Not mine, but I think you have an SMA to RP-SMA adapter I think I lent you for you Tri from last time ?

Oops, no malice intended...

[CurryKitten]

haha, not to worry.  Just checking to see if it is indeed attached to the VTX on your Tri - if so, use it for as long as you need it

Any other fun ideas?

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...

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.

I'll be happy to organise it if that is acceptable to FlyBoysee..?

I'm well up for a race around some obstacles :D

[hite]

LOL..a start line and a finish... (?)

[CurryKitten]

krikey and myself did have a circuit planned out where the emphasis was going inbetween a few obstacles and getting down really low.  It was fantastic.. but for the fact that we realised it went over where everyone parks up, and that probably wasn't such a great idea.  I think it can be made safe with a few tweaks though - I'll try and have a quite draw on google maps later with a suggested route

[DaveyLC]

We could all take it in turn to stand in the field and be the objects? :D  :P

[DaveyLC]

Or does anyone fancy chipping in for some large Helium balloons? Popping those would be a good challenge :)

Great Stuff, please do it if you're keen. Have a chat with Wayne (CurryKitten) about a possible route. I can get some pipe lagging (like the american woggles, but grey) for markers. Might be an idea to have those as pylons but they'll need to be installed on a pole or the like...? Also, would they be visible with CCD cameras? Maybe that and baloons?

Great Ideas!

Would be great having a lot of aircraft ( planes and copters even) hurtling round a course at the same time. Though I wouldnt enter anything your too fond of :o. If the course is too complicated I will get lost though  :laugh:

Can we have a gentleman's agreement first though please :) if you enter the race and your 'sh*t-gets-broke' no crying about it?  :-*

Dave always hits something/someone whether we are racing or not :D

Here's my proposed route, it's pretty simple just a little circuit where we use the edge of the main field as markers and a few trees/bushes as markers to go between.
