Flite Test FT Racer

Flite Test has some great scratch build RC airplane designs and amusing videos to boot.

I built their "FT Racer." It was simple to build and have been very pleased with the results. Check it out...

  1. Sweet. You need to make some cobra logos to stick on there.

    Weird prop artifacts in the video too. I looked it up and it's called rolling shutter, but you probably already knew that.

    1. Yes, with most video sensors (including GoPro) the different parts of the image are actually exposed at different times, generally from left to right, top to bottom. When there is a lot of movement in the scene, it can cause aliasing. This is also the cause of the "Jello effect" on the GoPro in high vibration shooting.
