For Sale

Keep your eye on the LMAC 'For Sale' page over the next couple of weeks. There are one or two nice models going to be listed there along with various accessories.

Warbirds Galore

The Warbirds were out in force on Sunday 2nd June and Colin Wilson was able to capture some (as usual) stunning shots.  Click on the picture below to see the full set.

Great work Colin and thanks for submitting these.

Old meets New

A couple of weeks back, Matt Chamberlain was given special permission by the club and Pete Catlow to hover over the Control Line circle to capture the following video.  The video shows Pete flying his control line Twister which is being captured on video by Matt flying FPV with his DJI 450 Quad Copter.

On a Control Line note, Andy Green entered the Bowden Competition at the FF NATS and came 11th out of a field of 40. Well done Andy and we look forward to seeing you back at Gumley very soon.

Wednesday evening flying (and eating Pizza!)

Over the past couple of summers (if you can call them summers!), a few LMAC members have generally met at the field for a spot of mid-week flying on a Wednesday evening from about 17:30 on wards.  We usually try and pack a couple of hours in and fly up to 9pm.   It's not an exclusive meet and is open to all members. To make an evening of it, we generally bring a pizza and cook and eat this in between flights!

We hope to see some of you join us over the summer weeks!  Remember your Pizza's though!

Two unlikely visitors to the flying field!

Matt Chamberlain's new DJI 450 Quadcopter equipped with the Naza controller board got it's maiden FPV flight on Wednesday evening.  Whilst flying FPV, Matt spotted two objects in the lower left corner of the field (not visible from the flight line). The video footage from the On Screen Display shows what he found!

We later managed to heard the two visitors back to their home, but 20 minutes later they were back and Howard was informed!

As can be seen from the video, the Quad is incredibly versatile and stable and it was a shame the ground station recorded the video in Black and White.  Matt's currently waiting for a special camera gimbal which will carry the HD GoPro camera and enable him to tilt the camera to look directly down whilst the aircraft sits in GPS altitude hold!  All very technical stuff!

Another Indoor booked for 18th May 2013 at 8pm

Following another great turn out on Saturday 20th April (19 of us), again due to popular demand another event has been booked for Saturday 18th May 2013 at 8pm.

Given we have made some money over the past three events, I'm happy to report that we have enough in the coffers to offer the May event at £1 each * ( * for those who have attended 2 or more of the previous indoor sessions at Parklands).

A reminder will be sent out closer to the date.

Once again thanks for all your continued support, at this rate it will be running year round!
