The FAA has proposed Remote ID regulations that would severely hinder recreational drone racers such as myself. This is the comment I submitted to the FAA. The deadline to comment is on March 2, 2020.

It’s difficult to describe the inner turmoil that a drone racer faces when he isn’t doing well in a heat. You know that it will be over in 2 minutes or less, but it’s torture as you wait for the timer to expire so that your public embarrassment will be over.

I was in the Top 16 at the 2019 RDQ MultiGP Sports Class Championship in Daytona, Florida. This mean that I would be racing under the lights in the stadium. Holy. Cow.

Here we were about to compete in a major MultiGP event. I was really excited to be racing again! I didn’t expect to win, so I wasn’t too nervous. But I was also excited to see whether the hard work I had been putting in the previous months would pay off.

If you’re not sure where to start with the growth mindset, simply adding the word “yet” works great. This means when learning the track and you start to have negative thoughts, remember that you haven’t learned – yet.

Launch control is awesome! Our Safety Third crew heard about launch control in Betaflight – and had a series of follies trying to set it up.
