Hi, this is a callout to all FPV mini quad pilots here in bangalore. I am sure there are a couple of us in bangalore itself who are into FPV mini quads. As of now Pravesh736 and i try and fly whenever possible on Sundays or saturday. I am wondering how many of you are serious about FPV racing (freestyle etc) and want to pursue this on weekends (the more the people the more fun it will be). I am hoping as more of us meetup on weekends, the more we can take the FPV mini quad scene further and hopefully in the near future even have a India Drone Nationals/ FPV meet or so (mumbai also seems to have a lot of mini quad flyers now). Also the greater the participation the easier it will be to gather resources to setup some racing tracks on weekends and will make it challenging as well.
It would be great if interested flyers could post there contact details and where they stay in bangalore( no need for exact address) or PM the same so that we can determine a convenient location around bangalore which is easy to access for all of us and take this initiative forward.
Thanks
Devesh

Btw pravesh and I are around indranagar/kormangala area.

dunder93

@sagnik , Thanks for the update  :) this will add up to a total of 4 airgates so should be able to setup a small track.

@Mateen270 , Hi , nice to know that you and your friend are also into FPV mini quads. Nothing is fixed so far for this weekend as usually we head out to hoskote but now that hoskote runway is closed up we might head somewhere else or may even find some new place in hoskote itself. Will Keep this thread updated (or may even form a whatsapp group). Also Do you mind sharing your setup? Just curious what you fly

Dunder : great initiative man. Two of us can join from Bellandur
We have been flying for quite sometime now. Not pro flyers but can surely pull out a good flight.

Would love to tag along.

Can you please ping me on 8123500484 - if people are serious we can form a small whatsapp group.
Ask questions or you will never get the answers.

Himadri Roy

Lucky guys! Have fun..will join you guys if visiting Banglore anytime this year!  ;D

Thanks Guys for showing interest. Have added all who have replied to a whatsapp group. Hoping to see some more new people show up

dunder93

Hi Himadri, You are welcome anytime to come fly with us. Hope you guys in mumbai are growing in numbers as well. Hope to see some national FPV meet/racing soon

Sagnik

I will handle the FPV racing meet for you guys :salute:, all you have to do is participate, just waiting for winter to come ;D

dunder93

Well ideally it would make sense to keep such an event in Mumbai or Bangalore dont you think? (convenient to travel to for flyers in north, south and east(probably not bangalore). Btw @sagnik any plans on getting some racing flags ( like this http://www.getfpv.com/accessories-78/banners-race-gates/getfpv-race-flag.html) there are local manufactures as these are just ad flags. Will be nice if any of the LHS can source some. Found a really sweet spot in bangalore for some racing. Flat grass lands for quite a stretch.

Did I just read "Flat grass lands for quiet a stretch?" IN BANGALORE??!! lol...
Hard to find such a spot in what I'd like to call a concrete jungle!

Anyhoo, I do some casual flying near GKVK, Vidyaranyapura (basically a forest on the outskirts)

Hi.. Good to see people interest building up for fpv racing.

Is there ant group in Delhi/NCR up for mini quad fpv racing?

Rathi

I am definitely interested! Once I set up my FPV I'll come too! And lets not use the term race because it calls for unwanted competitiveness and attention ;)

Hey guys. If you would be seeing an Iron Man suit flying above your head in future, it would be me.
