Chesterfield Bando Meet - 15th Sept 2024

Here’s a few closes up the graffiti, to show the detail.



The angle of the photo I took of the “Léon: The Professional” graffiti doesn’t really show the details very well, but it must have taken a fair few hours to produce it.

Thank you, I’ll have to get my thinking cap on, for the next East Midlands Meet. :thinking:

Nice one, Jason.

My visit was short but sweet (things to do unfortunately). Only flew a couple of packs. Broke a prop (on the one quad I hadn’t brought spares for) and lost a finder. :laughing:

Worst of all, I have to try and find out why the 3 inch is spazzing out after getting its nice new frame. :unamused:

Blurry pano…

Cheers guys and thanks for sorting @TheBinman Jason. Thanks for tea and biscuits.

At least at a bando you can hide inside. Time for the martian to retire and a new frame for that.

Also is there a battery fire badge? First time I’ve seen one at a GADC meet. @Banjonic thanks for the sacrifice

Martin (@GunjaFPV) trying to head butt the NEO. :pleading_face::flushed::face_with_head_bandage:

On a more serious note, so many YT-ers have slated the video capabilities of the NEO, considering this was shot inside a building with only natural light, I don’t think it’s that bad.

It was a great meet-up, it was so nice to see everyone. Thank you to @TheBinman for organizing. It was going to happen sooner or later, my first bando crash, quad is fine but the battery had a good send off.
@GunjaFPV put the battery to rest and just as it went up in flames, @Jord lost connection with his quad and it nearly landed on top of the flames lol

Great meet today!

Though I’ve got quite a bit of TLC to sort out with the poor quads :rofl:

Thanks for arranging @TheBinman

If you leave a bando without needing some repair work, you’ve not flown a bando.

Even @Steviegeek was joining in smashing his Air 2S up!

Thanks for setting up the meet @TheBinman.

Good to see everyone that attended.

Good to see some old friends as well as quite a number of familiar faces from the big meet!

Had a good morning blasting some packs and dodging quads everywhere :joy: with some good company to boot.

Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks for arranging this…it was great to meet everyone and try a few things I’ve not done before.

Everyone was really helpful to a newbie and it was much appreciated…although some have definitely marked themselves as pilots that I have to mindful of (@BigDog deciding that he might want to be a tree surgeon and @GunjaFPV never finding that spare channel!).

See you all again!
