Manic Tardis charges up eight places in the Old Dogs
You flew 15 heats and spent 36m 21s in the air at the 2026 Australian Drone Nationals. You raced both the Open Class and the Old Dogs, and in the Old Dogs you turned a 20th-place qualifying into a 12th-place finish, gaining 8 places.
Across 11 qualifying heats you flew 12 laps against a 75-pilot field, qualifying 75th with a best single lap of 103.04s. That 103.04s came late, in Round 33, and was a big step forward on the 150s-plus laps from earlier in the week. You took your place in the B Main and finished 75th of 75 in the Open Class Finals. The real story came in the Old Dogs, where you qualified 20th of 20 and raced your way up to 12th, finishing ahead of Karade in your quarterfinal.

In Redemption Round 4 you flew a 175.85s lap for 6th of 6, following Skyline88 home.
The Old Dogs quarterfinal was a highlight: a 164.25s lap brought you 3rd of 5, ahead of Karade. That result kept your Old Dogs run alive and pushed you up the order.
You took your place in the Old Dogs semifinal and flew a 163.75s lap to finish 6th of 6. Reaching that semifinal from 20th in qualifying was the climb that carried you to 12th overall.
Gaining eight places in the Old Dogs and spending more than half an hour in the air is a Nationals to remember. Thanks for flying for FPV Rebels, Manic Tardis, and we'll see you out there again next year.
