Hmm.... tempted by the 10km run. Be a good chance to test my new helical.

Hope I can make this one. Got a
fair bit of weekend work coming up but I've stuck this in the diary and will do my best.

Can I put you down then provisionally?

FPV pylon racing  :P

(Nothing too serious. Just need 2 objects on ground to use as markers Pylons.) And figure who can fly with who...

Due to distance, put me down as a provisional depending on weather forecast. :) if it ok if I bring another FPVer who isn't part of these forums?

Yes mate. Hope to make this one and come along on this 10km convoy :)

If anyone is interested in doing Christmas Common return (from Great Haseley, or the other way around wind permitting) which is a 10km flight and County to County please let me know so I can help you prep. I'm keen to do that flight with someone tandem. Who's in? I'm on DL UHF and 2.4 video.

Whilst I look forward to flying passenger on a 10km again, perhaps it would be useful to mark out routes for a safe short-distance runs.  Those of 3-5km where we have good landmarks to use, and safe areas to ditch/retrieve (just in case).  Would be cool to get some personal bests in a nice safe environment where we know where we should be - and have someone to correct us.

Or just have a few people shouting different directions - as in your 10km video :D

[Brucey]

Good idea, but the routes will depend on the wind direction on the day.
I'll bring my gps tracker for anyone that wants to borrow it on the day.

I may be scuppered.

Just found out I have a barcs trade fair I am selling at the next day in Leicester.  Not sure the wife will appreciate me being gone both days!

I will do my best -but not guarantee  :(

Great idea and one we've had before. Not sure if it was managed at the last meet. There's plenty of space to the East and North of the field which is then also away from the village. I do like the idea of a good old fashioned race though.

How about quadcopter lifting competitions, not in terms of weight but in terms of the ability to snag an object and carry it mack. CurryKitten mentioned this last time and I did a quick test out on my local playing field. Its harder than it looks especially with a single cord dangling from the bottom.

Hey Badlands

It's on the Saturday, but we always reserve the Sunday in case the Sarurday weather is bad. No sleep overs due to cold, but there is space in the club house.

Not sure how many (if any) would stay for a double dose on the Sunday.

Either way, it would be great to have you along!

Hi Guys!

I just found this in one of my boxes and I think someone might have loaned it to me at MD4, but I just can't remember who.

Is this yours? Let me know and I'll post it or bring to MD5.
