Registration now open at nafpv2015.com

NEFPV, in conjunction with TBRC, are very excited to announce the 5th Annual North American FPV Meet!

In the tradition of a true continental FPV Meet, NAFPV 2015 will be hosted by the NEFPV crew in upstate New York. We are honored to work with our brothers at Team Basement RC up in Canada to bring you the fifth iteration of this fantastic tradition. We only hope to live up to the precedent set forth by all our northern friends. We are aiming high and hope that you all will come join us to fly or just be part of one of the most awesome FPV gatherings in North America! Last year, the event was held outside of Toronto, Canada. This year, it is being held in our beautiful backyard in the Taconic Mountains of upstate New York, USA!

NAFPV 2015 is an FPV event for FPV pilots and builders, by FPV pilots and builders. Our goal is to host an amazing event where pilots and enthusiasts can get together to share time in the air, on the field, and in the workshop. We want to create a place where enthusiasts come to have a great time, meet some insanely great people, and learn something new about FPV. Our schedule and activities will provide free-flight time, scheduled race and competition events, pilot & product demonstrations, workshops, night-flying fun, and plenty of social time and camaraderie. We may even serve poutine in honor of our Canadian friends! Along the way, we will have prizes and raffles as provided by our many, generous sponsors.
