Bardney Flyers Model Club 2nd FPV Meet

[wgt40w]

I attended Bardney yesterday, Saturday. A great day out, only made possible by the organisational skills of Chris (in Kabul) and the co-operation of the other Bardney Flyers Members - WHO COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE WELCOMING.

Bardney is a great example to all other bmfa affiliated Clubs. Their Members readily accepted that we were ALL sharing the same passion - TO FLY, albeit flying a variety of differing types.
On Saturday flown were FPV, Stunt planes, EDF jets, Wings, Towed Gliders and even Helicopters.

We all got on very well - and THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE.

Why any other bmfa clubs are 'sniffy' about FPV I really cannot imagine.

Bardney & Chris - you are a great bunch - I welcome any future chance to visit you again - if I lived nearer I would have joined on the spot.

A day to remember - especially seeing Spooky's My Flydream Tracker suddenly in mid flight turn 180 degrees away from the plane !

You should be able to add 20 per post Mark

I have a feeling Ian (Coyote) may be adding to this thread soon.
Nice to see you eventually mate, hope all ended well........
I'll be doing a write up over the next couple of days when I catch up with my TODO list that has slipped 2 days.

Simply a MASSIVE THANKS for a fantastic day. Even though it was windy we still managed to get some good flying in.  ;D ;D

As for Coyote  :'( :'( NOT GOOD AT ALL!!!! Feel his pain!!!

Thanks again to all at Bardney Flying Club. A great bunch of folks and a stunning site to fly from!!

Another great day at Bardney! Quite a bit windier today but we got the Z's up in the end. Tracker still not playing ball, a few people seemed to be having GPS issues though so maybe it was just a bad location/day for GPS. The Eagle Tree boys didn't seem to be having any GPS probs though (I'm using EzOSD Team Black Sheep Edition).

A huge thanks to Chris (in Kabul), and all the other Bardney Club members for letting us come and play on their patch, it's a great club and has been an awesome weekend.

Was a great day ( even with mishap ) I totally enjoyed myself, met some great FPVUK members and couldn`t have asked any more of our hosts. Hats off to Bardney`s members :)

Given your last GPS position, the height you were at and the fact it was down wind.  I'd be looking in the circl

[MarkLincs]

I dont think it will of crossed the B125 though...

but will check out the area :)

Steve that's two but crack shots now :)

Very good to meet everyone today - despite no flying for me in mega wind [still taking it easy], it was great to meet you all. Was a day of ups and downs to be sure. Nice to mix with the club guys as well.
