Chance "FreeFall" Hartman Joins Team Futaba
Another day, another skilled FPV racer signing. That seems to be the way things work at Futaba these days. Not only have talented racers and pilots such as Johnny "JohnnyFPV" Schaer, Nick "Wild Willy" Willard, and Paul "Nurk" Nurkkala joined the ranks of Team Futaba, but now Chance "FreeFall" Hartman has been added to that lineup as well.
With new FPV pilots appearing on the scene almost daily, it's amazing to find out about their backgrounds and what has gotten them into the R/C game. At only 14 years old, Chance is a relative newcomer to the hobby as a whole.
In that short time, he's managed to make quite a name for himself, winning various FPV racing competitions throughout Kansas.
From Futaba:
This Colorado native has been active in the RC world for less than two years, but his tireless dedication has really paid off. “I regularly go practice at local events to achieve more consistent, faster races and test my skills against some of the fastest pilots in Colorado and around the country,” said Chance.
That dedication is backed by Chance’s passion for the hobby. After his first FPV flight, Chance said, “…it was the best experience of my life. I was 20 feet off the ground and I felt like a bird.”
He brings a record of wins at the Kansas Summer State Games, the KCFPV Summer Series and many other tough races, and Chance is excited to go further with Team Futaba. “I have always believed your radios were the gold standard in RC and look forward to growing with Futaba in the drone racing world.”
