FPV Dive Bomb Dart Challenge

by FliteTest | October 15, 2012 | (37) Posted in Challenges

What better way to start the week off than with a challenge... an FPV challenge! 


Josh and Chad compete in a dart drop target challenge. Flying FPV, the RC pilot to drop the most flag darts in the target wins!

The 'darts' are lawn marker flags that can be found at most home improvement stores. Dropping these type of darts can be dangerous, so don't try this at home.


The 3 point target is setup in a square ring formation, with a 1 point outer ring, 5 point mid-ring, and the 10 point bullseye.  



Josh and Chad are both flying a Twinstar equipped with a GoPro FPV setup. 


The fun part of this challenge is Chad and Josh are flying for active FliteTest.com authors!

Josh is flying for Nonamerc and Chad is flying for earthsciteach 





Thanks again to viewers like you! Keep on being active on the website and forum and you may be chosen for the next challenge!!

WOW... What a cool idea. I can't wait for the weekend, I am going to try it out. Maybe I'll beat Chad and Scott's score. I'll make sure to video tape it if I do. I'll let you know...

What an awesome idea for a competition. I would have enjoyed more commentary on how you were lining up the drop in the FPV and where and how the cameras were mounted on the planes. As always your humor in presenting the material was on target.

cool video, when are you going to start selling the patches and stickers ect on your web site store? any chance of getting size 3x shirts would pay extra?

No slapping =((... Those darts could come in handy for crowd control, tho.

I was talking with my flying buddy after school about the whole video. I'm actually disappointed in myself for not thinking of this one. He said that, if he was in Josh B's position, he would have dropped the flags over Chad's plane.

Of course, you can't do that to your boss. But, if David had been flying...
