How the hell did I miss this? Although I did have a trip up to Surprise View where I could only achieve a very short flight as it was quite draughty up there. I did manage to break through above the turbulance to take a 360 picture but came down just as quick as I wasn’t too happy.

Loved the video Nicola, great fast steady flying and the super fast take-off looks as impressive as it did in real life. Have you ever did that in front of a very tall building?
Oh and a fun soundtrack.

Thank you Ian @Robinhood I am still a newbie but maybe in the near future I will pluck up the courage and do a dive down a building :blush:

After reading the replies since Sunday, it would appear that everyone enjoyed the day, which is great to hear / read.

I’ll have to organise another.

Will bring the new Illuminated GADC Gates to the next. They’d be perfectly at home on the remaining bit of the tarmac runway.

I can’t answer that, however if the weather hold out, I’ll organise another before winter sets in. :+1:t2:

Would appreciate a pm. I can easily get lost in forums. Feacesbook leaves me cold at the prospect.

You are a member of @group-eastmidlands, perhaps @TheBinman would mention that group next time … and you’ll get a notification.

Can’t really expect people to remember all those that might want a PM, in fairness. :+1:

I did tag the group, in the initial post.

And - if you saw my post before I edited it - you’d realise that was all I thought was needed.
But apparently that doesn’t create a notification … only enables a search on the tag.

Apparently, we’ve both learnt, it needs to be the @ version within the post.

Personally, I’ve got a first post watch on the Meetups category so I always get a notification when a new one is started. I don’t care about most of them, but it does mean I’m less likely to miss one I am interested in. :wink:

“If he told you to jump off a cliff, would you?” :laughing:

Finally got the balls to try full manual. Even though i was pants and binned it in the grass i came away with a huge grin. Lots to learn and why did i not get warned that the wind is the enemy when in manual.

If we have another Nottingham meet i am going to fly manual only so watch out for fly aways

It takes a little getting used to, Paul @360Drones.

I’ve been back there this morning for a couple of hours, until I started to feel the cold, to get some practice in myself.

There were a couple of guys with RC planes, where we sat last week, so I set up elsewhere and flew both the Neo & Avata 2 in manual mode to get some practice in.

Chased a few dirt bikes and hovered around catching the RC planes.

Whilst there, also noticed a dirt track, which is passable in a car or van, which takes you straight to the area / old runway. So it saves people having to carry all their bags of drone gear.

Today I flew from the pointer marked with the purple X, the orange line if the dirt track that’s accessible with a car and the red pin is where we flew from last weekend.
