Another newbie from Scotland

[Low Flying Scotsman]

Hi everyone, there's not a lot for me to say at the moment as I don't even have my Phantom yet. I ordered it today, a PA3 plus spare battery, and it should arrive tomorrow. Here's hoping for decent weather at the weekend!

Hi low flying Scotsman Ian sure you are going to have a blast. Can always read through the manuals online so you are all ready before you get it

Weather is great here in Fife just now. Just hoping it lasts to the weekend. Where you from LFS?

Hi guys,

I'm in Glasgow and, believe it or not, it's a beautiful sunny day! Cold and crisp, no wind - just as I like it.

Well since I last posted things have perked up here considerably on the Cromarty Firth.... might get out to overfly an old fish trap in the bay after all - once the tide drops...

Hello. Another Fifer here from Dunfermline.

Thanks fin. Where exactly is the meet? I'd love to get some idea what to expect.

This will also be my first meet so I am in kinda the same boat as you. The meet is at Ravenscraig park, Kirkcaldy, Fife at 1pm. Its just a get together of a few Facebook groups. Its not just Phantoms that will be there. There's meant to be a few different drones to have a look at. One of the Facebook groups I am on is called Scottish Multirotors. have a wee look when you get a chance.

I am also going to join a club called Kinross Radio Model Flying Club. It has all sorts of RC's from Helicopters, plains to drones. Will be good for meeting people with similar interests.

 

[StevieStarr]

I was a member of KRFC a few years back. Mostly flying gliders and some others. What's your real name if you don't mind me asking? I'll have an ask around when I get there. (I'm shortish, bald and 60, will have on a dark blue jacket) Will check out Scottish Multirotors.

 

[StevieStarr]

Wedderburn Airforce.

They look great. My real name is Finlay, I will have my 2 Border Collie dogs with me at Kirkcaldy as its a good park for them to have a run around.

 

[fin032]

Will be heading up to Kinross on Sunday.

 

[StevieStarr]

Good stuff neeb, I won't miss you with the dugs. Here's a quick link to a landing at Kinross with my Skyeasy glider. Great fun with that wee thing.

I bet the drone is much easier to fly than the glider. What Phantom do you have?
