Mad Dogs 6, Spring 2014

Guys, this was the best MD ever so far IMO. I guauge that on how far we've all come with our flying and set ups and the amazing quality of footage. The amount of planes in the sky at one time was staggeringly awesome! A few crashes was inevitable :)

My crash as usual was avoidable.

I was kinda busy with Holly, so didn't do a great deal of flying, but it's really nice to see my plane in the chase videos, so that kinda puts me there! I will put a vid together shortly.

Thanks to everyone for coming and making it such a great day. It was amazing flying with and beside you all!

Thanks to Wayne and Neil for organising the speed trials and staying late as usual and helping with the clean up. Dogzilla especially with this who did all of the dishes - not the nicest job, really appreciated!

So the sun sets on another great MD event and it's that time to choose the next date. A summer meet is on the cards. I will chat to Dave Pickett and see when the cricketers have the weekend off in August.

I am going to make sure I subscribe to everyone who posts videos and throw likes on their channels.

Thanks to everyone formaking it such a memorable day and well done on the great vids so far!

See you at the next one.

Richard

Well what can I say, my first FPV meet, and I was make to feel so welcome, I enjoyed watching the single wings, and guess I now have another project on the list :o

Many thanks guys

Simon

Just so everyone knows Simon thought it we were going to be a bunch of train spotters flying in circles around a field and conversation wouldn't extend beyond talking about our new soldering irons :D

So Simon was about right then!
And Badlands, it's not just about power output, it's what tip you've got :-P

We have to think about Brucey's idea of some really bad trophies for the challenges.

I found this on thingiverse which I could print up on a base:

If anyone can find anything worse and potentially tackier then let rip!

I think print a really cheesy cup trip hey and then put it in the oven for 20 minutes :D

Rich, your video is set to private

Flyboysee · June 02, 2014, 06:57:42 AM

I'll just call mine 'Rear Vier Mirror'. That little Tri accident lost me a couple of HD vids, not corrupted, just - gone!

Nice vid rich!
Scary looking back over your tail and seeing two black wings chasing you!

That would have been weird if I was out flying by myself on a Sunday yes :) Who was chasing you then Bruno? Be great to do a little vid of all three views...

That was me! I've got onboard footage if you want it?

Glad you all had a good time. Nice vids guys.

Cant wait for the next one. ;D

A day late on the video for me - apologies. I make absolutely no apologies for the awful music chosen, it was more of an obvious message of what we were doing rather than an actual choice

Mad Dogs 6: FPV meet in Oxfordshire

I pushed to get some interesting clips into a short video, but there was a flight where I was following Brucey around where I hadn't really seen before as I was busy concentrating just on his plane at the time - and I really like the video from. I wondered it everyone else (I think krikey and iPeel were behind me) has ground recording from it, I'm interested to know how it looks from all angles... plus I also wanted to know how close you guys got when I heard lots of "Whoa", "Arrrggh", "Look out" and other assorted shouting.

iPeel · June 02, 2014, 03:22:15 PM

Brilliant video! I hoped for more from my attempt to mug you both with my fast wing going through the two trees but the Falcon crash was so much better from your angle!

You'll have to send me the thumbnail you used on the video , that needs to be my avatar!

Neil.

Very nicely done Wayne - fun to watch.
