Northern Alberta FPV League sets August 2 MultiGP qualifier at Ministik Park
A second Edmonton-area qualifier gives pilots one more shot at a global time, with 10 packs and a best 3-lap run deciding who climbs the MultiGP board.
Pilots who missed the first Edmonton-area shot, or left speed on the table in Sherwood Park, get a second chance on August 2 as Northern Alberta FPV League returns with its second 2026 MultiGP Global Qualifier at Ministik Park in Strathcona County, southeast of Edmonton. This one is not a bracket race. It is a time trial, with each pilot allowed a maximum of 10 packs and the best three-lap qualifying time sent to the global leaderboard.
That format is what makes the date matter. In MultiGP’s qualifier system, the goal is not just to beat the person in the next gate but to post a cleaner, faster lap set on the official annual qualifier track, the standard that feeds championship qualification. MultiGP says any eligible chapter can host a limited number of Global Qualifier races, and Northern Alberta FPV League’s August 2 event lands as the chapter’s second of two 2026 qualifiers, after its first Edmonton-area stop on July 12 in Sherwood Park.
The event also lowers the barrier for newer pilots without softening the competition. Northern Alberta FPV League says all skill levels are welcome, first-timers are encouraged, and spectators are welcome. At the same time, pilots must hold MAAC membership and comply with Canadian aviation rules. MAAC requires members to sign its code of conduct annually, and its Off-Site Flyer Program is meant to widen safe flying options for members away from home fields.
The technical rules will shape who sees the August date as the smarter qualifying attempt. The qualifier is open class, but the event page sets an 800-gram maximum all-up weight, a 4.35-volt-per-cell battery charge limit, a 305mm maximum size, and a 25mW video transmitter cap on Raceband channels 1 through 8. DJI and Walksnail aircraft are allowed, but they will fly in separate heats to keep video systems from interfering with one another.
The track itself will be posted on the MultiGP website and in Velocidrone, giving pilots a chance to rehearse before race day. For anyone deciding whether to chase the board in Edmonton, the calculation is clear: a later summer date, a known course, and another run at a sanctioned time that can travel far beyond Strathcona County.
