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

[Staib]

Oops - somehow missed this yesterday...

But yeah, BBQ plans sound epic!  So count me in Richard.

Finally bought a GoPro3 so will be trying to hang that under the Phantom to see if I can get some decent shots... blades are balanced and fingers crossed.

I plan to make a checklist tomorrow so I don't turn up without batteries or Tx... or some other critical part!

It has happened before  :-[

Cheers,
Nick

What time can we/should we turn up? I'm driving up from SW London, but I bet I wake up early...  :D

[krikey]

I'm aiming to get there by around 8:30am, presuming Richard is up and about :)

[Randall]

8:30 wow keen bean ! I will turn up early ish then,

[DaveyLC]

I'm lazy ill be there about 1130 lol

[CurryKitten]

I'll be there early as well. Beat the traffic and just because I can't wait !!

[Randall]

I'm lazy ill be there about 1130 lol

Looking at the weather reports it starts getting really windy around lunch time

[Ratty]

Ill be there, don't know what time, and doubt ill eat but ill be there.  ;D

[DaveyLC]

We car sharing again rat?

[krikey]

Wind gusts (according to Metoffice) up to 24mph for most of the day. That should be fine for the bigger planes and craft with stabilisation but it will make for some interesting flying for smaller craft I'll wager.

I was flying my Skywalker in 24 winds the other day and its amazing how much crabbing you have to do to get to where you want to go.

[Staib]

I'm not sure my EasyStar can cope with that sort of wind - I know I can't  :-X

Never mind, still looking forward to a day out of London's electro-smog...

[Randall]

I have flown my easystar2 in 20mph winds and it was horid, handles like a bag of £r@p and flexed all over the place, even the tbs discovery does not really like it. Trex600 however loves it :D

Guys, as to the weather there seems to be conflicting reports then. This is a snippet from the 10 Day forecast, something I live my life by :)



If this one is off and the 28mph one is in, I am happy to move the day to Sunday, or do both days as we please. As to food and set up etc. I'll do that on the day that the bulk of people agree to come.

I would say let's stick with Saturday, then if it's crap, we take it minute by minute and decide then and there if we continue on Sunday.

I dunno about the weather, you guys have been here longer than me :)

[Flyboysee]

Guys, on the catering side I don't want to be caught pants down with either too much or too little food. So whether you've said so in the thread or not, please send me a PM with the following subject line. BBQ: Yes / no.

If you want to discuss anything else pls send a separate PM. This way I can place my orders and have exact numbers by looking at the various PM headers, without having to open them. My orders for food have to be in by 2pm on Thursday (tomorrow).

Thanks!
