Join BTW Club

Tiny little toy drones that typically weigh less than a packet of Tic Tacs that we fly using cameras onboard that send video back to special goggles we wear. It means we get to fly like a bird without ever leaving the ground, swoop amongst tables and chairs and turn the whole world into a racetrack and playground.

Of course! Like many whoop clubs up and down the country you are very welcome to come along to any of our Whoop Nights and give it a go. Your first visit is free and we have beginner training drones available to use

Everyone can become a member for free and get access to our Members Area. This is where we give back to the FPV Community with information and help passing your CAA DEMARES test, offers and deals, priority notifications of events. You also get to take part in the largest Whoop community in the UK!

Because you get a cool Blue Shiny Sticker of course! But more importantly because this is how everyone can contribute to giving kids in the local area free drone flying experiences. We go out and do this because we want to show the world how exciting drone flying is, stimulating their curiosity and passion for STEM subjects. As a BTW Community Supporter, you’ll be part of that work, get photos and reports on the events we hold and see the change your contribution makes.

This is the best value package we can put together for our members including an exclusive Gold holographic sticker, Personalised Pilot TShirt and Discounts on lots of Products and Events. But most importantly it gets you significant Public Liability, Employers and Personal Accident insurance cover for your drone flying. This means you can fly with peace of mind knowing if the worst happens you have back up.

You don’t have to, everyone is welcome to come along to any Whoop Night event by signing up on iFPV here. However, you get a great discount by committing to a regular plan. Whoop Night Racers also get to sign up early and exclusive discounts on our races including BIRD. These always sell out in hours, so it’s a benefit worth having!

We have created a high value package of benefits, goodies, discounts and insurance to offer our members. You get more from our membership than any other UK drone club. It’s taken a lot of work, but we think it's worth it.

It’s true! Insurance, TShirts, Stickers all cost more elsewhere, let alone the discounts, goodies and priority event notification. We feel great being able to give the most to the members of the largest whoop community in the UK.

Yes that’s right, it’s free! You just need to pop your Reg plate into the ipad on reception to assign yourself a free parking pass.

Yeah these are really cool and exclusively for our BTW Gold Members. You can sign up here to get all the benefits and we will pop one in the post so you can proudly show you’re one of the club.

Can me & my mate fly for free?

Sorry No

Can me & my mate fly for free if we help promote the club and the events?

Sounds great! Use the Contact Us form and let’s work something out.

Most of us fly 65mm fully ducted whoops like this: https://tinyurl.com/whoop65

But anything up to 85mm and under 249g is allowed, providing it’s fully ducted and flown within your control. Anything over 100g will require proof of insurance cover before you are allowed to fly.

This is a proud emblem for the BTW Community Supporters. It sets you out as someone who wants to give back to the FPV community and share the love of FPV flight with as many kids as possible. When you sign up we will pop one in the post to you to say thanks for being a supporter!

Nope. This hobby is open to all ages and abilities. Some RC or Games Console experience is a benefit but if you can hold a controller and operate the controls, you are welcome to give it a go. Typically kids from age +10 can grasp the controls and understand the safety aspects well enough to join in regular Whoop Nights.

This is a personal decision as there is no law mandating insurance for recreational flying. Some race organisers will insist on insurance. However, accidents do happen which can cost significant amounts. If you break a TV or a light fitting, can you pay for it to be repaired? What about if you hit someone and injure them, can you pay solicitors to defend a compensation claim? We want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy flying without the fear of something going wrong which is why we offer insurance as part of our Gold Membership plan.

Yes, we have worked hard to find a package that you can use up and down the country at all race events. The cover is actually higher than some other insurance providers! And, if you are volunteering at BTW Events, you are covered under Employers Liability insurance so it’s great for everyone!

Yes, please do! It’s free to watch and we often have people pop their heads in to see what we are up to. We want to spread the wonderful whoop experience with as many people as possible. We can even lend you goggles to get behind the lens and ride along with our members as they fly the course. It’s a truly immersive experience like nothing else!

There are several ways to get started, but in short you can;

• Come to a whoop night and give it a go. The first visit is free and we have drones you can have a go on

• Come to a whoop night and rent a drone for the evening. We supply everything you need, offer tuition on learning to fly and manage charging batteries for you.

• Find a Give It A Go event near you to come and try it out.

• Join a Rotor Racers event like FPV Crash Course to get a deep dive into the hobby learning everything you need to know

• Learn independently like lots of whoopers by joining our facebook group, following online youtube videos and reading tutorials from loads of passionate and supportive people.

When you sign up to a BTW Gold Membership you’ll be sent a coupon code to use in our store.

Certainly can! The BTW Community Supporters allow us to go into charitable youth groups like scouts, cadets, youth clubs and churches to offer free drone flying experiences to kids. The more supporters we have, the more free flying experiences we can deliver. Use the Contact Us form to drop us a message and lets chat about it!

Yes, we offer corporate packages for fun days, team building and rewards. We offer a standard package or we can accommodate any scale of race or experience you have in mind. Anything from a small board room challenge up to an inter-site team racing league. Drop us a message here and let’s chat about your plans.
