Title: Mad Dogs? What's it all about then...?
Post by: Flyboysee on April 02, 2015, 06:52:39 PM
It doesn't matter what the weather throws at us we always have a blast of note!

Thanks to everyone who came and made this one of the best MAD DOGS ever!

The summer meet is in final planning and will be announced soon. It will be a two day camping weekend with the usual antics, night flying, time trials and Mini Quad racing!

Here are some sights and sounds from the past weekend's Spring (yeah right mo fo!!!) meet.

DaveyLC and Ratty were missed!

Great montage Rich. Captured the spirit of the day quite well I feel, despite the windy conditions. And amazing that so many people turned up despite the weather.

Thanks again.

The hard part was getting it back! Got to the farm and Mr farmer was like, 'Why are you flying over my land with a camera' etc. We then discovered he's on the Parish Council and he invited us in to collect it - almost mint and got all three camera's back.

Not too bad damage - just a bit of Gorilla glue and I flew it today, was perfect!

Great vid Rich, was there no footage of your last flight or was it the onboard footage would make everyone seasick?

The EDF will return...

Nice video Rich - the Mule blowing away was quite an epic story with your home arrow literally going around in circles - I was sure we'd make it back until your lipo starting reporting 12.xv !  On the plus side my fitbug reported 12000+ steps for me mainly due to our nice extended wander to find the EZ :)

I was buzzing around with my 350QX a few times but unfortunately when I tested the Discovery early on the gains were to high for the wind and it looked like an accident waiting to happen so I decided againsed wrecking a brand new Quad !

Got some FPV stuff on my 250 last night and had a quick hover in the dark and will definitely get the Bixler going for the Summer as I've got all the bits just need to stick it together.
