It is a dog friendly place Davey so no probs there, provided of course he's not an American Pitbull with a taste for other puppy's. It goes without saying you'll need to bring a poop scoop.

[DaveyLC]

he's a JUG and he's soft as hell :)

Don't worry I have plenty of turd bags :D

Sorry I'm going to miss the Maddog this year. Sounds like its going to be Good! Especially if the weather is like this.

Anyway have a good un!

I have another idea for a competition on the day and have ordered 10m (30ft) of white polpropylene 50mm wide tape......

No not some odd S&M bondage session!!!!!

I thought we could use this to:

a) mark out a basic landing strip and practice landing cross wind etc. (we always tend to land into wind so it makes sense to practice other environments)

b) mark out boxes and land as close as possible to the centre of the box

c) Tape up any pilot who gets on my nerves ;)

d) bomb drop target?

e) impromptu aircraft rescuing device from "Jims tree" or "daves bush" (ooer).

any other ideas

What prize do I win if I put the wing in the middle of the box like a lawn dart? :D

Nice idea! Speaking about Bondage, could you order jez a lil more for me :)

Sounds like a nice idea!

Use the tape for a limbo contest (using landing gear on the ground means disqualification)

Hi Guys!

I'm getting pretty excited about the meet! I did a little header if anyone wants to use it as an intro for videos coming out of the meet.

Anyone else wanna try something?

Download in HD, or I can send via Dropbox

Mad Dogs??!

Glad you asked Nick, CK and I were discussing this.

Mad Dogs 1 was held in Midwinter and it was awful cold, something terrible! Mad Dogs and Englishmen (the song by Noel Coward) refers to 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen' going out in the mid day sun. Our little adventure was the extreme opposite, so a bit of a negative entendre if you will. While I'm British, I'm not an Englishman, so there's that... and any other meaning anyone else wants to attach to it to mythologise the story, you're welcome :)

The name just stuck from that.

I like it, and if there's anything in a name, then we should see people pushing their boundaries with their FPV. Harder! Better! Faster! Stronger!

Cool - that's a great story and pedigree... (for a mad dog)  :D

I was guessing too that that that was what the Morse code was spelling  :+

Meanwhile I'd better start practicing doing things harder, better, faster, stronger!

Thanks for that Dbox link - nice one.

Cheers,
Nick
