GADC Fpv Challenge - The 360 Roll - Winner Announced

The All New GADC FPV Challenge Is Here !

( Although Been Done A Few Years Back It’s Being Rebooted, So Please Read On The Rules & Your Task )

The challenge will run from Friday 18th July 00,01 hours until Friday 15th August 22,00 Saturday 16th August 22,00 hours where a poll shat be put up shortly after for all GADC members to cast their votes !

The poll for voting shall be open till Tuesday 19th August 22,00 hours to see who has taken top place, top place winner gets to chose the next challenge, Then the new challenge shall commence on the Friday of that same week.

So a nice easy start to get the ball rolling which shall include all, Fpv, Self builds, DJI Avata Neo Wings, Manual Controllers Or Motion etc, I thought we’d start with a simple challenge as some are not as advanced as others & or a bit rusty so here it is below,

Flying in a straight line as possible completing 3 consecutive 360 degree rolls, one roll to the right one roll to the left another one to the right, or vice a versa ie left right then left again !

#1 You the pilot should share a continuous video of this challenge (not a snipped and joined video),
#2 This has to be completed within 45 seconds or less,
#3 please kindly state at the top of your entry ( this is my entry ) with time date & location,
#4 please state the aircraft/Fpv used in manual or motion,
#5 upload your video via YouTube or Vimeo, if at anytime you would like to change your entry please delete the old one & post the new one, also feel free to add anything with your entry that maybe of interest,

Fpv, DJI, self builds, wings & alike have grown quite much over the last few years with many more members getting involved, so this is a chance to show your skills, up your game practice & make your hobby shine, I’m sure there maybe a few bumps here & there but try to not let that put you off as it’s all part of the hobby,

This is an easy going every 28 day challenge although the length/timeframe maybe shortened or lengthened at a later date if needed let’s see how it goes first, if there is anything that anyone is not quite happy with just say, this is about what you guys want & what is best for you so kindly put your opinions across if needed & all ideas welcome which you can post Here or DM @Challenges_Committee

In the “ hopefully unlikely “ event of dispute the original footage maybe required, failure to do so may result in your entry being withdrawn !

This is your challenge so feel free to chat, bant, rant as much as you like or help each other if where when needed but please try to keep it on topic, the rules are very simple as above & below, I look forward to your entries enjoy.

All flights carried out are the sole responsibility of the flyer as per the drone code & any permissions that maybe needed, enjoy & may the force be with you ! :slightly_smiling_face:

Ok sorry to bring this up but it states you want 3 consecutive 360 rolls performed each way is that correct or am I missing something
Or was the intention to just do 1 each way

I’m reading it as three rolls total, in alternate directions (i.e. left-right-left, or right-left-right)

@DodgerFPV Drew as @JoeC Joe has just described is correct :+1:

I was confused by @bmsleight entry
Challenge says it is consecutive(one after the other)3x360 roll one way then switch not a 360 roll as stated in the title or as written in bold in the confusing description so glad we cleared this up :laughing:
Or did you mean 360 switch 360 switch 360 switch

Sorry my bad for the description, glad you picked up on that,
So to clear things up you can go - straight line 360 - straight line - 360 - straight line 360 again whilst moving in a straight line continuous ( if that makes sense ) :sweat_smile:
Or if your confident & quick enough you can just keep going in a straight line but continuously doing your 360 roll as stated either way but x 3 ( in sense would be quicker ) but all the same,
Whilst it does state continuous ( straight line etc ) it will be down to your fellow competitors when it comes to the judging so the best & cleanest you can achieve I guess is what most will be looking for,
Oh btw I’m just the middle man :rofl:
Enjoy !

For clarity -

360 to the left (CCW)

Or vice versa

Whilst travelling forward in a straight line, all 3x 360’s completed in less than 45 seconds

Got to be Dolphin.

I need a break in the weather then I try my wing.

Wouldn’t 3x continuous 360s be classed as a 1080 and not 3 separate 360s?

At least thats how it works in ramp sports like skateboarding and BMXing.

I guess the break in direction could negate the 1080 idea. :man_shrugging:t2:

For the Purposes of Clarity

This FPV Challenge is -

  1. Flying in a forward direction
  2. Roll 360 degrees to the left (CCW)
  3. Then roll 360 degrees to the right (CW)
  4. Then roll 360 degrees to the left (CCW)
    Or vice versa (right, left, right - CW, CCW, CW)

As long it’s moving forward, in the same direction as the camera.

Come to think about it.

These 3 rolls could also be completed when diving too, because the drone is still travelling forward.

sidequest unlocked :smiley:

Updated my entry…

Very big thanks to the Challenges Committee, this is a good reason to fly and to tune a manoeuvre

#2 This has to be completed within 45 seconds or less,
4 minutes of video, but executed 7 times. So once every 34 seconds on average.

The first one in the video is my favourite, the 3 consecutive rolls whilst chasing a wing.

#4 please state the aircraft/Fpv used in manual or motion,
‘Gilbert’, 5 inch drone. Acro mode.
‘Lizzie’ BabyAR Wing. Acro mode.

*#5 upload your video via YouTube or Vimeo
