Russia: Star Wars eat your heart out Drone Grand Prix kicks off in Moscow Region

The first Russian races of the year involving quadcopters kicked off at the Drone Grand Prix 2016 in the Moscow Region on Wednesday. On the first day about 20 experienced pilots competed in a speed race using virtual reality glasses that transmitted video from cameras mounted on their drones. SOT, Vladimir Meshcheriakov, Drone pilot, Bronze Medallist of World Drone Prix 2016 (Russian): I have been fond of drone races for exactly one year. I was fond of radiocontrolled helicopters and planes before that.
