Dust and Ducts - Full Fathom Five / Ready Light - Mini Drone FPV racing

25,127 Views · Posted 10 years ago

A new place to fly! Apparently this shopping centre development stopped dead in its tracks when the finances dried up, and has since been decaying while the vultures argue in court.

It made for an interesting place to fly, with the worst multipath interference ever thanks to the metal infrastructure. We were flying slowly for a reason!

Dust and ducts were the order of the day. Much fun. Thanks to Tom for the FPV view footage - he had a massive helical antenna; I was actually flying on significantly worse video most of the time.

The music is called "Ready Light", by Brisbane band Full Fathom Five. Sadly they are kinda defunct now, but you can (and should) still buy their awesomely cheap albums on iTunes, or, if you hate Apple like I do, and want to pay less, you can use this site, and get an actual CD without stupid DRM restrictions!
