FPV Spanky on the Rocks

[JAB1a]

Hi All,

We got permission to fly around a local active gravel quarry, no workers were on site during the weekend so we had the opportunity to check it out and have a fly around the all the equipment.

This video was filmed back in September while the weather had a break from the rain and wind. The site is used to create fine gravel and aggregate for local businesses and has been active many decades.

The location would be so good to have Mini FPV Quad races around all the equipment, there is even a track behind this location that would be an excellent advanced course for the later races with a 50meter high incline on the straight.

Cheers Both  this place was so much fun to fly around and would be excellent to have some races around, I have the advanced course already planned out not very forgiving ground on the quads tho which is a negative point

Don't tease XXPitt lol Its just outside of Tavistock, Devon PL19, but I would be up for flying anywhere on Dartmoor if anyone could make it that far?

Here are some Photo's taken by my spotter on this day...

The area was covered in fine dust...


Which made for some great trails of dust when at speed...


After the small tumble into the stinging nettles I realised a few magnets had come loose in the ZMR1804 motors which can be easily fixed with super glue...


Lucky I had the tools with me...


Use No.9999 for zip ties, as a spreader for superglue. Once I found the magnet, just remove it and clean the section where it sits and then apply a thin layer of superglue...


After that, rebuild the motor and its back in the air for another attempt...


A rare spot, a caged Spanky...


No one like to see these animals caged, they should be allowed to roam free among the trees...

I like the cool workbench! No you mustn't cage those little rascals!
