2026 Rotor Rodeo Races: UDL Shrieker Class

OVERVIEW

We are excited to host the SECOND ANNUAL ROTOR RODEO RACES – a two-day whoop racing extravaganza! DAY ONE: UDL IGNITER / DAY TWO: UDL SHRIEKER (any 65mm 1S Whoop)

All skill levels — first-timers encouraged — spectators welcome.

VENUE

We will be racing in the atrium of M.E. Lazerte High School (6804 144 Avenue). Park behind the building (near the sports fields) in the staff parking lot and turn left after entering the doors closest to that lot. Google Maps Link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/RhuAMJJdwFN1JWZJ9

RACE FORMAT

There will be 5-6 qualifying packs followed by bracket racing, with a maximum of 24 pilots. 

PILOT REQUIREMENTS

As we are a MAAC (Model Aeronautics Association of Canada) club and our insurance comes from MAAC, all pilots need a MAAC membership. You can sign up for MAAC at the event. If cost is an issue, let us know and we can help.

DRONE REQUIREMENTS

This will be an UNDERGROUND DRONE LEAGUE SHRIEKER-CLASS event (65mm whoops). Drones must be fully-ducted and powered by single-cell (1S) batteries with a maximum total charge of 4.35v. Video transmitters must be set to 25mw using either Analog or HDZero on Raceband channels 1 through 8. DJI and Walksnail drones are permitted but will fly in separate heats to prevent conflicts with other video systems.

ENTRY FEE / REGISTRATION

Sign-ups for all of our races are done via the MultiGP website – log in to your pilot account (or create one – it’s free) and join the race: https://www.multigp.com/chapters/view/?chapter=Northern-Alberta-FPV-League

For this event, the race fee will be $30 for each day of the event ($25 if you register before July 1st) and registration includes lunch. Tickets can be purchased and paid for via the NAFL website, and we separately encourage donations toward either the Veteran’s Association Food Bank or toward the Lazerte high school athletic programs.
