That was an amazing day! I have some dvr I need to scrub through but managed a bunch of epic dives and a wall tap. It’s far from a forgiving. I destroyed all my props and a lipo. One of mates destroyed at least 1 hypetrain motor (possibly more) 3 batteries and a ton of props

Brilliant day brilliant

Looking forward to seeing whatever you can share!

Not been through my dvr yet (job for tonight) but my mate Joe produced this

Wow :clap:t2:

I love 3:40!!! Doesn’t make it through that little “window” (goodness knows how many feet up!!) crashes and lands inverted on the “windrow ledge” …. and flips it off the ledge! :open_mouth:

The amount of left over peregrine falcon dinners on that ledge! LOL!

The video doesn’t even come close to doing this justice really. He was very lucky he had turtlemode setup correctly. How he recovered it before the ground happened is shockingly good skill. To give an idea of what’s involved

Once upside down
Disarm
Activate turtle mode
Rock off ledge.
Turn off turtle
Re arm quad while falling
Level out and not crash

Totally amazing when you think about it

I was also suitably impressed that people brought their own deck chairs along to the meet :smiley:

Most people do tbh. That and pop up tables.

One guy I fly with brings a battery powered fridge

Newbie here looking to learn from the best.
It looks pretty cool in the videos. Count me in for the next meet guys, I am in Derby.

Shardlow Marina is another place I wish to go & fly but it’s proximity to the airport is deterring me.

The Marina is within the FRZ for the airport.

How unfortunate, to deprive such a beautiful place from aerial imagery.

Oh well, it is what it is.

Tutbury Castle or Willington towers is where I’ll look next to get those air miles.
