Well the long range forecast is saying that saturday is looking great for some FPV so far.
A few FPV'ers and I are planning on attacking Steetly Quarry near to Doncaster for some FPV carnage. The place is pretty epic and has some awesome scenery. I had a play with the quadcopter last year and all I can say is WOW. There is a BIG bridge over the River Don and I plan on flying under, over and probably into this on Saturday with the Bixler. I will be taking the Hex for a play to.
Feel free to come along if you are local to Doncaster. IT WILL BE FUN!!!
Here is the video from last year to give you a taste.

The late afternoon will be good for me though so can come and find you all.
Working till 5am .. Ouch
I am easy for either.
Can we make the decision tomorrow night?
