Flying Fast With a Family of Drone Racers

When Conrad Miller turned in his motorcycle for a radio-controlled drone, he felt he was making an even trade. What started as an outlet for his adrenaline addiction became an all-consuming passion, one that he now shares with his 12-year-old son, Sorell. The family duo is now traveling the United States as Conrad competes in the inaugural season of the Drone Racing League.

Great Story, great dad & sun-team. Wish my 12 y old son would be that enthusiastic about fpv/drones. He tried but now he wants to stick with delta-wings, no it up !!

These drons are like UAV's. So more or less it's like being a future pilot of schematic machine.

That is bad ass! I know my hands would be shaking as well.
Ive been designing, building, and flying quads for years but only for line of sight acro. I bought some Fatshark goggles a few years ago and tried FPV, but the image and field of view is so small that I'm not comfortable flying with them. Tried different cams and lenses but it was the same. Definitely,   not the "immersive" experienced that was claimed. You guys must have mad skills and a good setup to be flying in dark spaces like that.

Im a "Racer Kid" too but i wish my dad will race too

[layrad]

It's like Dell and Steph....but for drone racing hahahaah! xD
