Southampton/hampshire flyers

[krikey]

Anyone out there hailing from the Hampshire area and know of any events or meets I can come along to as I'd like to learn more about FPV from the experts.

[CurryKitten]

Well, as per the other thread, there's me and 3DJIM.  There's not much to learn from me, other than what not to do though.  But I too would love to meet up with other FPV'ers.

I'm in too, though I'd have to drive 60 odd miles to get back to my 'roots'. I would suggest Stoney Cross WWII Airfield - lots of open space, flat grass, parking and ...ponies!

I've been flying from Wilverley Pit/Plain as its a big open grass expanse. Stoney Cross sounds good. I'd love to see some other FPVers and their setups.

and here's me wondering what space you'd foudn in Southampton.  Which I guess was none, so you drove to the New Forest instead.  looks like a nice patch to fly, not so many trees  :-[

I'm kind of in the area as well (northern border of hampshire).

Maybe we should organize some sort of meetup on a weekend.

[Chris in Kabul]

I'm down there one weekend in September I think. Keep me posted.
I'm driving from South Humberside about 5 hours+ away.
Don't forget the FPV meet in Bardney on the 15th/16th September if you fancy a drive up.

My availability for a Hampshire meet:


18th-19th August
1st-2nd September
8th-9th September

Happy to meet somewhere in Hampshire or borders.

The good thing with the old airfield is it has a caravan/camping site right there!!
