Think everyone agreed the meet on Sun was good, although the weather gods were not so kind to us.

I few others have expressed an interest, who couldnt make the first one, so to get a date in everyones diary..

yo, jumpy!! you've gotten confused with out ramblings somewhere along the line!! I dont live in Perth!! I'm in montrose and the old airfiels is my local flying spot in montrose!!!!

[electrotor]

As I am sure Rudeboy can confirm, the old Montrose Aerodrome is now an industrial estate (with a good air museum though). There are also playing fields used extensively by the public and to cap it all Montrose Aeromodellers fly there too. Probably not a good site for an FPV meet.

[Rudeboy]

na it wouldnt be the best but there is an area I go right along the far end at kinnaber where my video from the other day was that would be OK, I just need to speak with the the land owner!! but another thing being I'm on holiday on may 12th!!!.

[Jumpy07]

Ok.. moved to 19th May... Rudeboy.. might not be able to make it..

Suggestions for venue ?

[FPVSimon]

Montrose? Or how about Carterthun hill forts.  If you look on Google Earth, the carpark is at 56 47.040N 2 44.055W.  I've only been up there once but the eastern fort was quiet.  The walkers were all up the west fort.

There is also the Airlie Monument at 56 44.360N 3 1.483W although this is a bit of a climb from the road and I'm not sure of parking.

Possible location.. Stirling for the castle or monument?

[Topgun Scotland]

I'll definately be up for a meet at any location! Stirling has alot of interesting landmarks to see from the air, dont make any mistakes if you're flying West though as the safari park is there lol dont think the lions would be pleased haha  :laugh:

Not looking encouraging for weather at the mo

[FPVSimon]

I didn't realise that long range forecasting was that accurate ;)
