U nailed that chase Bruce - who was leading?
It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense...

Shame it steamed up, but still what an enjoyable journey :)
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

Great to see it from your perspective, I wondered how close you were getting when you started complaining about my prop wash!

I've got the footage from my perspective still to upload, I've been too busy with the VTOL yesterday and today but will have a go at uploading it later.

I've finally fixed that problem. Just smashed the glass lens on the case out. No more steaming up and it still offers some protection.

Yeah your wing looks good in the air.
We should line them up on the ground to work out how close.
I was close enough that I could hear on the gopro footage wind noise from you when you accelerated away from me!
When I did get in your wash, it just kept rolling me over!

No more comparisons thanks, after my missus' said yours was bigger than mine.  (?)

Epic stuff guys, over 5km at hardly any altitude - another good training flight.  It would have been funny if Neil had ended up in those trees - only because you would have followed him exactly in :D

So here's my view, a little less misty than Brucey's!

Still, it doesn't look as good, because I'm not in it.  ;D

Awesome flying. I think you need a Möbius pointing backwards!

Wait 'til the twin prop's in the air, there'll be space then.  :)
