ScrollEarth and Sky View is a community drone league and pilot development program rooted in Tompkins County, New York. Show up. Fly. Get better. Open to all skill levels.
Show up, bring your drone, fly the course, get better. From a DJI Neo to a Mavic 4 Pro — all equipment welcome. No experience required. Just curiosity and a charged battery.
Timed obstacle courses. Badge tiers. A real leaderboard. A real community. From 4 traffic cones at a school field to Finger Lakes gorge expeditions — the course gets harder as you do.
Skill progression you can see and prove. Citizen science that matters. Instructional technology that works in the real world. Graduates become instructors. The community teaches itself.
Think pickup ultimate frisbee — but with drones. Show up, fly, compete, improve. All skill levels. Bring your own drone.
Manual flying with controller or FPV goggles. Timed obstacle courses starting with 4 traffic cones. Reflexes, precision, skill. This is where it starts.
Plan the mission. Drone flies itself. KMZ waypoint strategy and autonomous path planning. Where coders become pilots. Launching when the community is ready.
Earth and Sky View International — Tompkins County vs a sister city. Livestreamed. Both communities watching. A long term goal worth naming now.
