Ditto!

I';ll be coming too! I';ve recently got a Flamewheel F-450 w/ DJI NAZA and a DX6i Spektrum controller. I';ve assembled it, but can';t seem to configure it - it';s stuck in ';Fail safe';. If I haven';t figured it out by the meet maybe someone could help me?

Also, I';ll be coming from Newbury/Kintbury - anyone driving and got space in their car? Otherwise it';s 2 hours in the train :P

Check the settings on your spectrum, you may need to adjust the endpoints or sub trim for the flight mode channel..

Great to see a meeting so close, I will be there..... I hope the weather holds! I will be bringing a few bit';s along to fly, the new EVO S800 should be making an appearance as I have a client wanting to collect it, why not add some fun to business!

Looking forward to seeing you all very soon.

Regards

Martin.

[orfordness]

Might need a bigger venue at this rate!

[sausageroll]

ALS may need air traffic control....

Sausage copter is cleared for takeoff....

[kibi]

I shall be in attendance assuming I get my quad put back together after a nasty crash yesterday.
I will bring my mate along too if he can get cover for his shift. Like me, he also has a F450, Naza M V2.

[Gav]

Well I';ve got the all clear and have taken delivery of a few extra lipos so should be ';good to go';

Just need to remove some noise from my fpv video feed on my latest fpv quad creation (hopeful just a filter on the cam and vtx power lines) other wise raring to go.

Looking forward to some chilled out no pressure, fpv flying and meeting up with you guys.

[JM]

Is there a postcode for the venue?

I';ve found it.

I made the supreme effort and went back to an earlier post with the venue details :-)

I';ll post here..

The park at Costello school
Crossborough Hill  Basingstoke, Hampshire RG21 4AL
Midday I believe is the arranged time..

[sausageroll]

You coming Jim? I heard that Johns hex we saw at the park last time had a little accident... Have you got yours yet?

[orfordness]

Just an aside and I have no direct connection to this (fpvuk) website...

But it is extremely advisable that anyone flying in a public place has suitable Public Liability Insurance?
BMFA would be fine, but I';ve utilised the £5million PLI from these guys:- http://www.fpvuk.org/
£15.80, instant cover for 12 months.

Yes I';ll be there, but no machine to fly yet.
I hadn';t heard about John ';s mishap. Not too serious I hope.
