First Person View Aircraft – Aaron Vandegrift

Faire: Wayne County

Maker: Aaron Vandegrift

Home: Ohio, United States

I build, fly, and race First Person View drones and RC planes. First Person View Drones are a category of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. These drones often are used to provide smooth cinematic shots of landscapes or moving objects. Coming in various sizes and configurations First Person View drones are also extensively enjoyed recreationally. Styles of flight include competitive racing, long range flight, or a wide ranging category called freestyle. I personally have only ever raced drones and most of what I have to share has been purpose built for racing. You can see a racing drone I’ve built in the photo I’ve shared above. Although you can buy prebuilt drones the ones I fly have been hand built and soldered and have involved 3d printing accessories and mounts. This fall I plan to start a new MultiGP Chapter (an international club organization) and try to host some races locally. I just need to build the hardware and find a suitable place to host it.

Low Riders & Culture

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: T.E.A.M. Hope

Home: California, United States

Low Riders have been part of the Mexican culture since the 1940s that has developed into a world wide attraction. Car Shows are more than just car shows. At each car show there are cultural dances, art, food, bands, and much more. Chelu Battle On The Bay is Vallejo's largest festival. Mexican culture such as Car Shows, Ballet Folklorico and Dia De Los Muertos are everywhere. Most people do not even know what they are celebrating, we teach them about culture and the holidays. A display of cars and culture (such as the giant dolls, manikin of a Catrina or real Catrinas) will enhance the cars on display. All activities we create are free for the community while also raising over $40,000 dollars that goes back to the children and those in most need in our community.
