(Rosemead, California) – Congratulations to Tech junior Dylan Franco (IDEA) who competed alongside top-rated pilots in last weekend’s invitational Northwest FPV (First Person View) freestyle drone event in Portland, Oregon. Dylan was the only minor and the youngest pilot among the 25 competing professionals, who came from as far away as Colombia.

Already considered a pro at his age, Dylan is sponsored by multiple drone manufacturers who pursued him to represent their products in the rapidly growing FPV market, especially after a very big win last year put his name on the map.

Last weekend’s exclusive invitational was held at what is considered one of the best private FPV drone parks in the world. The five-acre private course was built specifically for this level of competition; freestyling requires extremely high-level skills involving speed, flow, tricks, creativity and consistency.

In addition to flying, the event provided networking opportunities, not only with the best pilots in the world, but with some of the biggest companies in the FPV drone space. Dylan considers himself truly honored and blessed to be counted among the top competitors. And his Tech family considers ourselves blessed with such talent among us!
