The BFPVRA is pleased to announce we have secured a venue and dates to hold the British Championships 2016.

The event will run on the 1st/2nd October 2016, and will be held as part of Helifest UK, at Ragley Hall. Full details can be found on the Event Page.

Eligibility criteria will be announced in the coming days, but for now, save the date!

We are pleased to announce the addition of four supporting committee members;

• Richard, richard@bfpvra.org – ‘I am joining to help the hobby progress and help with the league table’
• Warren, warrenj@bfpvra.org – ‘I am joining to help improve the sports growth in the UK. We have some of the world’s best pilots and should support their growth, and support new pilots to come into the sport’
• Andrew, andrew@bfpvra.org – ‘I am joining to support the community and help the great atmosphere grow with everything else’
• Craig, craig@bfpvra.org – ‘I am joining to help the UK pilots be the best they can be, from novice to pro. Being part of the BFPVRA I can help unify the UK FPV pilots and make sure that they will always the strongest and fastest FPV pilots in the world.’

These supporting committee members will be working alongside our core committee council. Rather than the clear roles of the core council, the supporting members will be more flexible; able to volunteer time and fill in where required. This will help us engage with clubs, members, authorities and the world at large to a higher standard than could be expected from the volunteered spare time of the four council members alone.

The BFPVRA is attending Farnborough International Airshow and we will be on the UK Drone Show stands not far from the FPV ‘cage’ flight line.

Swing by and chat with some of our committee and members!

The BFPVRA alongside the BMFA has been awarded the prestigious “Queen’s Air Race Challenge Cup” for 2016 by the Royal Aero Club for an FPV competition.

The event will be held at Popham Airfield on the 30/31st July in association with the BMFA as part of their DroneAware campaign. This is a one-time opportunity to compete in an FPV race for the coveted Queen’s Cup.

The race will count as a Qualifying Event as part of the British Championship series. There are also 2 qualifying positions up for grabs for the World Championships being held in Hawaii in October.

We’re looking for the best pilots in the UK to attend and compete. There are 60 pilot slots.
