Drone clubs and FPV groups in New York
6 drone-specific MultiGP chapter records, plus 143 AMA club and field leads. Search the map, open the original source, and confirm current activity before you travel.
What the records prove
Drone-specific chapters first. Broader model-aviation leads second.
MultiGP chapter records are the clearest FPV community signal in New York. AMA records can lead to experienced pilots and established fields, but many serve fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and multirotors together. We keep those labels separate instead of calling every record a drone club.

Before you show up
Turn a directory lead into a real plan.
A source record does not prove that a chapter is active today or that a field permits your aircraft. Confirm the people, place, and flight rules separately.
1. Contact
Open the network link and confirm the current calendar, discipline, dues, and meeting point.
2. Locate
Ask for the exact field or event address. A chapter coordinate may represent a community, not a venue.
3. Preflight
Check airspace, land permission, local rules, weather, NOTAMs, and current site restrictions.
