ROYAL ADELAIDE SHOW FPV DRONE RACING - Prize Schedule | Competition Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
     The Royal Adelaide Show (RA&HS) in association with the Model Aeronautical Association
     of Australia (MAAA) and associated clubs, presents Drone racing to be run within the main
      show ground arena. Unlike other Australian drone races the RA&HS show will be held in
     front of a potential audience of up to 10,000 members of the public per night. While prize
     money is available, the RA&HS’s primary motivation is to entertain and educate the public
     in Drone racing and encourage the growth of the sport in Australia. Last year Drone racing
      at the Royal Adelaide Show was exciting and visually spectacular and 2018 is lining up to
                be even more spectacular and exciting for both pilots and the audience
      The Royal Adelaide Show would like to thank MAAA and Adelaide FPV Racing club who
     have provided access to their intellectual property / CASA approval process experience and
             running of Adelaide drone racing events allowing these events to be a reality.
