FPV RACING EVENT 2 B HELD AT PRCAC FLYING FIELD THIS SATURDAY 22ND APRIL

Hi Guys,

I got a call earlier today from Dave Purebred from FPVR.org (and NSWMRC.org) advising that the first event in their winter season, the first round of the NSW series, must find a new location less than 48 hours before the event is to be held this Saturday. The issue comes from a scheduling error with Western Sydney University (FPVR.org's primary location for competition events) which was only discovered at the last minute.

I have spoken with our secretary Chris, who has agreed to allow the competition to be moved to our flying field on short notice for this one off event, provided that a number of conditions are met.

On site parking will follow our regular routine, with any overflow cars pushed west towards the heli area or parked out on Tucks Rd. A multirotor circuit made up of gates, flags and stuff will be assembled in the flying area, with care taken to allow fixed-wing flyers to use the runway at several points throughout the day. Conventional flying will be possible before 9am, as well as 30-minutes between 9am and 11am + 30minutes between 11am and 1pm (at a minimum). Dave visited the flying field this afternoon and is also investigating whether he can condense his setup to allow conventional flying through the day's proceedings (a am not confident this will be possible though). Setup will begin from 7:30am ,with the day's schedule beginning at 9am and running through until 5pm.

Unfortunately our Treasurer, Secretary and President will not be around this weekend to supervise, but I will be there from beginning to end, so please feel free to direct any questions, requests or issues to me. Obviously it is our flying field and this is very short notice, so it is a key priority to ensure that we can accommodate PRCAC members wherever possible.

PRCAC will receive some modest income in the form of $5 for each registered pilot (half the pilot registration fee), with between 30 and 40 pilots expected to attend on the day I am told.

Anyone among us who is interested in getting involved and competing on the day should visit fpvr.org, create a login and register their name for the relevant event (link to 22nd of April event can be found on front page). As members of PRCAC you are already insured and do not need to become members of NSWMRC for coverage. NOTE - There are prizes for placeholders and it is perhaps worth mentioning that the winner of each state leaderboard this season gets a free ticket to go and compete at the Drone World Championships in Korea.

My number is 0414915451 should anyone wish to get in contact with me.

regards,

Jason
