Quad FPV flying with my new QAV400 is more adrenalin packed than unlimited funds in a house of ill repute!<br />
<br />
Turn this right up, my second FPV flight with this little pocket rocket!<br />

Today i made the leap forward 20 years to join the 2.4 revolution. I bought a Futaba 14SG. I know Martin will be saying 'I told you so' The Tranny has telemetry and S-bus technology what ever that means. I will use on my quads and the gliders and let you know how it goes.... the cost of all this greatness was a mere £400! a billy bargain! Bought from Long Marston RC show today. This Transmitter looks so cool, its sleek and elegant, bit like me, comes with charger receiver and to top it off my dad bought me a case to put it in. I now need to program the Rotmilan in and strip out the meters of aerial running down the fuz and each tail plane!<br />

I got home this evening as fast as I could. This is it. A few pictures taken in the garden. I will get some detailed pictures at a later date.. First impressions are it looks very quick, feels solid and the build / install quality is second to none!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Up against the house. I genuinely love the FOSA. It turns an average flyer like me into someone that can manage a PB of 34.2. The Pitbull looks as though it will have the same straight line turn of speed but with the shorter fuselage and smaller wingspan looks as though it could be more nimble in the turns. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is the first time I have seen a picture of a Baudis Pitbull F3F and to be fair to quote Rob ( which is something I rarely do as he talks a lot of bollocks ) '' It looks quicker than a North Korean missile''. Very topical but I have to say I think it does look good.</span></div>

I have been practising.... This is a HT-FPV frame with the cheapest <a href="http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__24723__Hobbyking_KK2_0_Multi_rotor_LCD_Flight_Control_Board.html">KK2</a> controller on board... This is manual flying unlike all you pussies out there who fly with a Naza (might as well be someone else in control) this takes a bit of practise... take a look at the below!
Turn it up to 13 volume<br />

Round 1. The Wrecker <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Despite poor weather forecasts on both XC and the beeb I decided it was worth the trek to the BWLCH for Round 1 of the BMFA league. Rob decided to give it a miss based on a decision made following studying weather forecasts, its a good job there are no meteorology skills required in his business of master minding commercial balloon flights, as it was a huge mistake to miss this one.</span><br />

I am chuffed to bits with this time and for those of you that know the competitiveness between myself , Robert (<b><u>45.xx</u></b>) and Dumpster (<u><b>36.84</b></u>) you can imagine how the phone calls on the journey home went. One was full of congratulation / praise, the other a little less impressed. I will leave you to work it out which was which!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This was Mark Trebles Needle 100. Early thoughts are it could be a battery failure with a cell giving in, or maybe the Zepsus magnetic switch packing up. We also had a complete failure of a wing joiner / joiner box that resulted in a model disappearing down the side never to be seen again. There were also multiple other flap servos, tailplane feathers etc etc . The conditions were fantastic, but also very extreme. The models really do take a hammering.</span></div>

We even managed to miss what probably was one of the best British F3F events for a long while whereby Abbo managed a run of 28.75 seconds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We will be back on it very soon with this weekend (weather permitting) being the Whitesheet BMFA F3F event followed by Welsh Winter league round 5 the following weekend again weather permitting</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now for a small update... today I received 2 pictures of a new glider that is currently being built ( again Pink) , hopefully it should arrive in the next 3 weeks. I think first impressions are '' what a beauty!"</span><br />

Wiltshire... if not the Universe (within a 30 mile radius of my house)
So was no surprise to find a whole load of freaks and strange types
prepared to spend 4 hours on a cold hill in Feb.<br />

<br />
Lots of maidens too.. Marks 'New Sting' flew beautifully and joins the 'Big Sting' and 'Sting' of models he has owned. Not a creature of habit Mark. We also had a Electric Typhoon and a Carbon Blade. <br />

Dumpster looking very happy, normally his maidens are very dramatic and end in disaster. His Electric Typhoon did not buck the trend. To say we are a little weary of that prop is an understatement. What with Daves dodgy programming not knowing how to turn the motor on or off, and his obsession with 'firmware' upgrades to his transmitter, which rendered it alien to him, it was amazing it actually flew! But it did with the usual cussing and swearing from him and went like the clappers. Martin reckons we wont see it again.. think i agree!<br />
<br />
I had over 10gb of footage and had to whittle down to 4 mins, so apologise if you ended on the cutting room floor.. but that's life. Kick the wife, kids, dogs and cats out.. turn up to 11 volume!<br />

I've been busy upgrading hardware on the zeph, all in the name of safety ;)<br />
<br />
First upgrade was a 14dbi patch. i have been running on an 8dbi patch but wanted to explore 'further' possibilities with flight distance. This is mounted on EZ tracker, so i have constant tracking. due to weight of dish had to upgrade servos in pan and tilt gimbal. Now have a couple of 9kg servos operating the tracking!<br />
<br />
<br />

Second upgrade was a UHF radio, in my case a very nifty unit that plugs directly in the back of a futaba tranny (courtesy of Bobster Bill) in the trainer port. All i can say is... Bloody brilliant! Rock solid so far up to <i>XX</i> Kms! If i was to recommend a UHF system i would recommend a certain American manufacture, with an affinity for welsh mythical creatures.... Lastly fed up with catching half my plane in the HD footage i made a new GOPRO/FPV camera housing that sits at the front of my Zeph (I had to abandon the beautiful carbon fibre first one i built as i forgot the negative effects carbon has on range.

