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.

The numbers are about Piknik Droniarza in Opole, not the Bydgoszcz group. Sources: Facebook, YouTube and Prosto z Opolskiego counters.
Andrii Shramko was one of the organisers of Piknik Droniarza (9 May 2026, Toropol ice rink, Opole) — alongside Miasto Opole (the City of Opole), MOSiR Opole, Kacper Kwiatkowski and Piotr Kolasa. Media patron: Prosto z Opolskiego.
Every pilot flies at their own risk and in line with current EU and ULC (Polish Civil Aviation Authority) rules: operator registration, the required competencies (e.g. A1/A3), mandatory operator third-party liability insurance (OC) for drones from 250 g to 20 kg, checking airspace zones and notifying the flight in the DroneTower app (PAŻP). We do not fly over assemblies of people. The initiator does not organise flights for third parties and is not responsible for flights by group participants.

Parents
Does your child dream of a drone? Drones teach physics, programming and responsibility. We run activities for children only at a host institution (a school or community centre), under its child safeguarding standards. We do not collect children’s data.
No. You can come along to watch, chat and try the simulator. We’ll help you work out where to start.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Meet-ups are free — everyone comes at their own expense and flies at their own risk.
When do we fly?
Every Wednesday and Saturday, for the 2 hours before sunset. The time is calculated automatically and shown on this page; we agree on the spot in advance in the Facebook group.
Where do we fly?
We choose the spot together in the group — only where flying is allowed. Bydgoszcz has airport zones, so we always check DroneTower.
I have an RC car or boat. Is this for me?
Yes. The RC Bydgoszcz group is open to all remote-controlled models: drones, planes, cars and boats.
Is this already an association?
Not yet. Today it’s an informal community; we’ll found the association once a committed crew comes together.
