Having had my first ever crash yesterday - I am waiting for Amazon to deliver a cover for the lens.
I also have to clean off the grass from the body of the drone!
Might put the drone in a bath with some bubble bath and start her up. What could possibly go wrong

Thanks.
I will pop out and get some.
Makes sense, as I do not wish to upset the drone.

Use isopropyl alcohol after immersing it in the soapy water, to drive the water off

Quick note to all
This post will be locked in the morning and will direct to, as in past years to the ‘what happens at the big meet thread’
You can post any questions or banter from the weekend in there as well as any photos and links to videos.
One more sleep.
Gates open at 1400 tomorrow Friday 30 August
All we ask in the first instance is that all attendees check in with one of the committee before making camp or flying.
Looking forward to seeing you all over the weekend.

Ok just to let all know who are going to the big meet.
Will keep a check but staggered closing. Told earlier today was no access but open now.
This is the entrance of the main road. This sign is for the road the meet is on. Will keep checking.

Now an important question.
Someone mentioned a Chinese take away for Friday night.
Is that still happening?
I’m off shopping shortly for the essentials (food & beer) for the weekend

If only visitors had access to a drone they could fly down the road to see if it was open!

I bought some used fpv drones a few months ago and havent really had time to look at them. I was wondering if i brought them on Saturday would any help me sort them out?
Not looking to get them flying as just want to kniw if they are worth fixing or stripping down and rebuilding. I dont know what the frames are, the motors or any of the electronics. I know the goggles are made by phat shark and rhe radios a flysky but thats about it. I had one up in the air for all of 20 seconds and crashed it. Been in the box ever since.
ive now learnt to fly manual with the avata2 im itching to try some proper fpv but dont know if its worth the hassle of getting these up and running.
