[northernmonkey]

Right guys, don't you think it's about time we had a flying meet?
There's a few of us from tup north so what's stopping us.

Be good to get info on kit etc...
Not sure of flying spot, suggestions?

Cheers
Mike

I'm York, you're Sheffield, James is RHR, Andy and Neal are Leeds, Jimmy is Huddersfield, Colinvan is Manchester
Anyone else?

[andys]

Lets get it sorted

Where is 'middle ground' for us all?

Would be good to see other people's setup's - especially before I buy any FPV gear!

[Col]

Middle ground in map form is wakefield...
My problem is I can't do weekends or evenings

[Colinevan]

Fabulous idea,

What happens in flight club stays in flight club lol.. Credit cards strictly not aloud

I'm quite flexible around work and childcare being covered and working for the good old nhs I have random days off here and there and can forward plan to have a meetup virtually any day.

Im based near Bury so would be happy to meet up somewhere mutual.

Bring it on.

Col.

Can do any day with a little notice. I'm more Barnsley. Ten mins from j37 m1 (west).
Huddersfield/Wakefield could be good?

Castle hill (Huddersfield) is a cracking flying spot during the week (less people) great scenery.

I'm up for it, just a bit busy this week with the newborn ;-)

[Colinevan]

Congrats Neal !!

It doesnt seem that long since my newborn was born. He's 15 months old and luckily he Loves the quads esp the hubsan x4 he he.

[northernmonkey]

Neal, the first 6 months is the easy part!! Make the most of it.

So... next week guys? lets try and sort a day?

[andys]

Congratulations Neal

Re meet - my car (real one) is out of action 1st half of the week, so i'd be struggling this week.

[Colinevan]

I'm off for the next 3 days then in for 3 and then have 2 weeks of annual leave so im good for a meetup virtually anytime.

If anything I can at least get advice on radio setup plus would be good to put faces to names.

Col.

[northernmonkey]

[Colinevan]

Cheers Andy. I could always give you a lift if you are stuck. As Mike has said, weather is a bit rubbish right now anyway. Some clear dry cold days will be fine though.

[northernmonkey]

This Thursday is a sun day!
I will be flying, think Colin May be up for it? Anybody free?

When and where? I'll try to juggle work and make it.

[northernmonkey]

Not sure, middle ground somewhere? Castle hill is a cracking spot if it's not windy.

[James]

I know RHR isn't quite as impressive as Castle Hill but we do have our own facilities there - toilets/coffee-tea making and shelter and power, plus there are some decent pubs in Blyth for a debrief afterwards. Should be able to get Simon from flybys/mfpv first person view Facebook page along too as he's only 10 mins away, he was telling me about going to Iceland the other week filming thermal imaging by quad for Sheffield uni, pretty awesome!
One Saturday perhaps?
Or could move around each time, what about a monthly thing?

[northernmonkey]

Saturdays are sometimes a problem for me with having to battle with my two girls. Could bring one of them with me I suppose.
Sounds like a good plan though, What I want to know though James is, have you got a tbs disco
How much land we got to play with James? (For fpv flying)

Still up for this Thursday flying

[James]

I'll have a new pro with all brand new gear this weekend
