FPV Speed competition....

[Balders]

Ratty, I'll post the rules as soon as the threads are created.  We will allow recordings from teh aircraft so long as they clearly show passing a landmark that you can identify on google maps/distance, using this link:

Hmm...

Maybe if the new wing is up to any sort of speed, I might just buy a little something ending in 4s

big balls  is  a maiden of 5.1km

That sounds cool Balders, and thanks for that link it will come in handy.

Propose to count time from throw or lift off ground to land and full stop.

Was really hoping to get an entry in this weekend but it was just too damn windy to fly.

[Balders]

I think a few of us were thinking that mate.

[MrBen]

come on girls, its only a bit of wind!

[londonguy]

I normally fly in any wind but the wind I had on Saturday was silly. Blew my tripod over for a start, had to drop it down to its lowest setting a ft off the ground and then hang my rucksack off the bottom hook.

Got up in the air but it was getting thrown all over the gaff. Came down after a few minutes and packed up

[Balders]

I think my eazystar would have been flying backwards today!
