It's #OnePackWednesday once again! Sort of. It's technically two LiPos, but it's one each. Anyway, it's quite a surprise to me how much you can learn in one day of flying the same track, as you can see in my first and last heats. By no means, was I able to keep up, the other racers were finishing in less than half my time! But still proud for joining the race and finishing as much heats as I could. And I hope this inspires noobs like me to learn from this and join a race yourself! Three (More) Things I Learned From My First Race 1. Preparation! You have to make sure your quad is all set, LiPos are charged, tools are in the bag, and you have other things you need like extension cords. In my case, I was drowsy with antihistamines the night before with my quad's Smart Audio not working, and the push button for manually changing frequency had yet to be soldered. I only had 3 good LiPos. And I thought my Fatshark still had a good charge, but that wasn't the case on race day! 2. Know What You're Racing For The first time you fly at a race is nerve-wracking. Heck even the more experienced pilots were all nerves on their first heat! So it's good to remember what you're there for. Most of the people were racing for the top. Some were just racing for their best personal time. I was there to get a feel of the race and to complete as much of my heats without DNFing. End of the day, you should be having FUN or you're doing it wrong. 3. Come With A Crew I don't mean a dedicated pit crew, but being there with the TWPH pilots who helped me fix my quad in the nick of time and saved me while my Fatshark battery was charging. I knew some of the other regular Brittany pilots too, but other pilots may be busy fixing their own stuff, so it's good to know you have friends in your corner to help you with field repairs. Plus it's just more fun! Thank you to the Tiny Whoop Philippines pilots who were there in my corner Lendl Layug, Raymond Rodriguez, and Mark D' Videoman, to Cavite Drone Racing Club for organizing their 2nd CAVDRC FPV RACE held at the Brittany RC Flying Field Molino Boulevard, Bacoor Cavite, and to our sponsor Crown Asia.
