Westland FPV 1 - May 4th

After the success of our events in 2018 (under the Hillbilly Hotquads banner) Westland Drone Events are proud to be part of the iFPV race calendar with our 2019 series for the South West region.

 
We’ve secured two fantastic venues for this year that have a suitably flight-based feel: First is the Weston Helicopter Museum, the World’s largest dedicated helicopter collection, just off the M5 in Weston-super-Mare. You’ll be racing on a helipad agaisnt the backdrop of  boneyard full of helicopters. The second, and new for 2019, is Historic Helicopters, situated in the rolling hills outside Chard. Most importantly, both venues have full cafe facilities, mains power for charging and proper flushing toilets!

Each of our events will be themed with some track elements that will tie in. Starting with our opening event on May 4th which just has to be Star Wars themed! Fancy dress is optional but encouraged!
The Westland series is three events in total leading up to our final on 18th August, World Helicopter Day. This is also a British Nationals Qualifying Event.

On top of this, all Westland events feed into the South West/Wales Regional Series so by attending our events you get two opportunities to get to the British National Championships 2019! You must be a member of the British Drone Racing Association prior to the event for your points to count towards national statistics.

All our events are run using an ImmersionRC LapRF timing system linked to  Livetime for rock solid timing and all the benefits you’ve come to expect.

Sign-up for each event will open 6 weeks before each event and will be completed via the iFPV site to confirm BDRA membership.
