Where to begin? I’m going to Dubai!!! Sadly though I didn’t put the effort in to be a pilot. I am going with Team AirVuz and supporting FlyingBearFPV (friend and fellow teammate on AirVuz and Multirotor Super Store). I am very excited to be attending the very first World Drone Prix, and hope to see it becoming an annual event that I attend!

So where do we stand now? We were one of the top 32 teams that qualified so our trip is covered. That is a small chunk of what we are doing. The past two nights several team members have been building quads. We have built six quad copters for the races. Today we have a little bit of practice ahead of us. We already are trying to use the equipment that will be raced with at the event. Sadly it’s pouring rain here so our testing must be conducted in a garage which isn’t ideal. The qualifying for the event (Monday / Tuesday) is an indoor race, so maybe it will play to our advantage a little.

I am so unprepared for travel. I still have so much last minute stuff to buy and pack. I am bringing my quads (Rage 210 and Rage X – Raceflight Edition). I am the backup pilot for the event, so I have to be ready to jump into the action if needed. I have not practiced nearly as much as I wish I could have done by this point though.

So for the next week this blog will be filled with what is currently going on with us and how we are doing!
