New Years FPV Resolutions

[Coyote]

As we say goodbye to 2015 and welcome in 2016. What are your goals for this year coming ?

Mine last year was simple enough. To get out much more often. Instead of talking myself out of it, instead to get out and do it. To attend some meets and meet some members.

On reflection I did just that. I have flown as much early on as I could have. I went along to two Mad Dogs meets and have had some of the best flying ever. So job done, I am satisfied I kept to my resolution.

This year I'm not sure. I would like to keep up my attendance at meets. Again get out as much as possible. But that's not a new goal.

This year I want to concentrate on improving the airframes I have and making them more reliable and step up my video editing too.

So what are your 2016 resolutions ?

I'd second that..... long overdue and robbed of the opportunity this year.

And make the most of what I have because I need to buy a house... and get a paramotor in the next 18 months ..😊

I've got 2 so far:


1 - Don't let the wind put me off ... so I've built a 290 size hex out of an old 250 + spares over Xmas, hopefully that will cope better than a quad
2 - Stop tinkering with core models - last year I always seemed to be 'just tuning' my models and subsequently they were never 'ready to fly properly'. This year I am aiming to have at least one plank and one multi tuned and ready to fly all the time so there's no excuses...first though, I need to get one of each 'properly tuned' :(

I think last year I was the same, I vowed to get out flying more... and I did. I was able to finish work early at least a few times a week in the summer, and got some really good flying in.

I think this year I'm going to focus on finding new places to fly. I need to venture further out, so I think at least a few trips to the North Yorkshire Moors are in order, along with a few trips to the coast as well. Always open to suggestions and invitations :) (although I don't do crowds, so no big meets for me)

I aim to fly on more than 200 out of the 365 days.  ;D

Place better than I have in a race event (3rd) but that will require a lot of luck. (or sabotage)  \0/

[BlueFlyer]

wow, that's a lot of flying

1 - Stop waiting for perfect windless days, I need to embrace the weather and become a better pilot. I can fly in the wind, but I don't enjoy it as much -  I need to just get used to it and have fun with it.

2 - Fly a little further and higher, glad I broke my 1km duck this year despite the mentalist challenges I'm facing

3 - Fly in different places (I think this is probably key to enjoying my FPV and getting nice videos, but also building trust in my airframes)

That'll do - I'll probably not be doing much flying with people this year unless they come to me because I just don't have the time and I'm a little short of funds thanks to my bloody house. Need to top it up!

Stop flying alone and meet up with some of you guys, and have a chase round the skies  :ohyeah:
Happy new year all.

1)To get a Slope/ Thermal Soaring FPV setup working nicely with My Aether.

2)To have done some competent motorless FPV slope soaring by the end of Summer.

All that of course using my home spun OSD/ FC /APM/ Tracker combo which I hope to greatly expand and improve this coming year.

Well for a start a massive happy new year to all.

1. Aim this year is to fly out as far as poss at low level, that means playing around with antennas.

2. Now I've got the sh nicely setup for mapping (big thanks to Thunderstruk) I would like to concentrate on  acquiring some customers.

3. The plans have been drawn for a big balsa twin so look forward to a new build thread.

4. Get out of my IT job asap!

Cheers all and happy flying. Btw the weather here is beautiful today, wind speed is 3kts so guess where I'm off to....

Get shot of all the spare bits and pieces bought in error even if it means giving away for free to newbies. Smile more. Lose 17 lbs. stop buying second hand crap for nearly new prices. Visit Scotland for a long holiday.
