I reckon I will be getting a letter for this one I cant for the life of me lock in these trippys, next challenge is going to be a building dive above 50ft nice and easy one

Literally done today :roll_eyes: :laughing:
I am going to have a go tomorrow at 2 and 3 again

Been putting some sim time in. Still very ropy, which doesn’t bode well for IRL attempts. I can’t seem to maintain altitude so I’m currently looking for a 500ft pole in the middle of a (windless) field. :rofl:

Building dive shouldn’t be a problem. :crossed_fingers:

In fact, my first IRL attempt in B&M car park didn’t even get close and I broke my frame. :cry: :laughing:

I had a cracked frame like that for ages and just flew it, but yea i need that 500ft pole, can get the trippy locked in but as soon as I try the switch i fall fast.
Weather had not been on my side for this is just way too windy.

Standby it might just happen

I thought I recognised it. I used to work at the Science Park across the Boulevard many years ago. Spent more than several lunchtimes in the SU bar. :grin:

With hindsight, it’s likely that this whoop, as configured when I went out, wasn’t even capable of trippy spinning. 80% throttle scale, I suspect, lead to not being able to keep it up in that position, even at maximum stick. Muppet.

I feel your pain. :unamused_face:
I dumped my 75mm into a watering can whilst trying to limbo-loop for the TGS challenge last week.
A full watering can. Obviously.

Well I was hoping to at least get to do a failed trippy switch today but if it ain’t wind its security on the uni but now its sunday so thought it would be perfect to do as nobody around and its bloody raining :roll_eyes:
Looks like another fail :+1:

The weather has absolutely not been on our side lately. Virtually no wind today but pissing down on and off.

I’m wondering if I can be arsed looking for a different building for the dive - probably just do the East Mill again as soon as an opportunity presents itself. At least it’s close. :laughing:

Any craines nearby :+1: look on NOTAM

There is actually, but I’m very risk-averse when it comes to retrieval. If there’s a chance I might crash somewhere inaccessible, then I will. :grin:

I speak to the site gate and then get the project managers details most are happy with what you are going to do as long as there are not working on site
if there is a problem just meet them on site or security (they are not all nobs) might even be able to get it for you

I was the same I didn’t even do a fail video so have had to take the letter :frowning:
Building dive should be ok as long as we get a day without it being too gusty ill just drop my mob8 down the side of something.
Wonder what the next one is gonna be after that :face_with_peeking_eye:
