You flew 33 heats and 112 laps across Open Class and Pro Spec at the 2026 Australian Drone Nationals, an hour in the air against the best in the country. You climbed from 16th to 11th of 75 in Open Class on the back of four straight redemption wins, and in Pro Spec you raced all the way into the Chase the Ace final to finish 4th of 35.
You qualified 16th of 75 with a best two consecutive of 51.12s and a best lap of 25.41s, set in your very last time trial, well inside the field median of 31.28s. A 4th in Winners Round 1 of the A Main sent you to the redemption side, and that is where you came alive. You won Redemption Rounds 2, 4, 6 and 8 back to back, getting quicker each time down to a 25.84s lap. That run carried you up five places to finish 11th of 75.

Qualifying in Pro Spec was a statement: you topped all nine of your time trial heats and chipped your best lap down to 34.27s, landing 6th of 35. In the A Main you took 2nd in three straight winners rounds, chasing IQ0 each time and beating CGO, Red2rotor and Davey FPV along the way. That earned you a seat in the Chase the Ace final, where your 34.86s lap in Heat 1 was right on your qualifying best. You finished 4th of 35, two places up on where you qualified.
