Location: Polecat Training Center, 1054 Polecat Hollow, Fayetteville, TN 37334 (90min outside of Nashville)

Overview: FPV Crash Course

Our first civilian FPV Crash Course will take place at the Polecat Racetrack in Lynchburg, Tennessee from March 8th to 9th! 

Come to Lynchburg (home of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey) and learn to fly and repair your own high-speed FPV drone. Train with Drone Racers, Special Forces Veterans and our own 2OE Design Engineers as they all teach you how to fly HOURGLASS, our patent-pending tri-plane drone design. Attendees will start with a small FPV drone, then work their way up to our powerful 10″ FPV platform. Attendees will also gain a detailed, hands-on understanding of FPV components, allowing them to perform basic repairs as they safely improve their skills at their home locations.

• Drone repairs and assembly
