What we’re about
The DC Area Drone User Group (DC DUG) is an organization for amateur and professional drone users that seeks to promote the responsible use of flying robots for community service, artistic, entrepreneurial, and recreational purposes. All experience levels are welcome. We get together as a community to share tips, experiences, and of course to do some flying. We work to educate ourselves about how to build and use drones in a safe and respectful manner and to educate the public about the positive role aerial robotics can play in our society. Most importantly, we think that flying robots are a lot of fun! DC DUG is a member of the Drone User Group Network, an association of community organizations that promote the use of civilian drone technology for the benefit of humanity.

See all- Learning series: Drone racing!?New Makerspace - (RSC), Rockville, MD
At our next meeting, DC Area Drone User Group member Mike Payne will speak on how to get started in FPV drone racing. His presentation will cover his journey into 'racing'/freestyle, what you need to get started, and ideas for our Meetup group to organize local racing events.
We'll get started shortly after 6pm so please try to arrive on time! We'll send out a Zoom link via email the day of the event for those who'd like to join virtually.
We plan on having some time to chat at the MakerSpace after the talk, and then a group may migrate to a nearby bar/restaurant to continue the conversation.
We're being hosted by MoCo Makers and the Rockville Science Center. If you'd like to help us continue to use the space, please become a formal member of the DC Area DUG by signing up here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dcdrone - all contributions will go directly toward our group's use of the Rockville Science Center facilities. For only $2/month members will get access to exclusive chat rooms and membership parties. Membership is never required to attend our free events, like this one!
