We’re bringing together everyone who flies or wants to start: flying every Wednesday and Saturday, big flying picnics a few times a year and FPV drone-building workshops.
Next flying session:Every Wednesday and Saturday, 2 hours before sunset
ShramkoGSFPV is a free FPV simulator created by Andrii Shramko. You fly over photorealistic 3D scans (Gaussian Splatting) of real places — nothing to install.
Free and open source (MIT licence).
Over 1,300 public 3D scans to choose from.
Your own place: scan it with a drone or phone, then fly it in the simulator.
Runs in browsers with WebGPU (Chrome, Edge).
It’s an alpha version — we’re developing it together with pilots.
Photos and videos from what the initiator helped create in Opole. This is how we want to fly in Bydgoszcz too.

This is what weekly flights with the Opole pilots look like: a short meetup, a few batteries, good conversation. We are bringing this format to Bydgoszcz.

Looking for a venue
We’re looking for a venue. Could it be yours?
In Bydgoszcz we don’t yet have a room for workshops or a hall for regular micro-drone flying. We’re looking for an institution, school or company willing to let us use a space free of charge.
Workshop room
approx. 20–40 m², tables and power sockets (soldering irons)
windows or ventilation
1–2 evenings a month or a weekend
Hall for micro-drone flying
a gym or sports hall, ideally approx. 20 × 10 m or larger
ceiling height of approx. 5 m or more
regularly, e.g. once a week for 2 hours in the evening
micro-drones with propeller guards, weighing a few dozen grams
Activities with children and young people are organised by the host — under its own child safeguarding standards. We bring the know-how, simulators and drones. At this stage we sign nothing and pay for nothing.
What exists today and what comes after registration
Today
An informal community of enthusiasts and the RC Bydgoszcz group on Facebook.
The initiator acts as a private individual.
Declarations made through this site are non-binding.
We do not collect money or equipment.
Once the association is founded
A founding meeting (at least 7 people) and entry in the National Court Register (KRS).
Agreements and partnerships with institutions and companies.
Our own events, projects and grant applications.
When it is founded depends on how many people get involved.
Who is behind the initiative

I’m open to new connections and collaboration — and happy to help teams bring unusual projects to life.
A few clicks and one text field. I reply personally.
This is a non-binding expression of interest. The association has not yet been founded or registered — at this stage we do not enter into sponsorship agreements and do not accept money or equipment. Andrii Shramko (private individual, initiator) will reply.
Thank you! Your message has arrived.
I’ll reply within 2 working days. Would you rather talk straight away?
