One stitch and dash of glue and it will be like a new finger in two weeks…so they say…
Nice, glad no permanent damage. My car now has a first-aid kit.
Wing flying propellers fun!
That’s good news. It looked a bit messy there for a while!
A very enjoyable meet up, thanks for organising. The wing chase was great to watch too. Thanks for all the help and advice from everyone, much appreciated.
A quick message to say if you need any assistance with building / setting it up let me know. As mentioned on the day we have the same / similar frames which might help a bit. There are many others here that will be happy to help if you post in the FPV Section too.

At this point the biggest hold-up is how slow and finnicky I’m being with the soldering. Next time I pick it up I’ll start a thread in FPV Section as you’ve suggested; having seen yours I’ll def want to make some changes to what I was going to put together. Thanks!
My video of the Knockholt venue. I’m still getting the hang of the Mini 2 SE and this was quickly put together. It does give a good idea of the layout and size of the area though. It also features ‘the lake’.

The camera drone was my emergency backup Potensic Atom SE, £130 used from Ebay. It flies very well, uses GPS and many of the features of the Mini 2 SE with the exception of 3 axis gimbal and camera zoom. The camera quality is pretty good, range is 4km and the battery lasts about 25 mins. I think it’s a great starter drone.
I’ve seen a few of them (used) on Ebay recently for around the same price and there are plenty of reviews on Youtube.
I’m very pleased with it 
A quick video I made of the “all too close” pass I made of the fixed wing while trying to chase it.
Sorry for nearly taking you out…
Oi. I have never unintentionally hit another flyer! Shall to @Yith about that…
It’s actually rather hard to hit a plane as this video shows me trying to take the yellow one out… Got there in the end

Actually closest recently was at 4:35 in this video… When I nearly flew my wing into the drone. Could see the white plane but not the drone lol
