|March/April 2018
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A FRIEND introduces a firefighter who is into drag racing to the YouTube drone racing scene? You get Shaun Taylor, a full-time drone racer from Albuquerque, New Mexico, who has blazed a winning trail around the world. I was able to spend some time with Shaun and got a chance to learn more about his passion for drone racing.— Dan Goldstein

Dan Goldstein: How did you get involved in the RC hobby?
Shaun Taylor: I was introduced to the world of drone racing in the summer of 2015. My buddy Sean Stanford told me about quadcopters and showed me a few videos on YouTube. When I saw a video of quadcopters flying through the forest, I just lost my mind. I did not know exactly what it was all about, but I knew I needed it in my life.
Who are your sponsors?
My primary sponsor is EMAX. I also am sponsored by DR1 Racing, AirVuz, Foxeer, Pulse batteries, and FuriousFPV. I have just signed as the first pilot to bust out of the hobby only scene with DHL.
Do you race in any particular circuits or leagues, and in what races have you placed?

Counting Penguins
Counting penguins is harder than it sounds. With freezing rain, snow, and chilling winds that limit the flight windows for the surveys, it takes scientists using three full days to map the location of 300,000 nesting pairs of Adélie penguins on Antarctica’s Cape Crozier.
