It is near to a military base - but is good to fly south.

Weather on 6th August

  • Come rain or shine, I will be there
  • Fair weather and a fair wind, I will be there
  • If the stars align, I might just make it
  • Alas, something more important than drone flying (WTF??)

Its about the same distance for me as Knockholt so I should be able to make it.

For those in the competition, I plan to bring a drone in the right colour (3d-printed case), which is not DJI. Just need to find two more motors. So people can capture this in flight.

6. A Drone in Flight

  • Bonus point if it’s not DJI. ✓
  • Bonus if its colour matches King Charles’ mistress’s wares. ✓
  • Bonus point if has six or more motors. ☒

Lots of people waiting with baited breath to see what colour you plump for.

Hey guys, I’ve been more of a lurker her for the last year or so, but I reckon it’s time to get of my arse and come out for a day. Fairly easy reach for me.

Lets hope for good weather!!!

Unfortunately I’m away elsewhere on 13th but I reckon thats your best bet. UAV forecast is saying 39mph gusts on Sunday at the moment…

I’m the other way around. Can’t do 6th, can do 13th. Our paths are not going to cross this time.

19

Hopefully one of the 2 days will work out. I’ll be along on the next one…

20

I’m struggling, can’t do either 6th or 13th now
I’ll keep looking for the next posting :man_shrugging:t3:
