I will be on crowd control. Only 8 named pilots and spectators* will in inside the fence (need to know spectators in advance).
[*] Spectators are any type of Grey Arrows Members whom let me know in advance.
Will set-up at the entrance to keep uninvolved people out. Entrance had not got any shade - so any umbrellas or gazebos or sun shades feel free to bring along.
Unfortunately I saw details of the meet too late. I just live up the road in Grayshott, can I pop down and have a look and meet you all (I won’t bring my drone)?
Thanks
Brian
Heads up for anyone who is still there and heading home up the A3 northbound - avoid it at all costs! Major accident, I am just north of the Ripley exit and have been stationary for an hour
Find another way home I could easily see me being here in about another hours time
Can’t tell you how tempted I am to put my Neo up and fly down to check it out! Hmm, flying along the A3 northbound carriageway, pretty sure it said something about that in the Drone Code…
Great to see you all though, nice one Brendan @bmsleight for organising again
Thanks for organising the meet. Nice to meet you all; great crowd (well a group anyway!). The first time I’ve seen performance FPV’s flying and amazed at the skill of the guys flying them and the occasional crash but a couple of quick repairs and back in the sky again. I don’t think my reactions are quick enough anymore so I’ll stick to my 2s and Pro 4, it’s safer for me and the rest of you. All the best, Brian
Great day, despite a bit of wind! Big thanks to Brendan for organising.
I seem to be missing a GNB 2S 450mah LiHV, if anyone happens to have it by accident please let me know! I did have a good look around when we packed up, hopefully it’s not fallen out of my pocket and been left to die in the grass!!
Thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone and the advances I made with the drone. Thank you all for the confidence boost; it’s a sight to behold the way you all can throw your drones around in the air—such skill! Thank you again, Brendan, for organising the fun and for lighting up the faces of the children who came to watch you all put on a flying display for them. You were all so kind.
@lbrou - yep, I have it
It was in my bat box for some reason but I didn’t think anything of it as I’ve got some of those at home for my betafpv drone.
I can’t remember where you’re based but I can bring it to a Knockholt meet at some point and either give it to you or to someone else that lives nearer you.
*I’ll put it in storage now anyway
No problem, glad to know where it is
I live near Southampton so probs a bit far from Knockholt but I’m sure we can work something out or we’ll cross paths at another meet some time.
@lbrou I did not mind you flying my 5" - but did you have to land it better than me on the first attempt ?
I have the full video 4G if you want - I put it on server for your download. Otherwise I will clear the disk space.
Excellent day.
Even got a follow-up from English Heritage ask us if it went ok.
@bmsleight thanks I appreciate the test flight. Still blown away by the performance compared to my whoops Yes I would like to see the full video if it’s not too much hassle to upload!
