The GADC Drone Relay Challenge Discussion Thread

Well, I know times are tight for a lot of people, but we could possibly start a wee kitty to save up for a used mini2? A quid here, a quid there, wouldn’t take too long to build up. Would possibly have to be full members only who would be willing to pass on their details before taking part? I know, but I’ve done similar on another forum and sometimes things went missing.
I don’t think it kills the idea, the drone could be posted on, but thats more expense. mmhhhh, keep the ideas coming chaps

# 6 blah blah blah

Lose the space after the hash

GADC will donate a <250g drone for this.

(We’ll want it back when done though)

No way man, you don’t see Royal Mail taking part in the olympics. Plus, they’d only lose it anyway :roll_eyes:

Hand the drone to the next member in the relay. Good chance for a meet-up and a natter with other members in the area too.

Good points!

Maybe if we’re all prepared to do some sort of drive at different stages and for those who can drive obviously , if unfortunately those who fly that can’t drive may be able to organise a lift or transport so everyone who’s willing has a chance to be part of the challenge :wink: happy days

I’m sure I still have my samsung galaxy S9 which works with the mini2/dji fly and litchi, I’ll add that in so that nobody has to piss about?

Yet another kind gesture from our @GADC_Committee leader, he really needs to sort his coffee trolley out, reserves must be down :grinning:

Yes, a top-up is overdue. :+1:

So what page we on at the mo pass it threw the post or not a good idea , surly the amount of us scattered around we could do this without the post just means a little drive maybe , I dunno maybe to early to say I guess

I did see that @mynameisjoe earlier , then when I came back on I didn’t know if thoughts had changed , sorry for the misunderstanding , I should have read back threw .

I agree it’s a personal pass-on thoughout it’s journey, socialising opportunities (in warwickshire we could have a mini-meet at our club field and use that as the pass-on opportunity)
Anyway it’s not a relay otherwise is it :thinking:

That’s very true , :+1:t2:

On my way to Lands End…

Would I also be correct in saying that all taking part would have to have flyer ID?

And judging by the member map we don’t seem to have too many active members in Scotland, I could be doing a LOT of miles!!!

That’s the perks of coming up with the idea :smile:

I’d be up for this and was just thinking the same thing lol

There’s at least two of you, what’s the problem ? :rofl: :rofl:

Half each :grinning:
