RTF Competition - May 22 to June 4 - BRIDGES - Winners Announced!

I was saving my Mini 3 battery for the church. My flymore arrives in the morning. So I only have one battery at the moment for that drone.

I’ll try and get back tomorrow if the weather is ok and I’ll try and do the same shot with various drones.

To be fair, it was a bit of a spur of the moment thing and I only grabbed the Mini 3 and the Mavic 3

Can’t believe you are giving out the coveted ChallCom heavy sarcasm award so early.

It’s the old style. We have a few to get rid of. Tradition has it that every time a new member joins the team we re-design the awards …

I may have spoken far too soon about not getting another opportunity to capture the swing bridge in operation.

I see all your fancy bridges that are marvels of modern engineering and amazing works and bring you this rotted railway sleeper with some nails stuck in it slung over a wet bit. (Not actually a drone pic, so not in competition)

You sure that’s a railway sleeper and not that bloody viaduct worn down to a nubbin by all those drones flying over it?
