Karl can’t answer your question about ‘is it good for flying?’
But I’m sure he’ll tell you how great it is for crashing TeeHee :laughing::laughing:

Had a cracking day out - came back with lots of footage and photos.

Was great to put a few faces to the names after a few years too.

A couple of great spots despite the wind and a bando that will be getting a few return visits soon!

Its easy thinking about it but when its there infront of you it can be daunting :grimacing: Ive bottled it many times after turning up and seeing the place in real life rather than videos lol

Thank Steve, and Chris, for looking after the dire wolf while I was trying not to fall off a scooter :kick_scooter: Great fun :smiley:

And I can see the addition in this FPV malarky, also great fun :sunglasses:

Had a result on the toll bridge too, they only charged me £1.50 each way :clap:t2:

Got home about 6pm, all good. Thanks for a top day out guys, nice to finally meet you after all these years.

Glad you were all impressed with the orange gear!

My thanks to all that attended, cracking day, shame the weather was so crap, but we managed to get in a fair bit of flying, and even more banter.

Until next time, cheers lads

Yes Rich, seriously thinking I’ve bought my last DJI :smile:

Impressed also with your Mavic GCS mods and that CS monitor. Next time I’ll have to bend your ear about the RF amplifiers you’ve fitted, I’m thinking they must be bi-directional or twins to get your telemetry and video back over those distances ? for another day…
