Time for Mad Dogs 3! MEET FULL, ALL PLACES FILLED!

[krikey]

The guys "up north" have put together a Justin.tv link http://www.fpvhub.com/index.php/topic,12495.msg106719.html#new for their meet today from 9:00am. I may be tuning in later and also to see how the feed turns out.

Well done guys.

We'll have the projector and try to set up a feed from some of the flyers. It would be good to have an audio feed too for chat etc. iPhones with Apple default earbuds/mic are great for recording audio. Now I wonder if there's a head band for an iPhone :)

Does the new GoPro Hero 3 transmit video over WiFi?

[Ratty]

Gopro 3 transmits very laggy live feed over wifi, but not very far and not while recording.

So to work this out we need to put everyone in a category. So far we've got the following:

1. 5.8 vid + [anything but 2.4rc] - uhf/35/72 - 4 planes/people
2. 5.8 vid + 2.4 rc - 2 planes/people
3. 2.4 vid + [anything but 2.4rc] uhf/35/72 - 2 planes/people

So the categories that can fly together are 1+2 and 1+3.

Some additional limitations in terms of channel numbers and it's a bit confusing as I've counted some people twice as they have multiple entries in the spreadsheet. But as we get it filled out I'll put together a matrix on the spreadsheet.

Do we know that DL and EzUHF work well together?

[DaveyLC]

4 people can fly on immersion 5.8 the channel spacing allows for it if you use  say 1,3,5 and 7. The NexWave rx's are sensitive enough .

Me and ratty regularly fly together and were both on 5.8 and EzUHF

[Ratty]

EZ and DL work fine together. According to Sander anyway. There is a vid of 5 Zephs flying together, 4 on EZ and 1 on DL.

The key to multiple planes in the air is to have good ground separation. Its when the plane on the floor is close to someones VRx that there will be most probs.

Also power outputs, if someone is flying with 200mw and someone else turns on a 600mw on the floor they will get swamped.

thanks Krikey for your answer to my last post, but what I was after was what to put in the spreadsheet thats asking what frequency's (Video & Radio) that covers my gear, as I said it's Fatshark Vtx & Spectrum 2.4 radio.

Fatshark is immersion channels, same thing. So for you it's IRC 5.8 and 2.4 Spectrum

[Charliewalker]

thats great, cheers for that.

Hear Ye Hear Ye Hear Ye!

I have now been given the official go ahead today from the Parish Council that Mad Dogs is once again welcome in Great Haseley. This is to say the venue is booked and free of cricket on Saturday 1st June and Sunday the 2nd as a back up against bad weather, or for anyone who wants a double dose of FPV good times!

Please book your spot by paying £10 into my Paypal account which is [email protected]
This money is handed directly over to the Parish Council for the use of the facilities for the day at £10 per flyer on the day. Family, children and friends don't pay anything. If for any reason due to weather etc. it is cancelled all monies received will be reimbursed.

The reason I'm asking for money upfront to book is to get an accurate number of pilots coming. We may have to cap the amount of pilots on the day, or organise ourselves with slots to avoid frequency clashes. Last time we had 10 flyers and it was 'pretty comfortable' and everyone got a couple of flights in. Your suggestions please!

As to food I will put a budget together based on the number of confirmed people (and please let me know if you're bringing partners, children etc and how many).

Most gave the thumbs up for South African Boerewors Rolls, Salad and Beer for lunch, together with a constant stream of mineral water, tea, coffee and biscuits throughout the day. I'll make sure there are ample croissants, ham, bacon, cheese etc for a quick brekkie before flying.

For those interested in coming the night before or staying late on the day, I'll have my Bixler properly set up and would be happy to take you on a Night Flight FlyBoySee style :)

Anyone wanting to book my couch, or garden for camping please let me know. Anyone coming from over 100 miles away I'll only be too glad to pay your £10 and lunch.

Let's make this the best Mad Dogs ever!

(PS: I have provisionally booked the same venue for the 7 September for our Summer Meet.)
