Morning!

In case you don't know where it is use this post code to get you to the village of Great Haseley OX44 7JR and then look for the Playing Fields behind the church.



I'm not really sure who's coming and who's not, so anybody wants to come just pitch up - there have been a few people who have dropped out, so should be spaces to fly comfortably for one or two more.

Thanks for organising another awesome day Rich! Sorry I left so early :)

[Brucey]

Great day rich. Thanks for organising it. Wish I could of stayed longer.
Question is.... when's the next one ;D

[dogzilla]

Yeah was a great day. Everyone seemed to be having very eventful and interesting flights including a few crashes and even an upside down landing!

Great to see so many planes in the air doing laps around the field. Looking forward to seeing everyone's footage.

[Coyote]

Look forward to seeing the vids, glad it all came together after the first set back

Awesome flying - gotta be the best meet in terms of getting so many people up all flying.

Quick preview of an incident... this was 100% iPeels fault, and he will be hearing from my legal team in due course ;)

Menace to society

We both managed to fly on from this incident for another 10 minutes before landing (he made a big prop slice on my Bixlers nose).  Despite surviving this, we then both managed to crash without being near each other on a subsequent flight when my radio ran out of battery and my Bix performed a text book return to tree, and he had a lipo partially fall out and take his Falcon down

[dogzilla]

Amazing you both recovered and carried on flying. Like the ground station audio recording, gonna get a microphone for my DVR I think it's nice to give the flying some context!

Vid is uploading to youtube I'm going to bed....

I have no idea where you were! We must have been flying one above another for some time, according to my DVR footage:

FPV insanity - Mad Dogs 6

9:00 is where it happens, I thought I got torque roll by having a Bixler stuck on my prop, turns out by your video I properly clunked you:

Also, from about 7:30 the sheer madness ensues, All of us up in the air and a near miss with the Tri just before some ridiculously fast wing shoots overhead!

Looks like a great fun day  :)

If anyone on the day missed the results of the speed contest -



So Brucey retains his title as speed king, but was pushed very closely my iPeel who lost time by flying in the wrong direction on his second lap.  Commiseration's to Jordon who was on a real flyer before his radio completely lost it and he must have lost about 10 second trying to wrestle it back... what was that 35/72mhz or something ?  And my personal thanks to krikey for entering his AXN so I didn't quite come last this year... although I pretty much killed a lipo in the process and my motor came back about as hot as the surface of the sun.

Not many entrees in the range contest (or not many that wanted to talk about it :)) Special note must go to Simon who did 3km on a DJI Phantom !  I thought that stock radio was only good for about a third of that distance.  So an easy win for iPeel (unless Dogzilla went further, but forgot to mention it).

Like everyone on the day, I have soooo much footage to go through, the videos could take a while to come... what do you choose when there were so many planes in the sky at once

[Brucey]

Yeah just about managed to hold onto the title for another year......5S next year? :D
