Raven Racing Series

[sykick]

Racer built and maiden done, fly's real fine aside from a little slop in the servos (cheap). Just need some racing action now! I'm in North Hampshire if anyone wants to meet up a swap notes/practice......

Looks good Marcus, what Vtx are you using?

[sykick]

It's the Aomway 200mw from banggood.

They are 100% immersion compatible but without the cost! I have 2 of them now you cant go wrong for £20, and stocked in the UK warehouse for quick delivery.

Where abouts are you Sy? There are a few of us in Reading that are looking to join the Raven racing.

Can I ask if you've tested them to any distance, I had thought that the 32 channel VTX's weren't quite on the immersion bands and so dropped off over any distance... or perhaps that's the 32 ch rx's trying to pick up immersion stuff.

However, the price is excellent, so if this works flawlessly even just to 500m, then excellent for mini quads, and wings like this

Hey Gents, I'm in burghclere just south of Newbury, so not far from reading. Let me know when where you fly and I'd be happy to meet up.

Re the vtx I've only been out to 400 yards (still perfect signal) on this one as it is only for short range fpv. However my other 500mw aomway on my fx61 has been 5km with a 3 turn helical on my attitude v2's. The aomway's also output 5v just like the immersion stuff, for the cam.

I use an IRC Tx with a 32ch Rx without issue but I have heard of this. Perhaps it's just marketing spiel, I see no reason why one should not work with the other..

Well my Raven will have to have a FC on it even if it's against the rules.. since I want it as a testbed for my OSD. Its a nice size to swing around inside for testing. Just hope it'll handle the weight of GPS, mag and airspeed sensor  :laugh:

I guess if there's an option for no stabilisation then a FC doesn't hurt

With everything I'm planning to put on mine including FC... it'll be lucky to get off the ground... let alone win any races.

Andy you should buy a vent so you can properly test you osd
