Eee lad, I remember when thems houses wuz just fields and slag heapsšŸ¤£.

Nice up there matešŸ‘. I used to live with my parents on Delamere Way, not far away from you.

And on that hill what that estates built on, we had some of the biggest end of school year piss ups ever. Messy timesšŸ¤Ŗ.

Only live half a mile away on Holland moor if you ever fancy a fly aboutšŸ‘

I can make the 16th, be good to meet folk and pick up tips and tricks. Not had much flight time since I got my drone as too busy at work and life.
Planning to take it away with me in first week in July to Cornwall and start clocking up some miles with it.

I hope to be there but my social secretary / wife has yet to confirm my availability. Itā€™s also close to another granddaughter making an appearance.

what do we need to bring (not been to any meets before) other than drones marked up with operator IDs?

have a mini 3 pro + avata

do I need to bring an insurance certificate (I presume my fpvuk membership certificate will be ok)?

I live local so either date will be good for me,

thanks keen to learn something

Itā€™s up to you, remember itā€™s just a group of people flying some drones

I will be bring my drones, a chair and some charging kit

39

are there any rules / etiquette at these sort of events (I am just a hobby flyerā€¦ got a mobula 7 + beta FPV toothpick but I just could not get the hang of the controls, hence love the idiotproof stability of the mini 2 (now sold), hence others just sat in cupboard

and now I use the mini3 pro the most and dabble with the avata

I got the impression that at the big meet weekend insurance was mandatory or people were told not to make the long drive (too far for me) but just checking

40

That was someoneā€™s private land, and in case @clinkadink put his drone in a sheep

But seriously everyone should have some PLI when flying their toys
