Squadron

Many believed him mad, crazy even. But the godfather of circular polarization, Alex Greve, proved yet again that, “simple physics” and rock-solid antennas are the backbone of FPV racing. With his supervision 18 pilots (16 analog, 2 digital) took to the championship course for a race of epic proportions never before seen or heard.

Workin’ on our night moves

The 2016 MultiGP Drone Racing Championship debuted a world-first FPV night game, La Forge Domination. Shea Ivey, designer of the La Forge module, in cooperation with UBAD presented to pilots his latest creation – a team based, night-time FPV game based on capturing control points. LED “flags” must be captured by flying in proximity for a few seconds to “capture” that point and change the color to your team’s color.
