The year of the Drone is upon us in 2017. Everything is coming together quite nicely for flying drones.

2016 set the groundwork for regulating drones in the United States and in many countries worldwide.

Regulations and registration have brought needed stability to this flying phenominum in National Airspaces. The US FAA has implemented regulations the make flying drones professionally accessible to thousands of pilots. Initially the FAA offered the Section 333 Exemption but in 2016 Part 107 small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) was implemented to get a Remote Pilots License more accessible.

Worldwide the demand for drone/quadcopter use in industry and agriculture has increased so much that regulation and registration became a necessity.

Recreationally the drone industry has also grown exponentially. Flying drones with cameras has brought a whole new dimension to personal enjoyment. There are drones with camera, drones with video, pocket drones, drones for kids, racing drones, FPV (First Person View) quadcopters, build your drone and ready to fly drones. The list and technology grow almost daily.

Drone is a well recognized catchall word for rotary propeller unmanned aircraft piloted by remote control that come in many sizes, propeller configurations, winged and un-winged. The most common being the four propellered Quadcopter. Larger professional drones come in six and eight propeller configurations.

Future Blogs will cover in more detail, such topics as, FVP Drones, Flying Drones, Drones with Cameras, Drones with Video, Drones for Kids, UAS Regulations, UAS Registration, Drone Flying Safety,Drones with Best Reviews and much more.

I hope this introduction has been helpful. 2017 is the ground floor for some fantastic things to come. The door is open, I hope you'll step in and join us as we all grow in this exciting new way to view the world we live in.

Drone racing competitions are soaring in popularity, providing an intense adrenaline rush while players stay grounded

Drones may be known for taking photos and videos from high above, but a group of drone pilots is looking to popularize the latest trend in Canada: racing.
Competitive drone racing started roughly four years ago, but its popularity recently exploded around the world. One of the biggest competitions even offered $1-million cash prizes in Dubai last year.
"I've been to places like Dubai, Korea, the U.K., just for flying drones," drone pilot Andrew Meyer said.

The sport has even led to the creation of a world championship, broadcast live on television.
There are a variety of rules based on what kind of race the drone owner is competing in, but they are similar to race car driving regulations.
In some leagues, pilots are given points for flying their drones past checkpoints and finishing within a certain amount of time.

Drones can reach speeds of 120 kilometres an hour, with race courses ranging from the mundane circuits, to tracks that feature several levels.
The pilots stay seated, using a remote to control their drone. The drones are equipped with a camera that provides a real-time view of the course to the pilot's goggles.
"It is highly competitive," said Paul Baur, a drone pilot in Vancouver, B.C. "I think the biggest thing is that it is a 100 per cent mental sport."

Despite the hefty cash prizes, the sport can set the average racer back hundreds of dollars in repairs.
"It's all of the excitement without the danger, the only danger is to your pocket book," said Chris D'Aoust.
But the price of crashes doesn't deter drone owners, merely adding to the thrill of the race.

Watch this Video. Excuse the old ad, it came with it. Enjoy!
