What does CFDR mean in RACING

The Canadian Federation for Drone Racing (CFDR) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing the sport of drone racing and recreational drone flying in Canada. It is committed to developing a safe, fair and fun environment where people of all ages and levels can learn to fly drones in a responsible manner while having fun.

The CFDR has several main objectives, which include promoting safe operations through safety standards, spreading awareness of the sport, encouraging youth involvement in the hobby as well as supporting drone racing competition events across Canada.

No, anyone can join the CFDR regardless of age. However, to participate in competitive events most league organizers require that you be at least 12 years old.

Events vary from region to region but you’ll usually find at least one event happening per month or two, with larger competitions being held once a year.
