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!!.
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.
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.
All Good, we all learn more from our mistakes than we do from always getting it right. I believe Stephen smoothed any ruffled feathers when he met with James to unlock the gate.
Have to start looking at the forecast for our next day out.
It was a good turnout today with nine pilots from memory all flying various aircraft.
The 11:00am start certainly was far warmer than it was at 10:00am on Monday but with a slight breeze it was still chilly.
Our videographer (and chef extraordinaire) Kermit was unable to attend again today so we just had to make the best of it.
I did notice a few flying things with cameras today so hopefully there will be some good posted video coverage.
I shot a bit with the Handicam & had 4 different cameras on various planes so it may take a while to edit it all and get it posted.Ok, we’ll make it Thursday, from memory Stephen is not available Friday’s either.
I’ll message James & put up the calendar for 11:00am Thursday 9th
Both Thursday (9th) & Friday (10th) look like they could be acceptable for flying again this week, wind is the same both days with gusts slightly higher on Friday but Friday is the warmer of the two but only by 1 degree
If there is enough interest I’ll put up the calendar for an 11:00am start on which ever day suits the majority
