Full contact FPV combat

l connectionund at A few weeks ago I brought a little FPV swift out to the weekly full contact combat. Every Thursday in Sacramento along i5 there's a giant night time, full contact batttle royal. With up to 20 small combat wings in the air at once all lit by LED, we try and hit each other or intimitate eachother into crashing. Most pilots use the Crash Test Hobbies assassin, but others just build there own. These are real dogfights, at speeds near 90mph, at night. 

So I brought my little swift out there and found an easy target before the sun went down, a large scratch built styrofoam tri-motor mohemouth of a wing. After a few tries I actually managed to take him down, with myself in the process. Most of the time I was just trying to keep up while he flew a pattern, but when he slowed down I was there for the hit. 

Results:

Broken prop, three prop cuts in the top of the foam
