GADC Fpv Challenge - The 360 Roll - Winner Announced

This is My Entry

2025-08-10 20:00 (ish) @ The Park Recreation Ground, Belper
Moblite 7 Walksnail in Air/Acro/Manual Mode

Much as I love the Walksnail HD clarity on the tiny whoop, it’s just not happy with the flippy-floppy stuff and struggles to pull out of any sort of dive. Added to that, as the battery depletes, the VTX fails some time before the control RX and motors, resulting in flying blind, which is a recipe for disaster.

Looks like I’m going to have to return to analogue for freestyle whooping. :expressionless:

Poor battery!. I land my walksnail whoop at aroudn 3.4V, as it snail does not like low-voltage (one quad still in a tree in Wales). But I start with 4.35V - you had 3.8V at start ?

Not my first flight with that battery. :slight_smile:
Plus, auto-record stops on disarm. I’d switch to manual but then I’d probably never revord anything. :rofl:

Doing the remote challange stuff like IGOW raceGOW and TPW helps massively and just mucking about hovering and just doing the same trick over and over , my rolls are a but scruffy there still tbh .
