Mad Dogs 5 30th November Booked!

Why not make the cricket strip the takeoff and landing .. must land on the strip (i.e. runway)

It's all fenced off to protect the grass Steve - else it would have been quite useful.  I think it would be our last meet there if we started marching all over the "good bit".  Krikey is bringing his roll of tape to pin on the ground which is pretty visible form the air

I think the local club would go nuts if we tore it up :D plus its enclosed in a mesh fence when its not in use which would actually make it quite interesting.. at least the mesh would catch the bits of foam :D

Jinx! :D

Ah right makes sense

Just maidened my new wing yesterday and it's flying beautifully. Not yet FPV'ed but I'm looking forward to putting it through it's paces at mad dogs! Haven't even opened up the taps yet but at half throttle it's rather zippy. Only problem is getting it in my car. It's about 3 inches too big.....
