Nice work. How fast can the drone fly? Good range of camera shots.

The primary throttles seem to be quite wide open at idle, but I suppose even at idle a 7L engine breathes deeply through two ports?

Thank you Peter!

The primaries supply most of the idle air when hot, but they certainly are not "wide open". The PWM Idle valve is VERY noisy when open so it can not supply idle air. Most of my driving with this car is done with less than 15% throttle.

Indeed it is. :roll:

Marcus and I needed good comms while doing our shoots, where phones simply wont do.

Marcus replies as follows:
"The 450 quad with Naza flite controller can reach about 60mph. We filmed in HD and zoomed a bit to get some shots. For other shots we just flew close and were careful."

We learnt very quickly thought that a fast moving car does not produce good footage.
