Don Valley Model Flying Club - 2 Day open event.

[_tj_]

Just to let anyone local to Doncaster / Carcroft area.

We are having a 2 day open weekend.

If anyone can make it.

Would be good to see some fpv people there.
It took me long enough to get them to allow fpv flying, even on a non open day event.

Hey Liam.

Had a feeling it was you.
It's took me quite sometime to get it allowed.

To be honest my autopilot is a better pilot than some of them. (Safety wise)

Your have to pop down sometime.

There's a few of us with helis now.

I'll have to come and have an fpv fly with you sometime.

Just trying to put my skyWalker together in time for weekend lol

i think my account got removed from the don vallley forum tg im not sure why though.
haha...im sure they would shoot you for saying that.
ill pop down sometime if i could come as a guest?
i no longer fly helis flying helis there was a nightmare! even though i had my certificates i was made to fly circuits before i was allowed to join!
yeh that woud be cool!

Sounds like a typical old man's bmfa club there chaps, good on ya for trying to drag them into the 21st century!!!

@flyn

It definitely is one of those clubs.
Nothing new allowed, that they have no idea about.

But I keep trying till I get things allowed, even if I have to prove it the hard way lol.

One excuse was it is dangerous, told them half the pilots are more dangerous but they still fly.

Told them cars are dangerous, but people still get up and drive them everyday. and so on etc.

Yep, agree with the heli's.
So I taught myself to fly them, and now have a collection of heli's.

so far,
I have a the Feiyu-Tech FY-41AP going in. (just put it in the bixler 2 (not even space though) last night thinking the skywalker wouldn't be here in time.)
650tvl camera
immersion vtx

Got a number of motors, but not decided on one yet lol.

(me and my glue gun would get on a lot better if it spat glue out when i wanted it, and not when I put the thing down for a minute)

On another note feel free to come and join us for some FPV in and around Doncaster.

I am in Armthorpe and there are a good few of us who fly from the pit top there. Your welcome along any time.

We already have a meet on Sunday at Sandtoft so most of us will be popping down to that im afraid. I will however pop along on Saturday for a peek.

21 years ago I learnt to fly at that club when it was on Doncaster airport!!

sorry tj im no sure if i met you at the field before? so not sure who i am looking out for.
Liam

I remember seeing you with heli.

Just ask someone of I don't spot you first.
Look out for the skyWalker (hopefully it will be finished)
And a blue/silver edge 540.
And a few helis if I can fit them all in car lol.

But looking forward to flying fpv with other fpvers.
Rather than myself.

Amazing how many said it looks great after looking through the goggles.

Skywalker maidened.

Needs some slight adjustment to the trims.
Apparently the fy-41ap doesn't like it trimmed via tx.

Does anyone know different?

Sorry for going off topic
:-)

[Teamftp]

I am coming down tmoz so will give you some good pointers. For a start trim it up in the air and land it. Once you have done this check where the surfaces are. 0 the trims and adjust the pushrods so that it matches where you had it trimmed to.

Hi tj it's jonny here met at bills funeral and now I'm a fpver lol sold helis. Would of come alone to don valley but working till 2 but I'm up on pit top afterwards if u fancy popping up

Hey Jonny

No more getting helis stuck on ceiling at nats for you then lol

I'd  love to but I'll be there till the end Saturday and Sunday.
Think it'll be a late one with people camping.

Hopefully next weekend if anyone going.
Weather permitting of course.

[_tj_]

Got in an hour an half ago.

Thanks Simon and Liam for coming along.
Good to see you there.

:-)

[Teamftp]

No worries at all. Was great to pop down to my old club. It was also good to show that FPV does not kill everyone.

I got some nice video from the quick flight I got in so will edit it up and post it on here in the next couple of days.

THANKS FOR THE INVITE!!
