Quick five lap heat at the SOAA headquarters this weekend. After the whoop race we went outside since the weather was so nice, sunny and warm !! Some of the guys brought gates, Casey and Jack brought out the nice MultiGP gates, thank you guys ! After some quick setup, we ran some laps and went for it. Area is so nice and private, soft grassy field and open space. Also some trees nearby that we plan to incorporate in the near future :) Ran some fun laps here with Matt SemeGlass, Charlie and Jack WrongWayFPV. We sent it and had some good practice times. Running my old TBS Source One V2 that has been a workhorse for me all summer, since last spring actually. Just keep beating it up and it keeps flying. iFlight Succex TwinG Betaflight 4.1.2 XING 2207 1800kv motors TBS Crossfire TBS Unify Pro RunCam Racer 2 Frsky Taranis X9D Plus FatShark Dominator V3 FuriousFPV True-D V3.7 GoPro Session 5 2.7k Superview https://youtu.be/YYWmp0pPQoI https://www.InstaGram.com/Jason_FireBladeFPV https://www.AirVuz.com/user/FireBlade https://www.YouTube.com/user/JDogB1 #SOAA #betaflight #multigp #blacksheepfpv #runcam #frsky #fatshark

Full setup and configuration for both the brushed BeeBrain Pro and Mockingbird edition. Big Thank YOU to QUADFELLAS ! The Pro brushed version comes with an updated FC and ESC that now supports Turtle Mode (Flip Over After Crash) with brushed motors. The Mockinbird editions comes with the BeeBrain Lite board and is configured with props out motor and propeller alignment. I go through setting up rates and modes that can be selected and changed in flight, so you can choose to use "Mockingbird Rates" for angle mode and quickly switch to Acro mode with rates accordingly. Also some discussion on Betaflight and target development for Mockingbird whoop setups, check out their page at; http://projectmockingbird.squarespace.com/ And take a look at NewBeeDrone products here; https://newbeedrone.com/ Check out Quadfellas here; https://www.facebook.com/groups/2050511781897867/ My other feeds; https://www.AirVuz.com/user/FireBlade https://www.InstaGram.com/Jason_FireBladeFPV https://www.YouTube.com/user/JDogB1 #newbeedrone #beebrain #acrobee #mockingbird #project #betaflight #quadfellas

Met up with Matt SemeGlass at a local football field and setup some gates. It is cold and middle of winter, but we need to practice and get faster ! Fun time with Matt, we setup a number of gates and also used the goalposts as gates, triple gates actually. Split S over the horizontal post, then funnel turns around the vertical posts, works great :D Also the big block of snow near the far gate is intended to be a flag, so pretend that is a flag that we must rotate around. We will get more gates and this coming weekend should have a few more pilots joining us for some field practice. We have a tiny whoop race on Feb. 22nd and a 5" race March 15th. Season is already getting crazy ! Check out some of our flying on Matt's page here; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcyEYT7tbI9t2eiTg7MH4Sg Can't wait for Spring to get here !!

Final round of qualifying this Sunday at the Southern Oregon Air Academy exhibition race at the fairgrounds horse arena. Casey and Caleb put on a great event, also thank you to Zane Rushi for race directing along with Casey ManCub. Fun round here battling with Zane RushiFPV, he is fast and we were going back and forth all through qualifying. We ran five rounds if I remember right, a lot of qualy but good practice before the races. I qualified well and made it straight to A Mains !! :) We then ran three rounds of A Mains to decide the final standings, was a blast of a race and check the end of video for qualifying results and race results !! I will upload race DVR soon, I did not run the GoPro during the race, just too heavy and wanted a lighter feel. I ran some qualy with and without the camera and the turns just felt so slow with the camera on top. The times showed too, qualifying laps were right around the 30 second mark and my race times were around the 26's and 27 second laps. We have another race scheduled here in two weeks, time for more practice !!

Met with Caleb from Southern Oregon Air Academy to give a demonstration of Tiny Whoop micro drones and 5" race quads. The look on the girls face, wait for it... The kids were great, so fun and they were well behaved. I was trying to be very careful but still worried about safety and wanted to make sure it was a fun time. Turned out great ! Thank you Caleb for including me in the presentations ! We actually did this at two other middle schools this same day and also an indoor whoop race demo for the Civil Air Patrol !! Was a big day and a lot of flying, we made a positive influence on many and hopefully will get some students and parents involved in the hobby and sport.

