View Full Version : Anyone here got a racing quad ? Just like wipeout but much more expensive when you crash!

I've just finished building my own one and I'm looking for other pilots around Bury St Edmunds area?

It looks like it has that slippery PS1 WipEout control. Would I be right in assuming the controls feel like that?

They all have a computer brain that is almost infinitely programable,
you can adjust the flight characteristics to suit your own style -there's plenty of power on tap

But no air brakes :frown:

Ah, so it's basically an AI following a flight plan, not controlled by you.

The flight controller keeps the craft stable and flyable but you are in total control,
Great fun in fpv

That looks awesome!

Are you able to see that video feed on your remote control? I can't think of any other way you'd be able to control that so well. Man, I want one of these!

Yeah basically goggles with lcd screens inside display a live feed transmitted from a camera at the front of the quad
