting the polish on this gem that is going to revolutionize the Industry.
Thank you so much for your support, we couldn’t do the magic we do without great companies like yours!

FPV RACE RECAP VIDEO: Season Opener of the Winter Barnburner Drone Racing Series presented by ReadyMadeRC

Season Opener Recap

A Barnburner of a start to the Winter Barnburner Drone Racing Series presented by ReadyMadeRC!

The debut of the series took FPV Racing Events back to REACH Huron where it all started 11 months ago, and what a difference a year has made.  Utilizing the new FPV Racing Events AirGates, a big and sweepy course was built featuring 5 gates, two comprising a tunnel, and the layout went as:

• ReadyMadeRC Start/Finish Line
  
• ImmersionRC Over
  
• New Generations Hobbies “Keep it Honest” Gate in the Sweeper
  
• SUPERCROSS! Section
• International Horseshoe (inside a Horse Arena!)
• Scorpion Power Systems Tunnel
  

This event also marked the debut of the LandsharkDP Ground Station (or “Super Base Station”) in Canada, though enhanced with TrueRC X2 Air antennae.  These industry leading receivers are provided by: Immersion RC, DPCAV, ReadyMadeRC and TrueRC, and proved themselves and then some at the Season Opener of the Winter Barnburner Drone Racing Series presented by ReadyMadeRC.  The venue has steel trusses, with each end-wall covered in steel; normally providing RF issues as seen 11 months previously with racers flying solely with goggles in the middle of the venue.  The LandsharkDPX2 had the flightline at the far end of the venue, provided solid VRX coverage, and allowed for heats of EIGHT (8) flying INDOORS (a very uncommon thing).

To kick-off the series with excitement, Day #1 Team Blacksheep gave away a full TBS Gemini to the winner of the “Who Has More Fun Than Us” Class Race, and Scorpion Power Systems provided 6 pilots with Full Sets of SPS Motors for their crafts, plus lots of give-aways to best crash, etc.

Saturday Night included a Freestyle competition and Karaoke.

Sunday brought the first points races of 2016, and the day was filled with exciting battles and intense racing.
