I noticed in other videos that people flying through woods tend to be in areas where the branches are higher up:)

Yeah they do. Im just a bit limited at this field and i wasn't prepared too go any further afield with the weather being as it is. Maybe this week the weather will buck up while im not in work.

Here's the last pack of the day. This location is to the side of the woods in the previous video There is a nice entry to the woods from the field, This could be my new FPV flying field, 10 mins from home, woodland and open ground what more could i ask for (apart form no wind and 23 degrees all year round).

Good fun huh.
Once those trees get a few leaves on them it will get easier to see those little twiggy bits.

Yeah ive been thinking that. im just a bit tired of flying the same field stam, theres only so many time i can fly around those goal posts.

Theres another place that im going to go and have a look at tomorrow, another small woodland hopefully it will be ok too.

Yeah it's hard to find a place with just the right amount of trees in just the right conditions close enough so it doesn't take ages to get there.

ive spent quite some time on google maps looking for places not too far. i few that have looked ok on maps havent been any good when ive got there (2 hour round trip last weekend), well not with my current skill level anyway.

Thanks G, just pushing myself as hard as i can.

Im looking forward to ripping the sky up in the summer, so im trying to hone my skills ready for the sun (i can live in hope)

Post by **danhampson** » Tue Mar 03, 2015 11:57 pm

Not mad, just addicted.

I've just cleared out the broken props from my prop box. I used 9 yesterday but still have plenty to be going on with. I'll be placing my fortnightly order for some more on Friday (another 20 pairs).

it's looking like a no fly card today, it's pouring down and windy.

Addicted is an under statement, all I think about these days is blood FPV.

Nice Dan, trying to set up a bulk buy from Phil at MakeItBuildIt, but he's waiting on prices at the moment,

Lee · Post by **Lee** » Wed Mar 04, 2015 7:32 pm

Just listened to Charpu on Flitetest Podcast. He goes out flying with a backpac full of props.
Guess thats why he's so good

Post by **danhampson** » Wed Mar 04, 2015 7:54 pm

You must have to crash one of these really hard to break it, the props are the weak point (thats a good thing).

I did get out for a cheeky flight. only got the one pack in due to loosing light.
