Race Run · MultiGP Chapter Finals · Denver, CO

Marcus Vega's 38.4-second qualifying lap — full onboard, no cuts.

Watch the power loop through gate 7 at 0:52. That entry angle is doing something unusual with the split-S exit.

Marcus Vega

MultiGP Competitive Pilot · Denver, Colorado

The gate doesn't care about your tune. It cares about your line. Get the line right and the quad will follow — but you need 200 crashes before you believe that.

— Marcus Vega, 2025 Chapter Champion, Denver FPV

Marcus placed 4th at the MultiGP International Open 2025 and runs the Denver FPV chapter's Tuesday night practice sessions. His Betaflight tune files are the most-downloaded in the community — 340+ pilots are flying his PID profiles right now. He builds on a custom 210mm frame, runs Mamba F722, and has destroyed 14 sets of Avan Flow props chasing his sub-38-second lap time.

Priya Nair

Garage Builder & Whoop Racer · Austin, Texas

Everyone tells you to start with a Tinyhawk. I did. I crashed it 40 times on day one and called it a win. Day two I learned what the throttle curve actually does. Day three I ordered my first frame kit.

— Priya Nair, Builder & Whoop Class Competitor

Priya runs a build desk out of her Austin garage where she's assembled 23 quads over the past two years — from 65mm whoops to 5-inch freestyle rigs. She started with a Tinyhawk III RTF kit and now teaches beginner build nights at the Austin chapter every third Saturday. Her build logs are meticulous: every solder joint photographed, every weight noted on a postal scale.

Theo Okafor

Freestyle Pilot & DVR Analyst · Chicago, Illinois

I review every flight in VelociDrone before I touch the field. The simulator is honest in a way the real air isn't — it tells you exactly where your inputs are sloppy. The field just crashes you.

— Theo Okafor, Chicago FPV, VelociDrone instructor

Theo spent three years as a VelociDrone instructor before he ever entered a MultiGP race. Now he runs the Chicago chapter's simulator training program, which has produced four pilots who qualified for regional championships in their first competitive season. He posts weekly DVR breakdowns on the forum — frame-by-frame analysis with timestamps, input overlays, and notes on what he'd do differently.
