Winter Fly In and Drone Competition

Winter Fly-In Drone Meetup & Obstacle Course Competition

The Winter Fly-In Drone Meetup and Obstacle Course Competition is designed to celebrate the rapidly expanding drone industry through thrilling competitions and a strong focus on safety. By bringing together middle and high school students, adult hobbyists, and industry professionals, we create an exciting and educational environment where young innovators can explore the endless possibilities of drone technology. This event fosters community engagement, inspires creativity, and helps shape the next generation of drone enthusiasts.

Test Your Skills & Compete for Trophies

Get ready to race against the clock on our massive drone obstacle course and put your flying abilities to the test in the NIST lane challenge. Trophies will be awarded in multiple categories for the fastest times in both courses.

Drone & Safety Requirements

• Weight Limit: All drones must be 340 grams or less.
• Prop Guards: Required for all drones (various models will be available on-site).
• No Drone? No Problem! DJI Neo drones will be available for participants who don’t have a drone or whose drone doesn’t meet safety requirements.
