There’s nothing else for it…we’re going to have to get the McWhirter twins in to invigilate every attempt. 🤣 ---

Moved all this discussion over to here. When a conclusion is reached on how to handle these speed record attempts, a new thread for logging them and running a leader-board can be created. 👍 ---

I think most of us have spidey-sense that tingles when something doesn’t feel right. Besides, judge’s decision is final 😉 I am happy to keep the charts (modified or unmodified for FPV style drones) even though I think I’ll never have a chance to make an appearance in them. ---

I missed the windmill hoo-hah; will go look for it! We are supposed to be a fun friendly supportive community, and I hope nothing changes that. ---

Just out of curiosity has anyone tried uploading a blackbox log to airdata manually? Would airdata recognise the format? 🤔 ---

Thanks for trying Chris 👍🏻 I read somewhere that Ardupilot logs were supported so wondered if Betaflight would be too 😕 ---

There must be a way of doing blackbox overlay onto video footage. Ill have a goggle later and see what I can find ---

Cheers Dave, yeah its right at the top of the list but sadly no Betaflight 😕 ![Screenshot_20220302-124934_Chrome](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/5/b5e4f541073df929e06d266605f287e831af6014.jpeg) ---

@Steviegeek is Ardupilot firmware supported on Betaflight fc? If it is we could flash Ardupilot to our quads for speed runs? ---

Some controllers will Arducopter (CHIBIOS OS) not all. > [@SirGunner](#): > > could flash Ardupilot to our quads for speed runs? Again yes but configuration has a learning curve but it does have autotune which works well. Not a five minute job and then change back to BF really. 😄 ---

> [@SirGunner](#): > > Worth an ask lol Certainly Steve, and if you want a quad for non-racing / cruising / high speed runs then maybe consider Arducopter instead of BF anyway 🤔 ---

Can’t you dji fpv guys ask dji to simply update the fw to record the osd? I know if us hdzero guys ask for something, we get it 🤣 ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/d/0d19dc77dfc8c7f26724133053493ee72ec0392e.jpeg) ---
