    It has been cleaned & serviced & updated to the latest firmware, ready for a new home.

    Ideal printer for LWPLA for 3D printed RC planes.

    Sorry but I’m busy this week.

    Nice to see a bit of action from up your way, weather down here has not been great for flying but should be more consistently better from mid October (hopefully)

    It was a great day to be alive today @ the field.

    Sun was shining, with virtually no breeze, definitely Teeshirt weather today.

    Seven happy flyers in attendance today but no Kermit (pouring Concrete) so no Oops moments were caught on camera today.

    I had a couple trying to launch a wing that had not flown for a long time, luckily no damage & I eventually got the launch right & had a 20 minute + flight with the old Sky Shadow.

    Had a nice long FPV flight with the Kobuz and that is probably the only footage recorded today as everyone was too busy enjoying the flying.

    Neil also had a couple of Oops moments launching his Chaser wing but luckily not too much damage other than to his pride.

    Mark had a couple of Oops moments with his 3D printed Mini Cub and his Go Wolf but at least he did get some flying time in with both before the Oops!!.

    OK, looks like Monday is a goer then, I’ll put up the calendar and let James know.

    11:00am start.

    Cavert’s Lagoon looks a bit wet, may be OK for float planes but not much else.

    Another fine video Mr Kermit, good to see you have not lost the touch over your absent weeks !!

    in reply to: sailing again #21537

    Gee Kermit, you will need another bigger container soon to store it all in.

    Sorry I wasn’t there to meet Phil & Barry but we spent the morning in A&E again. Sorry about no BBQ for those that turned up with meat to cook. Sometimes ..it just happens.

    Nice video’s Chris.

    I was hoping to get another flight with the Kobuz HD Digital FPV setup now that I have done a bit more fine tuning.

    Oh well always next time which may be this Saturday 25th (weather dependant).

    I’ll wait till a bit later in the week and see what the weekend weather is looking like.

    The top reading is air speed, the bottom is ground speed, how they are generated ? any ones guess but no doubt at least in part by the GPS

    The ELRS is now set to max 1000mw so that should improve the range somewhat.

    in reply to: Thursday Winter Fly In on a perfect day #21497

    Resize your pics to 1080 if you are having a problem loading them. There is no limit set on the number you load, only the size of them.

    Yes, well almost. I was gliding in to the hilltop and got hit with an updraft. No loss of control, just dropped a bit of height.

    I’ve removed the Artificial Horizon in the OSD as, like you say it does lag a bit.  I’ve got the OSD refresh rates set fairly low so that is probably why.

    Still sorting it all out, as there is quite a learning curve switching from analog to digital.

    Will have to bump the ELRS up to full power now as currently I’m fixed at 500mw max and it looks like a bit over 2k maxes it out with the internal antenna in the plane.

    Will see how it goes next time.

    My final video, all caught up at last.
