Got the new front (or is it rear) case 3D design finished and printed for the VISOR X HD Digital FPV goggles finished & fitted.
Just need to make up a battery lead. The short HDMI to mini HDMI lead is on order and should only be a few more days.
Oh, and I printed a spare one cos I’m sure Neil will be upgrading to digital once he tries mine out.
Hopefully weather will clear up soon.
Kermit, you need to get your facts straight before posting, especially when posting on behalf of someone else.
Greg is not and never has been the owner of the property on which we fly. He is a lessee (for want of a better word) and it was as lessee that he kindly let us fly for many years.That is no longer the situation, whilst Greg still runs a few sheep & I think cattle on the property, the property is now managed by James on behalf of the owners.
Whilst you (and Ross) may well be correct in that the owners property insurance covers any persons legally on the land we as a group have undertaken, first with Greg and then with James that we will ALL carry our own public liability insurance for the purpose of flying rc planes etc at the said property.
That was agreed by all parties when we started flying there many years ago. The only change is that because of changes to how Public Liability insurance is now handled by some insurance companies we needed to change to a new insurer which now costs us $50.00 per annum. This was also agreed to by all parties that replied to my notifications of same.
Simply get insured or don’t fly.
Finally got around to re printing my Zero after the fly away mishap a few months ago with the first one.
In case you didn’t know I accidentally flew into the sun and lost sight of it. Had no idea where it was so just powered it down and used the ELRS tracking signal to find it.
It was a long walk but finding it was easy with the tracking signal. Unfortunately it looked like it had clipped a tree on the way down. Easier to re print than repair.
This time I’ll add a FC with return to home as being a small plane (and quite fast) I wouldn’t want to lose another one.
Anyway the reprint was quick & easy as I already had all the files modified & saved for the Bambu X1C printer.
I re used the nose cone & canopy and re printed the rest.
G’day Chris, nice to hear you are well & still flying.
Unfortunately the last couple of decent flying days as proposed by Seaside Mitch didn’t eventuate due to time constraints.
We are currently flying back at the Shearing Shed field whilst the Property manager sorts out the gates off Rifle Range Rd ready for their soon to be Public opening of the Distillery.
At least we have our own keys for the Shearing Shed access.
Will be looking forward to our next flying day as I’ve just upgraded the FPV system on my Kobuz glider to Walksnail Digital 4K FPV and once the final bits turn up I’ll be dead keen to try it out.
Looking forward to catching up in July. Hope the weather is flyable !!
A quick test video from the back yard
Sorry guys, been a bit busy & only just got around to checking the forum.
Yes, a bit late now but hopefully next week the weather will be better.
Another fine video from Toad Hall Productions.
Definitely caught all the action from around the field today Mr Kermit.
Now we just need to get you back to flying, hopefully the new glasses will improve things eh!
G’day Pete, if you ever get lonely at sailing you are always most welcome to drop down to the flying field (not far from the canal) and come in for a chat and/or a BBQ lunch.
Mike
With Hoppy returned to the Phillipines (for the Aussie winter) and Kermit off on sick leave we are a bit light on in the video department this week, but at least Neil (with grateful assistance of Sinker) did make an effort to get a couple of pics on his phone.
