By the way there is a difference in the term ¨drone¨ and quad, hexa or octo copters. Generally all drones are multicopters but not all multicopters are drones. To be called a drone it must be capable to autonomous flight. Meaning it can take off on its own, perform a series of waypoint missions and return to land without an operator´s input. Some factory drones have these capabilities in a limited sense like DJIs. For the more technical and fully capable, there is the open source ardupilot project.
So far, the limited open spaces in Cebu City are off limits to rc flying or are allowed if you are a member of an aeromodelers group. It is a matter of organizing and then getting recognized as responsible flyers that will open up more areas for our hobby. That is why advice always to new flyers, always be responsible in your flying. Try to avoid areas where there are a lot of people passing by because in the event of a crash, a single incident might result in a ban for all of us. Understand that any electronic/mechanical device is not immune to failure, even the most expensive ones.
I also agree that FPV Racing is quite expensive. The quad is one thing. The FPV setup is another. If you are not comfortable tinkering or learning electronic terms and flight physics, you won´t enjoy it because it is not a buy and fly thing.
i was able to get in touch with davao group which they have a competition couple years ago, thats where i learn about fpv racing... i prefer building a racer than buying an rtf, since the knowledge you get from building it will matter interms of field repair... I'm eyeing for 250 since i prefer smaller quad and its easier to go through corners...
boss gai ko sa link sa fb sa inyo group... and do you know anyone makes carbon fiber sheet diri sa cebu? kung swede plan lagi ako... hubakon lang ko so bawl nako any fibrous material...
good job! put into right purpose ... ing-ani unta, di sinalbahis o binastos ang gamit
