SplitS (Drone racing team)

Hello everyone.

We have opened a YouTube channel where we're goint to talk about important things in the world of drone racing from a practical side.

Assembling drones, gates, competitions, reviews, etc. The first video has been released, subscribe and like it!

HDZero at a distance of 12 km. I want to try to fly even further.

The dates of the MultiGP VRL have been published. Now you can understand whether you will be able to participate or not. And whether it is worth buying a ticket. I bought one of the first, I am waiting for the start, I am training.

At the same time, they added the opportunity to participate for free(save $50 by the way). Since the rules have not yet appeared, it is not clear what exactly needs to be done. Apparently, win in one of the stages. I guess.

Interesting Walksnail VRX mount for HDZero googles.

Daniil made a fantastic video from the last competition. The competition that we organized together. So cozy.

I love polls like that. They help you figure out if there are any adjustments you need to make to your gear.

Made a launch pad for a drone with cooling. After all, it heats up during flights and I want it to work longer and while I change batteries it cools down.

Well, it will come in handy at races, where you can wait a long time for the start while other pilots solve their problems.

We have flown in the same conditions on the analog and HDZero AIO. But I will make a complete comparison on Thursday when I can add Walksnail 1s.

Last Thursday, we took part in the Velocidrone competition. I flew through the qualification to the middle of the grid, found myself in a group with several strong pilots, and was sure that there was no chance so I would just fly without crashing.

I had to fly twice to get out of the group and be in the top three. As a result, I flew second in the first flight and was very surprised that this was possible. For some reason, the next time (although this was just a regular fun competition), I got nervous, could not clear my head, and crashed many times.

Daniil and Evgeny are in a better situation, they were able to get out of the group.

Daniil: It was fun, we raced well. I really liked the format, the qualification is not meaningless and gives you the opportunity to climb higher. At the same time, it guarantees you will not fall into some place below. There were some problems with the organization, but this was not critical during the warm-up stage. I will participate again)

Evgeny: I liked the track. I was a little upset that I was eliminated so early, it seems that if I hadn't screwed up I could have made it to the next group.

Almost all summer, I was training with two drones. Well, not two, actually. One of them was broken nearly all the time. After I fixed the first one, the second one broke and so on in turn.

It all ended with me missing the third Georgian racing stage because during a training the day before, Daniiel's drone and mine had crashed. And I didn’t have enough parts to assemble one working drone.

This is complete nonsense. It couldn't go on like this any longer, so I freaked out and bought all parts for three 5" drones and for 2 tiny whoops.

I'm going to use a strategy of three absolutely identical drones. I made up a three color scheme for that.

I'm going to use one of the drones for training (the black one). And this drone’s getting all old and almost broken parts.

The second one (green) will be a backup drone. And the third drone is only for competitions(red).

All that's left is to assemble it all.
