Adelaide FPV Racing is South Australia's first and only dedicated drone racing club.
We provide regular racing events using industry standard equipment under the guidance of experienced operators. We are insured and have the necessary approvals to fly.
Beginners and visitors are welcome, our experienced club members are happy to provide guidance and help those new to the sport.
We typically meet twice a month. A full listing of events is available on our facebook page.
Always check our facebook event page close to the event to see if there are any last minute changes due to weather or other circumstances.
AFPVR is always searching for new and interesting locations where the owner has provided permission for club members to fly, so if you know of any locations please get in contact.

Weather policy
The night before an event, the committee will advise by email and social media by 6pm if the event will be cancelled due to weather concerns.
This decision will be made by consensus of three or more members of the committee based on forecast rainfall, wind speed, temperature and UV rating.
Any cancellations will be expressly for the purpose of safety and avoiding equipment damage and as such are not negotiable.
