I’ve not got to a Big Meet yet. From the previous threads it seems to be mostly about FPV… …is that a fair assessment, or is there more to interest the humble photo drone pilot?

The camera droners outnumber the FPV’ers by at least 4 to 1

Come along and have a play with an Avatar

And we split the days into hour chunks, camera drones get an hour then FPV’ers get an hour, lots of tinker, talk and drink time in between.

And for those who have never flown FPV, as I say there is lots of opportunity to have a play with some Avata and Avata 2’s (the odd Neo too)

No, as the milkman say its split, the sessions are done on an hourly basis of Camera and then FPV, and also remember nearly all FPVers have camera drones as well

You should, you would love it

There’s a large country park nearby and a viaduct, both within a short driving distance.

I seem to recall that Phil @piplindley went a wonder to both locations last June.

Are there any gates or obstacles for fpv ?

Oh yes, even illuminating ones for our night flying sessions

And if you have any or feel the urge to make some bring them along. The more the merrier :grinning_face:

As well as a longer ‘race track’ that we use

I always get lost​:rofl::rofl: on that race track.

Suggest a screenshot of goggle maps, then mark it up.
