New Zealand Open Drone race was held in February this year and probably the only international event for us for a while. Anyway it was an awesome event, with some of the best people in drone racing running it.

Once again FPVDoug and BMSThomas race again in yet another final. In the race footage they have two mid airs 🚀 A very quick Race Vlog, I should have got more footage but time got the better of us. A massive thank you goes out to SupperDizzyDi for providing me the phone footage at the end which really helped finish off this edit.

From here on in the next few edits are going to be going back in time. Thomas also wants to run some live-streams both on this channel and his personal channel too.

Once again a massive thanks to the NZ Crew for looking after all the Aussies who attended this amazing event.

Also a massive thanks to Bruce from RCModelReviews and XJet Channel for spending so much time with the BMS family! It was every much appreciated and you're a legend.

Because of delays in production, Chinese New Year along with other world events, the configuration of the quads Thomas raced here used some different gear to what he normally uses. The two big changes was running HobbyWing 20x20 ESC and Talon Fusion F7 FC.
