Not sure if I'll be home or not but if I'm home and someone's willing to pick me up at the nearest train station then I'll be up for it, I'll let you's know nearer the time.

No problem. Keep me posted.

Hi all,

I've been loitering around the multicopter forum and seen that there was going to be an fpv meet in Scotland. I've never tried fpv, but have had a hankering to try. This would be an excellent chance for me to see what equipment is worth getting and more importantly, whats not!
I'll be coming from Fife on the east coast, so if anyone is going from around there, or can get themselves to Kirkcaldy station, I'll be glad to give them a lift for an equal share in petrol costs. I wont be bringing anything to fly with me, so lots of space available in the back for any airframes that they want to bring. If anyone is interested, post here, or contact me directly at
[email protected]

See you all there.

Tony

Welcome along.

[Skipper Billy]

Hi Tony - ditto - you would be very welcome to come and have a poke round my airframes and electronics etc. I have goggles and screen so you can see how things work - I also have antenna tracking and the whole system is wireless which is quite unusual.

[Tony Campbell]

Sounds good, thanks guys. Had the ok to take day off work (I normally work Sundays), so, weather permitting for Dukes Pass area, I'll be there. And yeah, as I said, If the person going from Aberdeen can get to Kirkcaldy station, bringing them along, wont be an issue (not sure what the train situation is like early Sunday mornings tho). Aberdeen is a bit far North for a detour from where I am. I'd be going via Dunfermline, Alloa direction.

[Jumpy07]

Weather still looking hit and miss for Sunday...  this is what it looks like at the moment. Middle part of the day does not look too bad.. but think we need a check on Fri for go/no go

[Tony Campbell]

Hmmm, just checked Metcheck. Its generally spot on for my local area, and checking out FK8 postcode shows snow and high winds all day Sunday for Dukes pass. But, like Jumpy says, best to recheck on Friday........fingers crossed!!!!

Thought it might be worth just checking what Frequencies and gear everybody will be using... ?

I will have two Multi FPV frames:

Video: 5.8Ghz Video (5.740Ghz ImmersonRC Long Range)
Control: one with OpenLRS 100mw on 459Mhz and one with FrSky 80mw 2.4Ghz.

Weather still looks hit and miss and is changing by the hour... at the moment it looks dry, cold 5c,and cloudy with 10mph NNE winds.

[Rudeboy]

Hey dude I'm still a maybe for this, but in all honesty its looking unlikely!!

[Iceman]

Tut Tut guys...trying to use a weather forecast in Scotland  :scottish:

At best you might get an inkling 24 hrs before the meet.

In the last week. Iv'e seen Geese, frozen lochs, 12 deg and sun, bees, 1 butterfly, couple of midge, a big hairy caterpillar on the heather, snowbound roads, a blizzard and 3" snow at sea level. And Prince Charlie in close proximity
