Well, I've printed out the map - lets see where my non-existant sense of direction takes me.  Not a problem, I'll just put "unknown road" into the TomTom and see where I end up.

I don't suppose anyone is taking a laptop.  My 3-way switch *seems* to be working on the 9x, but I'll need to recheck in the morning just to make sure values haven't drifted around

Curry I have a laptop coming but don't have software, so bring it. If ur coming from Soton side best way is to take Cadnam roundabout, 3rd exit - drive till you pass two pubs, take 2nd left, go up road past golf course. Keep on up then take 1st left and just keep driving straight. Some roads merge but don't worry, keep going straight and if you see them follow signs to Ocknell Camp. My van will be at first parking on right hand side after Janes Pond. Black van with 'Merge' on it. Look for high PVC antenna mast behind bushes - voila! :)

Have fun guys and hope the weather is kind to you.  Look forward to see some footage!

despite being moved on from Stoney Cross, I think we managed to have some fun down at the TestLane field in Soton.  Nothing broken or lost and was nice to meet you guys!  Need to balance my props as got a wobbly video from my naza quad.   Either that or record with 60fps on the gopro to soak up the shakes lol.  But gimbal worked nicely!  sorry didnt take many photos.


edit  just realised one motor shaft is banana shape and bearings are shot.  Well the motors were off my very first quad that fell out the sky from 100-200ft once as per this video..FF to 1:10 min for crash

Haven't lived in that area for many a year/decade.
Used to live in Hythe then Poole, so know Stoney Cross.

Just interested to know who moved you on, and why?

[Coomkeen]

Huh, typical.
Maybe you could enter a complaint of horse riders upsetting your hobby?

The Forestry Commission in Cornwall, once a year, allow a local car club to run races on the tracks in Halvana Plantation.
It's an all day event and horse riders, even if they have riding permits, are excluded from the forest.
The FC say, quite rightly, that the forest is for the enjoyment of everyone.

Had great fun today. Was a shame about Stoney X. Here's a vid at Test Zlane, Southampton.

It say YouTube not available for me but can log on to YouTube by not using the link and it all works fine. I am using he iPad though.
Anyway just to say thanks for making the Suwwey interloper feel welcome, I had a great time meeting you all. Nice to see all your fantastic quads etc.
Wonder if that woman has caught her horse yet. :D
Here's to the next one!
Cheers, Mark
