Bio
Arvin has been fascinated by flight since childhood, and discovering drones allowed him to take control of that passion. His FPV journey started with small toy drones, where he mounted cameras to experience the thrill of flight from a first-person perspective. About a year later, he got his first real FPV drone, marking a turning point.
His first official race was at DCS Friedrichshafen 2021 at age 11, where another pilot generously gifted him a 5-inch drone - an experience that solidified his commitment to the sport. Since then, he has competed in every German racing season and established himself as a key part of the community, becoming German Champion in 2024. For Arvin, FPV racing is all about having a good time with friends. The shared passion, support, and international friendships within the sport make every event special.
Arvin competed in FAI Drone Racing World Cup competitions throughout 2023 and 2024, going on to his first FAI World Drone Racing Championships in Korea in 2023, where he where he raced against top international pilots. This event and the MultiGP Championships not only tested his skills but also connected him with inspiring competitors from all over the world.
Arvin’s goal is simple: enjoy the sport, keep improving, and have fun racing with great people. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of his parents and sponsors, who believed in Arvin’s passion and invested in his growth.
His advice to aspiring pilots? Just start - the FPV community is welcoming, and the experience of flying is unlike anything else.
Other activities
Arvin is a 9th-grade student at Schmuttertal Gymnasium in Diedorf, where he started a drone class to teach fellow students the basics of FPV flying. Outside of racing, he enjoys playing the piano and spending time with family and friends.
