Looks fun  ;D would give the campervan a good run out, as long as you'd have a newb with you?

Ooooooooooo, where do you fly ? And were do you FPV ? I have yet to have a go at FPV just building up my first attempt at it. Been flying years but first go at fpv. Nice too see people local. Would be good to come see some flying if you ever free

Ratty

Will send you a PM so we dont hijack the therad too much.

Right my work Rota works out that I'm Easter weekend sat/sun
So if its the Easter weekend that would be very good :)

And just an idea but depending who's going we split into say 2 groups and the reason is 20 people together even 1 flight each will take all day!

So if there's enough I recomend split into 2 groups and fly morning meet up at a pub lunch time discuss then afternoon we fly at diffrent locations.

Just an idea though, plus we'd need to be a fair distance from each other to avoid video issues..

I was thinking the same thing looking at the sign up sheet!

There're a few spots on x2 roads a few miles apart that should be fine enough.

There's also a big wide open valley with lots of spots to set up far enough apart but close enough for formation flying!

Plus there's a pub half way back to civilisation that does great sausage & chutney sandwiches.

keukpa

yeah, we need to think about what frequencies we fly on too!

on 5.8GHz, we should be able to get three flying at once, one at top of band, one in middle and one at bottom.

Going to be fun. I need to check out some digs....none of this camping melarky, I need by beauty sleep! LOL

Don't fancy a chutney sandwich, but then again the other doesn't sound that appealing either - deliverance?? da la la la la!

electricmick

I am up for this, if the weather forecast is reasonable. Probably B&B at Easter, camping is fine for the summer.

Pub quiz question: how many lakes are there in the Lake District?
EasyStar, Skywalker V2, X8, Zephyr II, FPVraptor, Spidex, ZMR250, DG300. Eagle Tree stuff.

Loopdreams

Lots, but only one that actually has "Lake" in it's name, Bassenthwaite Lake.
