MultiGP Drone Racing is proud to
announce that they will host and manage the FPV flight line at Joe Nall
week from May 17th-20th. One of the largest radio controlled fly-ins in
the world, Joe Nall week is expected to attract thousands of pilots to
the Triple Tree Aerodrome in Woodruff, South Carolina. With a tradition
that goes back to 1983, this annual event was renamed after Joe Nall in
1990. Attendants from all 50 states, and over a dozen international
locations, will enjoy a week of radio controlled aviation excitement,
with craft of all shapes and sizes taking to the sky.
“We invite the curious, the enthusiast and the seasoned RC pilots to connect with us, fly with us and compete
with us. This is a great opportunity to get an intimate and up-close
perspective on what makes this emerging portion of the hobby so
exciting,” said Chris Thomas, Founder of MultiGP.
MultiGP will setup a full-scale drone
racing challenge course with air gates and flags designed for fun and
competition. Throughout the day fun-fly participants will be given an
opportunity to try their hand at FPV free flight above the tree line
(fixed wing/multirotor) or running the challenge course below the tree
line (multirotor). Each day a managed practice and/or qualifier will be
run for those entered into the "MultiGP Drone Racing Challenge at Joe
Nall" which will be held Saturday afternoon. Friday night will also be
an evening of twilight LED-lit fun fly in spirit of the Joe Nall
tradition of RC night flying.
The Joe Nall Week festival will take
place from May 13th - 20th, and is held at the Triple Tree Aerodrome,
330 Mary Hanna Road, Woodruff, SC 29388.
