West-sussex, near Ditchling. but the problem with around Ditchling is there is a military/private plane flight zone. 10 meter plane vs easystar plane...no thank you. ha

Wow, your a 5 min drive from me. If your near Ditchling, you must know Downlands Community School right? Well that's where I go. Anyway I've found you can pick any field and as long as no one is around you're fine. Although I'm lucky enough to have a 4-acre field at the bottom of my garden, which is fine for FPV. Then another one a 1 min walk away which is about 10 acres.

But yeah, you can fly pretty much anywhere around here for FPV.

Well you could pop round 'ere on Saturday/Sunday if you wanted some help etc...

The goggles are all ordered. I ordered them from the actual suppliers which saved me £45 from buying them here. But I spent about 4 hours on the internet to get that lol. But that price even includes 3-4 day DHL delivery from China!

Felix, same here. I thought the closest bit of FPV civilisation was Owen the Stealthwing man over in Portsmouth.

We need a mini meet :)
