This is a lifetime opportunity for a collectors with foresight and a sense of adventure,” says Herbert, who is also co-founder of the DCL World Championship for professional quadcopter teams. “At Drone Champions, we aim to bring flying to as many people around the world as possible. And while to date there are only 3 of our Big Drones in the world , everyone can feel what it’s like to fly it inside DCL – The Game.”
