2018 DRONE GAMES

DRONE U ANNUAL FLY -IN AUG 3-5

“I had the most AMAZING TIME at the inaugural Drone U FlyIn event. It was totally WORTH the investment. Not only did I learn from the different instructors but from all of the attendees. Everyone had knowledge they were willing to share. I cannot say THANK YOU enough to Paul, Rob, Tim, Amanda and the rest of the Drone U team. And to all our instructors who shared their wisdom and what they saw from each of us and willingly shared that as well so we all can learn from it. My next question is: WHEN IS THE NEXT DRONE U FLY IN???” ~ Joel Llacar
