Good news; I finished my first quad build this morning.

This evening I'll be mostly doing my first quad post crash repair.

At the moment my skill runs out well before my battery life. :-[

I hope you got some video Dave! Is that a NAZA quad or what? Would love to see it. How about you setting a date for the next meet? The invitation is open, but those wanting to take responsibility for a date are slim pickings. Looks like the weather is here to stay.

Cheers!

Better get a wiggle on or those northern boys (& girls) will be having a second meet before we have one!

Quality, not quantity Mr Walker :)

Rich - it's your party, I think you should suggest a date. Are we looking for something "soon" or more summery. Soon then what about May 18th... something a bit more summer-like then June 22nd

I've literally looked at my google calendar and picked ones at random... but at least it's a starting point for discussion

Very nice Dave!

I'll do some head scratching, have a look at the dates for FPV Bounce then get back here with a suggestion.

You guys wanna go for clubhouse, beers and barbie dividing costs, or have no facilities for £0.00? Please let me know your preference.

Richard

Now it's time for Boerewors and Beer! :)

DaveyLC · April 24, 2013, 08:34:22 AM

And some Biltong please ;)

Well can't do beer because of the driving thing - but certainly having the clubhouse is always fantastic with a place to charge lipos and get a coffee.

I just had to google Boerewors a curious looking curly sausage that looks a bit like a very long dog turd... yum :)

DaveyLC · April 24, 2013, 08:57:39 AM

You can always have a light driving beer :)

And, tastes like Heaven! I know an SA shop that does a 'pretty good' boerewors here...

***UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE***
MAD DOGS - SPRING MEET

Hi guys!

Alright, I'm thinking Saturday 1st June 2013. It's officially still spring, so we could do another within three months to get a summer one in as well.

How do you all feel about the date? Again, per my rationale it's close to pay day and a Saturday so if the weather is bad, we always have the option for the Sunday as a back up. That adds a further 50% chance of success.

I was thinking that if we get 8 - 10 people costs would probably be reigned in at about £20 per head. This includes our usual £10 contribution each for the facilities (club house, toilets, charging points, shade, tables, coffee cups, kettle etc.) The remaining £10 will go towards a Continental style beakfast of coffee / tea, croissants etc, and a lunch of ZA stylee 'gebraaide' Boerewors rolls, salad and beer (as well as non alchoholic) and cool drinks / mineral water.

Does that sound like a plan?

For those who are attending, I want to try something new. There's a field up the road (about 900m away line of sight) that I will arrange access to. The idea is to have someone launch your plane from there, while piloting in the goggles from the main field, or the other way around. CK, Krikey and myself have been discussing remote take off's - could be interesting!

PS: It might be nice to have a projector. I will run a long coaxial lead with RCA and adaptors to fit all our receivers so the folks inside (either visitors or pilots with heat stroke) [we should be so lucky!!!] can watch the action from inside the clubhouse. Neil, was that you?

Sounds like a plan to me :D I will most deffo be in attendance this time! And £20 sounds very fair for so much fun!

Jim.
