I believe we have some FPVers at the KW Flying Dutchmen club. See my signature for the link.

Thanks. It always feels for me that RC Clubs not welcoming FPV too much especially if you talk about Long Range.

Re: FPV in Kitchener-Waterloo area?

I can't speak with authority for the club but I believe as long as you are a member-in-good-standing of KWFD who has passed their wings test and you adhere to MAAC's requirements/regulations and you don't break any laws, you are probably ok. Email the Pres./VP on our web site for the official stance on it.

Steve B. does at the Dutchmen. I am sure you will find out more if you go there and check it out and talk to him.

Re: FPV in Kitchener-Waterloo area?

Be aware that MAAC has new FPV guidelines that you must adhere to when flying at MAAC fields. This precludes certain FPV activities.

For some cool FPV flying in Southern Ontario, check out Team Basement RC
