Winter FPV Meet - Mad Dogs and Englishmen

[Flyboysee]

Hi Guys!

I thought I'd also just mention how your money was spent.

Very simple accounting.

Outgoings:
Tea, Coffee, Milk, Bikkies, Beer (though no one drank any beer, I'm slowly working through them!) £32
Paid to Venue £90

Total £122

Money in:
Your contributions £100 (Thanks to Dave_B for playing George Osbourne)

Since most of you came from far, spent on gas and had to wake up very early, I consider the deficit of £22 a bargain :)

Thanks again for an awesome day!

Hi Guys!

Just thinking about this 'Video of the Month' competition. The rules say that the video must have been made on or after the 1st December. That means footage from the meet can be used. I'm thinking about how nice it would be to do a compilation video from 'Mad Dogs' and enter it. I'd be happy to do the editing.

If you're keen and would like to be in it please PM me your email address and I will invite you to a Dropbox folder. You then edit out your best clips (short one's of great action, awesome footage etc) with a lead in to the action of about 3 seconds, as well as a lead out time of same (to make editing my side quick and easy). Render them in 1080p / 720p for Go Pro, 720p for #16 and best you can for flight cam and upload your named clips.

You could still enter full videos to the competition in your own name.

This entry will be made as a collective (aka not Flyboysee) but rather Mad Dogs Meet. I will make sure every pilot is credited etc etc.

What do you guys think?

Great idea, I will let you have any video that might be worth including.  By the way I like you video edits, looking forward to the compilation.

well my quadcopter is airworthy again  -  1 prop and 1 replacement arm  :)  Oh and re sticking the Naza down again with fresh double sided foam.

Had a test fly around the garden and it was fine.

Just need to check the GPS receiver in an open space.  Was not getting green flashing lights (sat lock) in the garden so will try tomorrow in an open space.  Too many trees around my back garden.   Fingers crossed anyway.

Replacement camera gibmal plate is cut out n drilled n filed to shape ready to fit, from an off cut of G10.  Quad should be good as new in a bit.

[Gav]

Woo hoo I can sleep easy tonight.  All fixed up again, it's as if nothing happened.  Bar a few mud splats.



Will take it to the office in Shaftesbury tomorrow and try out the gps en route somewhere.  Fingers crossed :D

[DaveyLC]

You got yours sorted just as I smash mine up  :D

[Gav]

Oh bummer!!  How did you manage that?   mid air???  :'(    Doesn't look to bad though?


ps GPS seems to be working ok and I get the green flashing light - happy days!

[DaveyLC]

It was a "Return To House" issue.. i.e. the Quad returned to the roof of the house and hit the TV ariel  :laugh:

Hey Skyrob

Welcome aboard, we'll definitely be doing another Oxon / Hants meet soon enough. Where are you based? Anywhere near Oxford I'd be happy to help out.

I've had some crashes, so I'm rebuilding my gear into new planes. Got a Penguin and Bixler2 waiting on transplants :)
