‘FPV Drone Racing World Champion 2015’
In episode #11 we talk to local Gold Coaster Chad Nowak (AKA FinalGlideAus) who won a great victory for Australia at the inaugural US National Drone Racing Championships in California, USA in July. This was a very important victory for Chad, as it was widely known as the first international event, and he will go down in history as the World’s First Champion Drone Racer.
Chad not only won the final race, but was 20 seconds ahead of second place, and about one full lap ahead. The competition featured FPV racing (first person view), in which competitors wear goggles to give them a drones-eye perspective, as they clock speeds of more than 60 kilometres per hour.
