A quick FPV session flying and racing Happymodel Mobula6 tiny whoops around an empty parking garage.
I went out with @luisanllo to fly our Mobula6 whoops in an underground car park.
The Mobula6 is a 65mm brushless whoop: small enough to fly indoors, fast enough to be a handful once you open the throttle. An underground parking lot turned out to be the perfect track: concrete pillars for gates, painted lines to follow and no wind or people to worry about.
What’s in the video
- 0:00 – Mobula6 FPV parking fly, warming up and learning the layout
- 0:30 – Mobula6 FPV parking race against luisanllo
- 0:37 – The obligatory crash
- 0:42 – Back in the air for another race
Racing line-of-parking against another pilot is a good reality check. It is easy to feel fast on your own, but chasing someone through the same gaps exposes every hesitation and every clumsy line.
Gear
- Happymodel Mobula6 - 65mm brushless tiny whoop, the actual aircraft
- Turnigy 9XR Pro - Radio transmitter
- FrSky - RF module / receiver link
- Eachine EV800D - FPV goggles with a built-in DVR for the onboard footage
Why tiny whoops
Whoops like the Mobula6 hit a sweet spot for practice:
- Cheap to crash - ducted props and a ~20g airframe survive most impacts
- Fly anywhere - a garage, a hallway or a living room is enough
- Same skills - throttle management, smooth stick inputs and line choice all carry over to bigger quads

More flights and crashes to come.
