Yeah the prize for the British round will probably be a lipo some props and a ten pound voucher for greggs.

British round all also be held in a muddy farmer's field somewhere, with the course laid out with a few tatty air gates and soccer cones. Sleeping in tent and cr*pping in a hole in the ground. :D
Regards, Mark.
P.S.
BYOG (Bring your own Genny) to charge your lipos.

Nice one Luke, a proper champ and as for splitting it evenly, that's not right at all

A bit of history ..Luke joined the Webster Flyers www,websterflyers,co.uk 5 years ago when I taught him to fly fixed wing..it was obvious from the start that he had incredible confidence and ability ..he was soon on to helis but then majored on Quads and onto FPV ..he still comes regularly to our flying field and amazes members with his exceptional flying.
Well done Luke

You'd hope they discussed how they planned to deal with prize money beforehand, so everyone knew what they were signing up for, but I'd also like to think the winner was going to get a better cut... for being the blinkin winner.

Like any sport, once you've got some proper form the balance of power can shift to reflect that. So I'm sure he'll see a nice payday in the near future.

Well pleased for him.

For those that haven't seen it, here's the final race.
Well done Luke, you've certainly got a bright future ahead of you!

I think Dominic Clifton was doing the battery changes.so I think he's done a bit more than that and bring ice lollies. ;)

Wow! This is amazing - Luke if you're following this thread mate we're all very proud of you, and I think you need to come on here and take a bow you steely eyed missle man!

Fastest, and most together pilot in the world!

Well done!

Fantastic result for Luke and the whole team. :thumbsup:

Hopefully the media will pick up on this and maybe put a positive spin on the whole drone phenominan.

It looked a superb event done in the Dubai way, good stuff! :D

Hehehe after watching the last race Luke completely schooled the other pilots, they didn't even come close. Fantastic stuff :)

Totally blown away with this. Well done Luke, its always good to have some positive press within our hobby. Although my hobby tends to run at a more sedate (some might say boring) pace :)

Just seen this In the papers... I can't add anything to what already has been said....

Simply awesome and well done... next time I'll carry your bags while wearing a Banni Tshirt..

Only a T-Shirt? at least were some trousers too!

Luke was on bbc news this morning. Good to see some positive press on the 'Drone' subject!
