New Drone speed record, worlds fastest Drone!
Recently there was a new Drone speed record set. The record was done by the team at Drone Racing League (DRL).
This is from the UAVCoach.com site:
"To set the record the DRL team needed to fly the RacerX back and forth across a course of 100 meters (328 feet), with the official record set as the average of the top speed achieved on each of those flights.
