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

[Flyboysee]

Hi All!

Do you also think it's about time? Spring is about to spring and with that we'll have better, more predictable weather, blossoms in bloom and sunshine :)

The only decisions this time around is do we have it in Great Haseley, South Oxfordshire or in The New Forest, Hampshire and the most important question of all, when?

What say the usual suspects, members of the inner sanctum and anyone interested in meeting fellow addicts and a great day's FPV?

Richard

Sounds good, I'm always always up for a fly with everyone.

Location is a tricky one.  The New Forest has a more varied landscape, not to mention ponies, and people on bikes to harass.  But last time we went there in decent numbers we also got thrown out.

Great Haseley - has the potential to have power for recharging, a place to get out of the cold (if it's cold), and a flushing toilet !

You've taken the long drive down to NF the last few times, so I do feel you're owed the luxury of wandering a few hundred metres to fly.  Up to you !

The when is potentially even harder isn't it - we're all living day-by-day looking at the forecast and mainly hoping it's not going to be as bad as they say.  As soon as we think we have relatively predictable weather, then lets get a date in the diary.

OK CK, you've pulled my arm, Gt Haseley it is :) I'll throw the bones on the weather once everyone has given some input. Going by history, we have managed to call some good days!

This time I'll do a horse free barbi!

It's about 137 miles for me Rich, and about 2Hrs 35
Not too bad, it'll be worth coming for the Horse meat burgers

[dogzilla]

59 miles for me so definitely doable.

I'm on dragon link and 5.8 immersion.

[krikey]

I'm up for this too.

2.4 for control
5.8 for VTx immersionRC

[CurryKitten]

I should add on control - 2.4Ghz, Video 5.8Ghz... depending on what I bring Immersion or HobbyKing or both

Simon I have a very comfy couch in front of a fireplace with your name on it.
