If we could have ALL the competitors who wish to use the pictures taken from this aircraft posting them then we will award points.
Possibly as you shared the aircraft so amicably you may well wish to share the points?
In respect of the points awarded from the photographs taking at the big meet what number of points will you allow . Realise that the messages didn’t display very well on brown card. That was my department I was in charge of the Blue and Red Pens part . Must remember next time to follow the great artistic talent of Acer drones. Just so I known for when i submit Item 17. It turned out organising Item 17 was by far the hardest Item out of all 24 subjects

That is still under discussion. As some of the judges are currently out of contact, presumably enjoying their Friday night, and this is a contentious issue, especially at this late stage of the Challenge, a decision will be forthcoming when all have had a chance to air their views. Obviously, if you are all sending in a picture from the same series taken by the same aircraft then all will receive the same number of points, be that zero or somewhat more.
And item 17 was designed to be the hardest
Was quite fun though John. I had to turn off obstacle avoidance ( quick test flight with the card attached made the drone keep on rising to avoid the card) I was surprised that they all seemed quite steady in the breeze though

I was really pleased how it turned out few mishaps, but as they say " its a learning Curve"

I’d like to say a huge thank-you to the @Challenges_Committee for organising the competition and putting in so much time to work through all the submissions and, er, discussions. It is very much appreciated.
And well done to everyone who took part. Shows how motivating friendly rivalry can be

It certainly gets me out flying.
However I have made the decision that this will be my final year. The judges might be pleased with that
I have enjoyed the last 3 years.
People come and people go.
But the enjoyment remains.
Thanks all

Considering this is the final day and I’ve not entered the challenge, I’ve really enjoyed reading and following this thread.
There has been some superb photos / videos submitted and the banter between members and the committee has been fun to read.
Well done to all who entered, the lengths some members have gone to, to obtain their images and commitment to the completion of the challenges has been fantastic to watch / read.
