Fly Your Own Race // My Journey to Professional Drone Racing
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Like the title says, follow Team AirVūz pilot Paul Nurkkala - aka NurkFPV - on his journey into professional drone racing. As he'd only been flying for three years, his crowning as the 2018 DRL Allianz World Champion was a huge moment. He says he spent 10 hours a day practicing to get to that moment when, flying over 90 MPH, he clinched the title. Learn Nurk's story, watch his fantastic footage, and get inspired to fly too in this great video.