This was supposed to be a nice article about our 3rd round Welsh F3F comp... however due to weather it was binned. So we meet 0800 at my house and go to the Secret FPV training ground... for some training!<br />

... and boy do we need it!<br />
<br />
Yesterday Martin proved the prowess of his long range Quad. Basically pointed it in one direction, hit the gas and held on tight! The 'return to home' switch on his transmitter is starting to wear down to a stub due to use the big girl.....<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Unfortunately the wind and snow on the blades had a negative effect on the video quality ( Jello effect) but it is still pretty good given the condition.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We rocked up at 8.30, should have been there 20 minutes earlier but somebody had typed the wrong post code into the Sat Nav, and it wasn't me. Dumpster arrived just after us, apparently he doesn't use a sat nav he follows his nose?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyway we go out of the cars and there was a brisk NNE wind, and I can confirm it was absolutely freezing. As a result I was reluctant to take my hands out of my gloves and take any pictures or video. This has resulted in a short and not very sweet post</span></div>

Rob would do long range with his zephyr and I would keep it a bit closer with my Quad that now has been FPV'd up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Unfortunately weather conditions ( visibility 30 metres ) put pay to his zephyr but my quad with the option of ''return to home'' took alot of the risk out, so it was mission on.</span></div>

Happy Christmas everyone... well i hope every one got what they wanted. Personally i was after a JR 2.4 transmitter system, or i would even suffer a Graupner MC20 2.4. Well you wont believe it, i had a pressie exact right dimensions, it was to good to be true.... and it was to good to be true, OH well!</div>

Martin was hoping for a sense of humour, quite frankly we all were! alas this was not to be either... so another year of ginger retardness unfortunately. The Zumerzet Guys all have TBS discovery Quads to build, Bobster from England's Hemorrhoid has a Willow to rebuild after an unfortunate accident on the Bill. Rumpster has a bumper batch of bog roll for xmas so he's happy as a pig in shit... well a pig that can clean himself up that is!</div>

SlopeJunkies has almost been going a year, we hope 2013 will be as much fun as this year, Martin is desperate to do well in F3F bless him, i cant wait to try out my new long range UHF radio, FPV quad flying might take the spot light i predict, as well as more trips to the bill. </div>

With 40mph winds Portland Bill had to be the place... Bobster said it would be Epic, he was not wrong. After repairing my Rotty i was a little apprehensive however it did not take me long to stress test the glider. With 1.7kg's of ballast on board, you could say that it was fun!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Popped out mid week for a quick fly at Westbury. Dumpster was around but was unable to fly his needle 124 as he has a dodgy MKS servo in this as well as a dodgy MKS servo in his Aris. He did however have his new ASW something, I think he said 19</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A quick vid of his first flight and me doing a few laps with the Fosa. All the while Rob was sweating it away in his office blowing up balloons </span><br />

Getting there with the stabilisation, no Jello this time, still some work to do. I think one of the motor shafts is bent causing vibration, doing the laser/mirror balancing over the next few days... Quadzilla though goes from strength to strength.<br />

I went to the F3F Welsh Winter League Round 1. I was due to go with Rob and the Dumpster. As usual Rob cried off as he had been to work 6 days in a row so was knackered and Dave had some stamps to lick.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Arrived at the BWLCH 9.30 to a completely flat calm day, not a breath of wind. By 11 the wind had picked up to somewhere between 10 and 20mph. We were at the back of the wrecker and the competition was on</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Apart from Robs, this is the only other Rotmilan I have seen. Gary Harrison had this one on rails and came a well deserved 4th. Rob would benefit from a Gary Harrison masterclass.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Results.... I managed 13th out of 19. Clearly a lot of room for improvement but I felt I was starting to get to grips with it so I reckon a few more races and I will start to make some progress. </span><br />

A little jello effect, but that will be easy to shift with a bit of dampening. Also the blades needed to be balanced... broke 3 props so no amount of balancing will help them now!!! <br />
A fantastic flight, reason for branch chaffing is i lost video signal behind some trees, the problem with 5.8ghz, but well worth it!<br />
