So it looks like FPVLab have a 1 mile challenge going on:

FPV Race! Race to one mile and back. Small | Large

Fly straight out for 1mile, fly straight back and land within 50 feet of the takeoff point.

Obviously as responsible FPVers we'll have to limit ourselves and our videos to LoS, so what about a 1km challenge .. 500 metres out, 500 metres back. Land within 20 metres of your takeoff point.

Post your time. Shortest time wins. Landing must be controlled (plane reusable after race) Sound is a must to prove you didn't speed up your vid...

CLOSING DATE:   31st January.

Any takers?

I haven't even bean that fare yet, but it will be interesting challenge for the fast boys, perhaps I could stick my 2.4 kit on my Habu.

(plane reusable after race)

Cough, cough....... that's going to rule some of us out straight off 

[Steve W]

Stops people blasting back with scratchbuilds at EPIC-mph and nosing it into the dirt to win - controlled landings only

[g.collins]

that's me out then, I have a tendency of landing my planes vertically.

Perfect, my plane is so heavy I can cut the throttle right before landing and it will just drop like a brick!!1 haha
