Lifting an maneuvering a 3 pound drone is much different than doing the same with a 1000-odd pound vehicle with a pilot.I want to believe
>>339375230
true, but this causes 1000th of the damage when something goes wrong
>>339375575
>>339375230
I still get my fingers sliced by props sometimes.
>>339372448
Look at all those fucking nerds who could never become fighter pilots, lmfao.
Keep dreaming cunts, this shit is never going to be a thing.
>>339375860
it already is
>>339375912
Uh, no. It's not. This is nothing compared to actual plane races.
>>339376130
Well, quadcopters aren't planes, so I don't see how they compare. What are you trying to say?
>quadcopters
cute
>>339376130
>actual plane races.
You mean like that shit red bull sponsors?
This is already more than 3/4th of the way there in terms of popularity and global viewership.

So when are we going to get drone combat competitions?
>Takes place inside giant plexiglass dome
>Projectile and melee style attacks permitted
>4 team ffa opening rounds, 2v2 team battles, 1v1 matches for final ladder
>Drones are considered disqualified if they come in contact with the dome, touch the ground, or are otherwise compromised or immobilized by combat
Flying battle bots fucking when?

Is there any sense in building/buying a 150-190 qwod for outdoor flying? I'm looking into getting something smaller than 250 and preferably than my X1 as well, but I only fly LoS. I'm kinda leery about the Eachine Falcon 180.

>borken
>>339378269
a 250 quad is a massive step up from other ready to fly things, its got a fuck load more power but it is a fun thing to fly
>>339379256
250s are huge though, man.

This actually triggers my autism.
How can you make such a fucking obvious typo and send it anyway.
>>339379697
China. Still better than putting red lights on the front of the machine.
In theory, could they big size everything and put a human inside to pilot?
>>339380261
In theory, yes. In practice, it doesn't scale very well.

it would be difficult with the laws of science and all
but these ones have vr cams on them so its pretty close
>>339380597
