[Asomaro]

Any idea on dates yet?

Cheers,

Hi Simon, not just yet, but I'm edging to fly... :) Attention all weather fundi's. To date our meets have all been good weathered and we'd like to keep it that way. Anyone wanna call it now?

[DaveyLC]

Looks like the weather is slowly getting better :)

[DaveyLC]

We had ACTUAL SUN today!!

[CurryKitten]

As we're getting a bit closer (hopefully), I thought I'd try and help get some landmarks together... as when myself and krikey were up last week, Richard kept shouting things like "go to the twin trees" and we didn't know what he was on about.  However, thanks to the benefit of people hitting trees and things, some other name references are now available.



So when you are there, you can call out your position like a pro

EDIT: Jims tree now actually pointing at Jims tree !

Bloody hell CK, that's classic! Btw, your arrow for Jim's tree is very close to the final resting place of the Twinstar - it crashed in that horses field where the arrow is, just a little up, maybe 10m. Can it be named, or are we only talking meet incidents?

Also, someone crashed in the lower field with a Couds Fly I'm sure... was it Neil? Jim got it on video, the guys walking back up a hedge line. Where the word 'field is' marks the spot of Dave_B's fatal bipe crash and lest we forget Mark's record for shortest maiden, just to the bottom left of the pitch, which coming to think of it was the scene of the mid air between Davey and Gav :)

Someone please set a bloody date already! :)

Doesn't need to be a meet Rich - hence Krikey's ditch from last week.  Also this "twin tree's" thing you made up... you'd be surprised how many sets of two tree's together there were when we looked around.  Feel free to add more - although it's a bit of a tongue in cheek idea, easy to remember references are very useful - and there are an awful lot of tree's, and borders of fields that would be useful to differentiate when you are trying to describe your position

[3DJIM]

Yes it was Neil, it was the path below the 'google copyright' in pic :) have a vid somewhere will try dig a pic out!

Even wit my lazer eyes pic is to small :)

Edit now it works! :) We will soon have more cross's than the graveyard!

Love it!!! Oddly enough, after speaking to Richard and Wayne I was doing exactly the same thing with Google Earth. As much as its tongue in cheek its also useful to shout things out so a great start!

I'd also add the compass to this map as well so that directions to "heading West towards Jims Tree at 80 metres" actually mean something.

Maybe I'm over thinking things and I wish we recorded some of our attempts in the past to try to "meet up" in mid air as I'm sure they're rather funny

Now all we need is some kind of GPS tech to transmit our coords back to a base station and plot little dots on a screen:)

Yea got a couple of airspace location in my mind that I can use for reference lol.

Multirotor ballet arena ( Aitch will know where that is )
And
Quad Dead zone or plank highspeed avenue
