I don’t plan submitting entries for the challenge but I don’t think any points should be dependent on airdata which doesn’t talk to Potensic drones.
I do expect to help others get points, blue shirt ironed for the Beacon (Skem) meet

Wording now changed to “* A flight over water. Airdata (free accounts available) or similar proof is required if it is not obvious that the drone is above a body of water.”
As a matter of interest these are the supported drones in Airdata:
This is a link to an article on reading Potensic flight logs and an app for doing so
And this is Potensics own site for Atom2 log readings

I look down on them for I have a large drone landing pad and they have a medium one or none at all. I am a great pilot.
And I look up to him for he has a large landing pad but down on him for he has none. I am a good pilot
$%^%^* to you both. I hand catch my drone - I am an excellent pilot!
Does it matter as long as you land safely? Do landing pads have any effect on the Leaderboard? Click the Pic™ to find out!

Here’s my entry for:
2. A bridge carrying a minimum gauge (15 inch) or larger railway line
Date/Time: August 15th, 17:30
Drone: DJI Mini 4 Pro
Location: Caledonian Railway Bridge, Glasgow
I’m claiming all four bonus points for:
- The bridge spanning both a road and a waterway, each named on Google Maps/Earth
- More than one set of railway tracks on the bridge:
- A train crossing the bridge (The train must occupy more than 50% of the bridge span)
- Two trains crossing the bridge (Each train must occupy more than 50% of the bridge span)
Broomielaw to the north, Clyde Place to the south, the River Clyde in the middle:
At points there are ten tracks (source… but feel free to count)
And there are three trains (all longer than 50% of the span) so pick your favourite two 
Total points claimed for the entry = 5
I’m also playing the hyperlapse joker for an extra five:
- A hyperlapse of 8 seconds or more at a minimum 3 times normal speed
Bringing the total points claimed to ten, please and thank you

Was approached by a couple of security guards from the Barclays building whilst I was flying … thought they were going to tell me to leave but they just asked if I there was any chance I could take out a couple of the seagulls whilst I was up there, laughed and walked off.

TEN tracks, THREE trains - no extra points for overkill.
Love the hyperlapse and the music - looks like a massive model railway like Rod Stewart would build
Ten points to you, Joe.

Persistence pays off!
Seven points in total
Ta v muchly.
My challenging forays are paused whilst DJI fix my drone.
Good luck - motor blocked message we believe. If you share your Airdata as @macspite suggests in the other thread the people in there should have some valid ideas. DJI are fairly quick at sorting problems
We are due a week of strongish winds at ChallCom HQ, if you are in for the same sort of weather then you shouldn’t lose too many flying days!

Thanks Stevie and welcome to the Challenge
That’s the kind of close, clear shot we really appreciate!
Looks like the farmer or the contractor has splashed out on a new Case combine, let’s hope he is in a part of the country where yields aren’t too badly affected by this year’s weather.
We realise this is your first submission but we need to direct you to the rules for entries:
All images for consideration must be posted in this thread with the number and name of the object claimed, the bonus points claimed, the time, date and location of the image and the drone used to take the picture. Feel free to add further information to impress your fellow contestants and amuse the judges.
We will let you off this time
2 points!

Excellent.
Blue landing pads as well! But who is the gentleman in the maroon top that is risking you losing a point for not everyone wearing blue?
S*d it! It’s our Birthday after all. Full six points to you, Eric and welcome to the Birthday Challenge!

Sorry for letting the side down, I haven’t got a blue top (that I can still fit into anyway).
