Derby meet-up East Midlands on Sunday July 21st 2024

I can supply biscuits and cake. Was thinking of making up bacon cobs/ rolls, but realise these would probably be cold by the time people are turning up ( I have no way of keeping things warm )

BBQ’s are not allowed in the park unfortunately. The parks people think they set fire to the grass and the smells might attract people :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Is this only drones or do others come with helis and planes etc? Is there some sort of a runway?

I hadn’t thought of extra electricity. I’ll have to fill a bucket up and bring it with me.

Those holes are to stop kids electrificating themselves. You could put some insulting tape over them. Most care spares shops stock it, usually near the indicator fluid.

Ahh never thought about that. Last time I was in a car spares shop was for a set of spark plug gaps. Sadly they’d just sold the last set of 15 thou gaps :wink::wink:

There’s a big one just down the road at East Mids, but they don’t like others using it :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Absolutely Matt :+1::+1:

I think you may be as daft as me, and that isn’t an insult, more a complimemt.
Reminded me of when I used to work on motorbikes and had regular visits from a Ronny Ring Ding on his moped. He would pester me to sort out his engine as he was never happy with how it ran. One particular day I was too busy to entertain him, I listened to his engine and told hime the power band had snapped and sent him to the local bike spares place to get a new one. 45 mins later he came back saying they wanted to know what colour. This went on for most of the morning, asking about colour, length, width, material. Even got him asking if they had any loose torque. Eventually I got a phone call from the owner asking for us to stop sending him as their work schedule was getting behind. The workshop was attached to the stores and as soon as the mechanics heard his bike pull in the yard everyone downed tools to eavesdrop what ridiculous thing he would ask for.

Has anyone thought of posting a notice on drone assist about Sundays meeting? I once saw one on the east coast where a group were flyiing kites over a weekend. Apparently it is a simple job of just adding it as a planned flight.

Or use our very own drone scene :wink:
