Yeh and look at the wind... 5MPH!!! GET IN!!! :D :D
Where in Donny do you fly from.
I'm fully booked all weekend though, club 2 day open event.
Quote from: TeamFTP
This Sunday get ready!!
It is officially going to be SCORCHIO :o :o So make sure you have your suncream and plenty of water other wise you will die.... probably!!
We are going to meet at the hallowed Turf Fields DN17 4BP. The field is just to the South of the Post Code dead in the middle of the link on Google Maps below.
MAP
Feel free to pop along for another day of great FPV.
PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE ON THE GRASS, there is plenty of parking at the side in the rough.
I am going to get there for about lunchtime but I am sure some will arrive earlier.
There will be plenty to see and lots of knowledgable people to get advise and tips from if you are new to FPV. It will be well worth the drive.
Lets kick off summer 2013 with a great FPV meet ;D ;D ;D
Simon.
Either the above or from the Pit Top at Armthorpe. Both great places to fly from without the politics that go with club flying. Also fly from DMFC at Tickhill. They have been great with FPV since I popped down last year and showed it to them, saying that not been down this year due to flying at the other places.
Take a look at my YouTube account for where we fly from:

Simon.
Will have a look.
I had to also fly from dmfc when I got mine ay year or so ago.
If you know nidge, I asked him and he ask the committee.
And where fine with it.
He helped me test out what I had at the time.
Amazing how different two clubs 10 miles apart can be so different
Yep I'll be there Sunday. Has it been decided where exactly? Pit top or sandtoft?
Turf Fields DN17 4BP
:laugh: :laugh:
Sorry mate, yep I got it. Just a bit dense today. ;-)
:laugh: :laugh: No worries. See you Sunday. Looking forward to seeing the wing fly!!!!
HEH :laugh:
Look forward to seeing you again ROV hopefully we'll have some better luck this time :D
Yeah will be good to see you too Steve. Just ordered a Bixler which should be here tomorrow all being well. So will have that to fly as well as the wing. Must admit I'm bricking it at the moment. Not flown for a long while and it wasn't very successfully then. Are we just meeting at the site or gonna rendezvous at Si's on the way?
i'll just be going straight there as it's off the M180 for me ... not gonna be any wind this time mate you'll be fine :D
What time you going for mate?
Depends when everyone else is gonna be there, I went for 11am last time . it is going to be a scorcher
I will be there around that sort of time... With the factor 50 and a hat!!! Lol
my mini falcon should be airborn too!!!
Liam
I'll be there with the lost and found bixler :)
Torn between getting the X5 going, and the F16....?
Raptor will be there, and X4 quad :)

X5 :)
Right I'm charged up ready
Also brining the x8 for Simon to look at
Also bringing my Ground station set up for testing
Hehe I lost my bixler a couple of weeks back.
The Cyclops storm decided not to return home lol
I fancy popping along. Moved to northwest a month ago and not found anyone to fly with yet.

you should drop in, bring your kit
its a good laugh and you'll meet a few insane people ;D ;D
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to drop out. Finished assembling the bixler to find the trim weights I had place in the tail had come loose. I won't have time tomorrow (today) to strip it and rebuild and it's a fair way to go for 3 quick flights of my wing. Sorry guys :-(

Without sounding like your Mother!!...

Ah ROVguy just cable tie that shit!! Come on dude, perfect weather for flying and getting some confidence under your belt with some people who can help you get the best out of it in perfect conditions!!
SEE YOU THERE!!! :D
Lol, I will see what I can do guys. Not making any promises. I may be able to get it sorted tomorrow. I've remembered that I've also got to fix my go pro as well, as I knocked the lens back in. I will see if I can make it down in the afternoon.

Chargers on site last time.
See you there
Hi all im new here just started FPV flying, where about near Donny do you fly? I live in scotland but have family in Doncaster, i am down a few times a year. Would be good when i am next down to hookup with some fellow FPVers and bring the toys down with me.
hi ricky,
we usually fly over on the pit top in armthorpe.
although we have had a few meets over towards crowl at the turfields :) a amazing location to fly in! plenty of open space!
Liam
I will be there for 11am, bringing FPVRaptor and F16 to tinker with.
il be brining the falcon prototype wing
450 quad and the trustly bixler!
i have no demoted myself to a dx6i until my new 9xr arrives seen as though the dx7 has sold :(
ooo you gonna be landing out?? lol
haha noooooo! thats marks job!
well i hope not! simons landing out in the tree canopy was the best last time!
Er from what time are we flying?
I will be "landing out" from around 12:00 onwards. You chaps are welcome to get there anytime. Just remember not to park on the grass please.
Working till 5am so could do with a couple hours of sleep.
Owner of the turf field is David Cundall. Fairly sure SteveW met him last time.
Any issues most of you have my number so just give me a buzz.
Yea I think we all met him, I know Mark did - no problem.
I'll be there for 11am
Not sure what time I will be there. Could be any time but more likely after 12

Well I'm here but alone. Hope I got the right spot! Parked on the corner of the field below the Google marker. I'm on a small area of concrete of a field. Hope I don't get shot for trespassing.

It was a great meet, weather was scorchio, but cant complain.
Nice to see the wings and hex flying. the tbs wing was simply brilliant, gotta get me one of those!

Cheers Liam, Next time i am in Donny i will bring my FPV kit down (will be slightly more experienced in fpv by then still perfecting my setup). Will definitely have to hookup with you all in the Donny aria next time i am down. Checked out the vids from that aria looks a very nice site. Hope to see you all at some point in the not to far future