Two full heats at the races this weekend, what a great event ! A number of pilots this year, much more than last year. I think we had over 22 pilots that actually competed and 6 full heats at the beginning of qualifying. I'm running the NewBeeDrone AcroBee BeeBrain Pro here with the Nitro Nectar 300mah packs - so nice ! Whoop handles so well, and I put in some good laps, in fact I was the top qualifier for the event ! Won an awesome race quad from from Zaine BikeGuy and Black Cat Design Company. I will be building very soon as we have some 5" races coming up next weekend already ! Such a great time and thank you to all that helped setup this event and thank you to The Bier Stein for hosting our second annual indoor race !! https://youtu.be/BCOcIKrTigM https://www.AirVuz.com/user/FireBlade https://www.InstaGram.com/Jason_FireBladeFPV https://www.YouTube.com/user/FireBlade #quadfellas #newbeedrone #acrobee #beebrain

Met up with the guys at Cantrall Buckley park and campground in Jacksonville, OR. Fun time flying with Jesse, Damien, Kaleb, Jerome, Nathan, Derek, Justin, anyone else that I missed. And such a great park ! Quick No Edit Run with the 6" bi blade race quad running 6s 120c packs. Built this using an old QAVR frame and put 6" arms on it, intended for some mid range, possibly long range. I picked up a TBS M8 GPS chip to install, hope to soon and then take it out to Jesse's for some range testing. This one has the Typhoon 32 V2 4-in-1 ESC paired with a CLRacing F7 flight controller. The Typhoon ESC does not seem to support bidirectional dshot, so I have not been able to get RPM filtering to work on this unit. However, Betaflight 4.1.2 is working very nice without these features. PID tune is very close to default, increased pitch P and roll just a bit, and using Absolute Control and Integrated Yaw. (which you then lower I term values on pitch and roll, and remove I term from yaw. Also add D term to yaw) Lifted all filters 1.5x according to github, which is working very smooth. I do have Crossfire and Unify all setup, ready for some range. Running the old RunCam Owl Plus 2 FPV cam.

Whoop racing with the new micro pack in Velocidrone, love it ! Great SIM, and the addition of micros is excellent. A number of new maps also for the micro pack, courses more suited to whoops and other micros. The house is great, and this library map is also fantastic. A few different courses in this video, we try two different library race courses. The whoops are not easy ! And the tiny gates make for a fun challenge. Velocidrone already showing some new whoops coming out soon as well, they are working on the NewBeeDrone AcroBee, brushed and brushless versions :) https://youtu.be/GXMaMyopNhU Great fun for when the weather is yuck outside and whoop packs are charging LOL https://www.InstaGram.com/Jason_FireBladeFPV https://www.AirVuz.com/user/FireBlade https://www.YouTube.com/user/FireBlade #velocidrone #betaflight #teamblacksheepfpv #FlightSIM #droneSIM

Whooping a real helicopter with my new AcroBee BeeBrain Pro Tiny Whoop. Video is a bit noisy due to the metal building and all the wifi and radio signals bouncing around. I love the BeeBrain Pro, so smooth and flies amazing. I'm using the Project Mockingbird settings for Betaflight rates and PIDs. For info and tuning using Mockingbird settings, check here; http://projectmockingbird.squarespace.com/ Running the new Gold NitroNectar 300mah packs, love them and need to buy more ! Will be racing in Eugene Oregon at the end of the month which should have livestream, I will get more info and post. https://youtu.be/cv9OH0btdSM The helicopter in the video is the Kman Kmax, dual prop single turboshaft jet engine. Absolutely crazy to watch fly, I will get some footage of some takeoffs and landings. https://www.AirVuz.com/user/FireBlade https://www.InstaGram.com/Jason_FireBladeFPV https://www.YouTube.com/user/FireBlade #acbrobee #beebrain #beebrainpro #betaflight #projectmockingbird

Met up with a number of pilots over the weekend at a great recreation area for our final meet up of the year. Ended up being a good turnout, I think there were at least a dozen pilots or so. Had great fun flying at the same time, many of us went up and flew to get some packs in. Most everyone is running Unify, and everything worked great. I was super happy with how my equipment performed, video was fantastic and zero radio issues. Sure is a lot of fun when everything works as intended ! Thank you to everyone who came out and joined in the fun, made a great little event to finish off an awesome year.
