Hi, this is a callout to all FPV mini quad pilots here in bangalore. I am sure there are a couple of us in bangalore itself who are into FPV mini quads. As of now Pravesh736 and i try and fly whenever possible on Sundays or saturday. I am wondering how many of you are serious about FPV racing (freestyle etc) and want to pursue this on weekends (the more the people the more fun it will be). I am hoping as more of us meetup on weekends, the more we can take the FPV mini quad scene further and hopefully in the near future even have a India Drone Nationals/ FPV meet or so (mumbai also seems to have a lot of mini quad flyers now). Also the greater the participation the easier it will be to gather resources to setup some racing tracks on weekends and will make it challenging as well.
It would be great if interested flyers could post there contact details and where they stay in bangalore( no need for exact address) or PM the same so that we can determine a convenient location around bangalore which is easy to access for all of us and take this initiative forward.
Thanks
Devesh

Btw pravesh and I are around indranagar/kormangala area.

Your race gate is packed and will be shipped today, i hope the gate will be of quite some help to set up something very interesting

@sagnik , Thanks for the update  this will add up to a total of 4 airgates so should be able to setup a small track.

@Mateen270 , Hi , nice to know that you and your friend are also into FPV mini quads. Nothing is fixed so far for this weekend as usually we head out to hoskote but now that hoskote runway is closed up we might head somewhere else or may even find some new place in hoskote itself. Will Keep this thread updated (or may even form a whatsapp group). Also Do you mind sharing your setup? Just curious what you fly

Dunder : great initiative man. Two of us can join from Bellandur
 We have been flying for quite sometime now. Not pro flyers but can surely pull out a good flight.

Would love to tag along.

Can you please ping me on 8123500484 - if people are serious we can form a small whatsapp group.

Lucky guys! Have fun..will join you guys if visiting Banglore anytime this year! 

Thanks Guys for showing interest. Have added all who have replied to a whatsapp group. Hoping to see some more new people show up

Hi Himadri, You are welcome anytime to come fly with us. Hope you guys in mumbai are growing in numbers as well. Hope to see some national FPV meet/racing soon

I will handle the FPV racing meet for you guys , all you have to do is participate, just waiting for winter to come

Well ideally it would make sense to keep such an event in Mumbai or Bangalore dont you think? (convenient to travel to for flyers in north, south and east(probably not bangalore). Btw @sagnik any plans on getting some racing flags ( like this http://www.getfpv.com/accessories-78/banners-race-gates/getfpv-race-flag.html) there are local manufactures as these are just ad flags. Will be nice if any of the LHS can source some. Found a really sweet spot in bangalore for some racing. Flat grass lands for quite a stretch.

Did I just read "Flat grass lands for quiet a stretch?" IN BANGALORE??!! lol...
Hard to find such a spot in what I'd like to call a concrete jungle!

Anyhoo, I do some casual flying near GKVK, Vidyaranyapura (basically a forest on the outskirts)

Race flags are coming will take some time

Hi.. Good to see people interest building up for fpv racing.

Is there ant group in Delhi/NCR up for mini quad fpv racing?

I am definitely interested! Once I set up my FPV I'll come too! And lets not use the term race because it calls for unwanted competitiveness and attention

ANY ONE FROM PUNJAB ? OR CHANDIGARH
PING ME 8558964688

Whoa.. a bit too crazy, but it's a mini quad
Awesome place, can you please share the maps coords?

Its the same old Hoskote runway area. It has been dug up tho.

wow....its very interesting....


www.rcbazaar.com

i am also in... following

Hi, I live in Mumbai and I'm in. Just inform me the dates. I have my Fatshark's on the way, would the customs clear it?

Hey guys. Really excited that there is so much attention for miniquad racing! I am in too. If you guys decide the dates a few weeks/months in advance, I can plan a trip too.

Hi guys,
So i had initially started the thread to see how many fpv pilots are there in bangalore. Got a good respone and formed a group. We are 8 pilots here in bangalore. But nice to see people from other states also showing interest. We fly on weekends together now and have made a short track as well  in hoskote. You guys are always free to Join us anytime you are headed here.Apart from local meetups we will surely hold a national meetup soon.
Heres a short video of last sunday when we made the track. Stay tuned for more 


Also stay tuned on this page on facebook https://www.facebook.com/IndiaDroneNationals/
This fb page will be more frequently updated now. Lets all get the mini scene going in india in whatever city you are in.

AWESOME  Good to see someone take the initiative!
Is that a MXP frame that you are using?

Thats a custom frame using zmr arms (i cut my own frame body) , built a perfect x racer using the mxp230 arms, just waiting for swift cam to arrive and will maiden it then,
Manjunath (rcduniya.com) another mini flyer here actually made that page long back, will try my best to get things moving.
Btw Himadri do you have a local mini quad group as well in Mumbai?

Can't say its a proper group, but its building up!
Have flown once with Gulzaar and cyberhack. Looking for more people in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai too!

Add me - 9049202726, I'm from Mumbai and might try to come someday !

Really happy to see all this happening !! Waiting for the national meet

Hey,

I would like to join you guys for some flying too. Lets start a whatsapp group.


Regards

hey ,
 I am an fpv pilot from NIT Trichy . I have been flying fpv for a month now , i can come to banglore for flying and meetups .
I have participated in drone competitions across north india , Kindly add me to the watsapp group if any of the pilots in Banglore.
I have a 250 Blackout clone !
07708265423.
I definitely want to participate in drone Nationals ,
Cheers!!

hey ,
greetings
One can choose some college for drone nationals to conduct an event .
We have conducted a multirotor  event successfully in NIT Trichy , My college has sufficient space
in open to have a race track , it even has a helipad.
If anyone would like to know more about this location do comment ,
800 Acre campus , 20 km away from airport , totally safe!, Trichy -620015.


cheers!

That place has a helipad? I guess the chances become more bleak if there is a manned aerial vehicle flying around. There is a reason why we don't fly near airports and helipads!

Hey,
Well the president once landed in our college,so for that it was made, my college Rc team flies there only.
Cheers

Hey guys, For those asking to be added to the bangalore group but are staying out of bangalore, i am sorry but the group is exclusively for bangalore flyers, Hope you guys understand as it wouldnt make sense to add anyone else to this group . On another note, there is another whatsapp group which will be formed soon once the India Drone Nationals website is up and running and you guys register on that. That will be for all FPV mini pilots in india So just hold on for about a week more that is all.
@shubham nice to know that you are trying to build a community in Delhi  . Actually would recommend you to start a delhi mini flyer thread on rcindia so that the rest of us can also see what you guys are upto now and then.

Add me too, I stay in Indiranagar 9980836457. I have an eachine racer 250

Add me in..   9790577726
