Let’s hope not, I’ve spent hours and hours over the last few months, modifying my quads and playing on the simulators.

OOH like the sound of this but eeek

Maybe a bit more expansion on the rules - does the perch need to take place when the drone is in Manual mode - so as to rule out Avata/Avata2 / DJI FPV being flown in normal / sports mode but cool if they are in Manual mode and you do the unarmed - mmm thinking about this a bit more not sure if them drones can be disarmed in flight like a true FPV can be…

Sorry rambling here - need to give it a go and see but I am sure they cant.

Something to test with an easy to access perch :slight_smile: – pretty sure I remember the most common BLHELI32 firmware (the one before last) has this issue where you cannot re-arm without cycling the power (physically disconnect/reconnect the battery). This was ‘the big issue’ when BLHELI32 went under as loads of ESC built with this version around but no way now to update/fix them

Nope any mode/drone will do

Send it I’ve done it myself with the Avata sensors unplugged remember goggles osd recording or remote screen needs an SD CARD also remember auto record needs to be OFF :laughing:

The Daredevil Disarm (next challenge)

Perch/Land 1st then disarm and re arm

What about being stuck - I mean ‘perched’ in a tree… will that count? (this could be our most popular challenge ever :innocent:)
