Flying Zephyrs CLOSE PROXIMITY down the side of Mam Tor - AWESOME DAY OUT!!!

[Flyn]

Guys when I finish my wing I'll have to get one of you to test fly it before I do I think lol radio gear comming this week

Mate, sure thing, I'm just down the A14 near Huntingdon. We could hook up for a flight.

(I fly mode 2, throttle left)

Zed's dead baby... :shockedghost: Zed's dead.

Looks like I'm building a new one. She definitely ain't pretty now!

Dude....

What's the damage?

Is the gopro ok?

[FPVSteve]

Bah. Least you get all of your gear back though I guess?

[Spookfish]

Yeah, the cameras are good. All the electronics look OK. Obviously everything needs a thorough testing. Lost the motor, battery's are fully discharged and the airframe is FUBAR! Still it's better than a total loss. :(

[Flyn]

Sh!t the bed....

Mam Tor did a real number on it huh!

I guess we know why it was a total blackout on impact!

[FPVSteve]

Ouch that must have been some hit :(

[Spookfish]

Yup all sorts of stuff came unplugged! My camera box is still in tact though! :ohyeah:

[Flyn]

Mate, seriously, nice work! Should sell 'em if they can take that sort of hit & save both cams!!!!

[Teamftp]

Oh dear no amount of hot glue or gorilla glue is gunna sort that!!!! Bummer dude!!

Well at least you got the bits back..

I expect to see another AWESOME build very soon to your normal beyond fantastic quality  ;D

[Spookfish]

Yeah, standby for the next build. This one is gonna be much better! I've got a few ideas from the things I learned building the last one. Most notably more strength in the nose and motor mount areas. Gonna have a rethink on the bumpers/skids as these were a bit of a week point too. I'll also be running Eagle Tree gear as per Flyn's set up, looks awesome kit.

I'll try and do a build thread for this one too. So keep an eye out for that! :thumbsup:

Sweet mate can't wait to see your mkii!

In the meantime anyone fancy a T-Shirt to commemorate the weekend?? Or maybe we could turn the design into stickers???


Small breast logo


Large chest logo

that's a top draw vid of the day, love the bit up with the paragliders.

i've had a zed build which stalled a couple of months back, but watching that, makes me really want to get it finished and in the air.

[Spookfish]

Yeah, get it finished and in the air. You won't be dissapointed. They are a great plane to fly both line of sight and FPV. Some say they're not strong enough. I say just don't crash it! Something I'm finding hard not to do. :goofy:

Nice T'shirt design Flyn. I like that logo.
