Queensland's First Approved FPV Drone Group Opens March and April Event Registration

Registration is open for FPV Rebels' April indoor Micro Night, the next event on a three-meet early-season calendar from Queensland's first officially approved FPV Drone Flying Special Interest group.

The MAAA-affiliated club built its opening run of 2026 around Bill Brown Sports Reserve, where a February 21 Race and Funfly kicked off at 8:00 am and an outdoor race and fun-fly followed on March 21. That outdoor leg wrapped two days ago, setting up the April 3 Indoor Micro Night as the calendar's remaining open entry.

FPV Rebels describes itself as giving pilots the chance to "fly your multi-rotors safely and legally," a framing that speaks directly to the regulatory landscape Queensland FPV pilots have navigated without a formally recognized club structure. The group's promotional copy notes pilots can "be part of a friendly and supportive atmosphere" at its monthly meets.

The April 3 venue was only partially listed in published event materials, with the location name truncated in available sources. Full venue details, registration links, entry fees, and class categories had not been confirmed in materials available at the time of writing, and pilots should check the FPV Rebels event page directly for those specifics before entering.

The group's MAAA affiliation is central to its pitch: operating under that umbrella provides the insurance and regulatory legitimacy that informal flying groups cannot offer, which is the practical difference between a grassroots meetup and a sanctioned race program. For Queensland pilots who have been flying without that cover, FPV Rebels' calendar represents a concrete on-ramp into structured competition before the cooler autumn months set in.
