Bio
Schäpper started racing in 2019 after a DCL Race in Liechtenstein, and has participated in 40+ events over the last five years, clocking up some 25 podium finishes.
His first FAI World Drone Racing Championships was in 2019. Aside from holding his title as Swiss champion in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024, his competitions have taken him all around the world on the international circuit. In 2021 he participated in the FAI World Drone Cup in Istanbul and placed 4th in the MultiGP Champs USA. This was followed by a busy 2023, with the FAI World Cup in Aichtal followed by the FAI World Drone Racing Championships in Korea, and a 1st in the Vertical Race, Malaysia.
In 2024 he went from World Cups in Aichtal (4th place) and Paris (1st place) to gain a 16th place at the FAI World Drone Racing Championships in China and in 2025 he has already achieved a 9th place at the World Cup in Riyadh.
