Taken on the weekend with my Avata 2

I thought you were going to make it through the hole in the sculpture
A bit too dull that day too see along the path through the trees, at the end, wasn't it.
But you did score a goal - albeit from the wrong side of the net

Nice location for some exploring and FPV flying.

I was very, very tempted but couldn't see if the drone would crash into it.

The end was a little scary as someone started to appear from the darkness of the wood so I reversed and flew off lol I think that is what cinewhoops are actually designed to do more than flips in the air. It was fun with the MC3 - I did a manual flight too though

All good practice though, wasn't it

Cheers DA. I think the Avata 2 is still a keeper for me

Pleased you're back on track as you were on the fence there it seemed.

Very much so but when you finally get it in the air you remember why you bought it in the first place. I'll have some more time on my hands for a while so can get back into it.

It depends on the school as some returned yesterday, a lot today and some later in the week.

I have a Gt Grandson starting school tomorrow and I can remember my first day in primary, but ask me what I watched on TV last night.......... no, cannot remember!

No doubt it was a lot more fun to just "cruise" around.  Although doing acro maneuvers can be fun also but definitely a bit more stress on the pilot to pull off successfully.  Or maybe it's not fun for the pilot but it is fun to see the footage.

That is very typical. I can remember my first day at school in 1979 but short term is nowhere near as sharp

A J Posted at 9-3 08:46

It certainly is.  Had to take the brolly every time I went outside today.  Hoping for some sun tomorrow.

1979. By then, I had completed 12 years in Her Majesty's Royal Air Force. Originally signed on for 5, served 22. Would do it all again given the chance.

Wow - that's a serious stint Yogi and takes balls to serve in any armed force

A J Posted at 9-4 01:15
Fingers crossed for you

Thanks AJ.  Those crossed fingers must have worked as it did clear up for the afternoon.  Today's forecast looks better - sunny, light breeze and high of only 34C.

Good to hear mate

Fromm what DAFlys and Bleriot are posting seems your country is already experiencing an early Autumn.  I hope that doesn't lead to a colder and longer winter than usual.

Biggest storm conditions I've seen in a long time last night - lightning strikes that made me feel I was living inside a firework display. Quite worrying mate.

I just saw this on the international news.  The winter of 2024/2025 is shaping up to be one of the most challenging in recent years for the UK. With the likelihood of colder temperatures, increased snowfall, and heightened storm activity, it's advisable to prepare for a more severe winter season than usual.

Nice one AJ - Nice place to fly . I always enjoy your videos. I'm always envious of you folks with old vacant buildings to fly around

Cheers Jazz - this field is on the other side of England to where I live - I was visiting family nearby.

Snowball fight

That could be at least one positive to come out of a super cold and snow winter.

ive got both, personally didnt even use the mc3 after opening it, but should i try it out? I usually practice with a sperate fpv controller on uncrashed sim so never thought i would use the mc3

Nice one Andy!

nice video, and nice location!

i did not expect to like the motion controller 3 as much as i do.....
I love the way it makes the video look really dynamic!

With the fpv controller in N or S mode the camera stays pretty much horizontal along the Y Axis, and this is not pleasant to fly....
In M mode you don't have this "issue", but i don't fly M mode that often.... because of what i wrote above ;)

The guy coming out of the forest with a stick - scary

Probably the only one but I try to stay positive in a very negative world
