Tiny Whooping A Circus Tent
A talk from EMF 2024 by Andrew Hyams
On Saturday June 1, 2024 at – in Stage A
This is a workshop by London Aerospace Village
Miniscule FPV racing drones flying round one of the big tents
Small and safe enough to lose a fight with a party balloon or your face
Fast and aerobatic enough to be entertaining (between crashes too!)
Come and watch along with the drones-eye views on the big screens
Bring and fly** your own if you have one*
DISCLAIMER: There are lots of 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz radio sources on site. The workshop organisers control very few of them. There will be interference, it may be unflyable. It can still be a friendly meetup!
*to fly inside the tent all drones;
MUST comply with;
-max 5V batteries (1S)
-max 50g AUW
-max dia80mm PCD motor spacing
-max dia35mm prop sizes
-prop guards
-max 25mW 5.8GHz FPV (R1/R3/R7/R8)
is RECOMMENDED to use;
-analogue or HDZero, to easily be displayed on the screens
-addressable RGB LEDs for easy identification
-ELRS 2.4GHz Tx/Rx***
is PERMITTED to use;
-Walksnail or DJI HD FPV, but as their goggles also transmit you must only power up the drone *or the goggles* as the workshop organiser directs and we may have to distance these pilots a bit further apart
-Other DJI protocols or other FPV projects like Connex, OpenHD, RubyFPV, OpenIPC, WFB-NG, but you must still only power up as directed by the workshop organiser as they still use the same busy radio bandwidth
-Any other control systems such as FrSky, Spektrum, FlySky etc***
**during the workshop, 5.8GHz transmitters (drone VTx's / HD goggles) must only be powered on as permitted by the workshop organiser
***All radio control systems are welcome but older whoop-size receivers may not be as robust in the harsh RF environment of a whoop meet within the harsh RF environment of EMFcamp
