In our new format, we are going to dedicate the second Sunday of each month to FPV practice and racing at Poplar Ford Field.
On these FPV days, all NVRC members wishing to fly fixed wing line of sight are welcome to use the Lorton Field – even if you do not have the normal Lorton membership transmitter band.
This race is for 25mw vTx only.
The 2018-19 NVRC FPV Race Series will be open class (3s and up) flying through gates and pylons. Scores will be tallied by the number of completed laps in 2 minutes through 4 rounds. Prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers at the end of the day, but the real prize will be the Series Champion. This award will be handed out at the end of the season in March. There will be seven races scheduled in the season, but only the top six will be scored.
Registration closes on Friday evening at 8PM. After this point, all pilots will be checked in and vTx frequencies and racing heats will be assigned based on NVRC’s ranking system (looks at your past 10 races to set heats).
IMPORTANT – you must show your AMA card and FAA Registration. If we cannot verify your AMA and FAA, you will not be allowed to fly.
$10 landing fee for non-NVRC club members, $5 if you show your NVRC member card. Landing fee includes snacks and drinks during the races.
**Novice and intermediate level pilots will be grouped as best as possible into heats with their peers.
***A note about inclement weather: If for any reason we cannot fly (snow, rain, wind), we’ll send out notification by Saturday afternoon. The race will not be rescheduled.
