The challenge:
Fly between two light poles as fast as possible in level flight. Flat speed to be derived by counting video frames.
The Field (in Order of Video Appearance):
Parkzone UM Pole Cat powerd by 1S Turnigy 138mAh 20C
E-Flite UMX Sbach 342 powered by 2S E-Flight 120mAh 20C
Hobbyzone Champ powered by 1S Turnigy 138mAh 20C
E-Flite UMX Beast powered by 2S E-Flight 120mAh 20C
Nano Corsair powered by 3S Thunder Power G4 v2 350mAh 20C
The Race:

The Results:
The Beast and the Pole Cat should be considered tied (within the margin of error) when sorted by time, but certainly not when sorted by $Seconds. $Seconds = ($ * Seconds).
I gave the Champ a $10 credit for its toy RTF radio. The Nano Corsair price includes a 3S 350mAh battery and Optima 6 Rx.
