Title: Flying at the top secret nuclear lookout bunker!!!
Post by: Teamftp on February 19, 2013, 11:45:39 AM
Well my day could not have turned out much better!!

Dropped the darling wife n kids off at the dragon in laws and am now sat waiting on top of a Cold War lookout post / bunker for ROVguy and Marklincs to turn up for a spot of FPV.

If anyone else is around feel free to join us!!!

There is very little wind and you can see for miles, yipeee!

Don't tell the Russians but it is in Badsworth, West Yorkshire.

Video is on its way. Just encoding etc etc....

Tip of the day: Do not fly below your horizon line with the plane 1ft off the deck. Loss of RC 2.4ghz signal and splat!!! Not fair!!!

Duct tape is like the "Force" (from Star Wars)It has a dark side, a light side and it holds the universe together.
