Would have turned out for that but I'm away in Cyprus.

It was a good flight however there was allot of interference from the signal towers which where close by.. we ended up going to Beacon country park and we all flew to Wallthrew park, heres some pictures (attached)
I also tried the fixed wing mode...bit weird but it is fun!

Let me know when you're out next. I get back on 27/7. Do you have the DJI goggles? I have got the Epson BT300 if you fancy a go with them.

I was wondering about interference issues up there..

Who's "we" by the way?

I've havn't seen those before.. remind me of the google glasses they trialed a few years back... how are they with the Mavic??

Yeah.. the other Mavic didn't experience any issues but i did annoyingly!

I fly often with two other friends, both have Phantom 2's and one of them has just upgraded to a Mavic

I really like them, but I guess it's each to his own. I do prefer to fly with them

It's likely to be a week day evening as I work in Chester

Last time I went by, it was painted black and looked pretty dismal. All the graffiti and rusting that made it an interesting subject had gone.
Has anything changed?

Not a problem. Let me know a time and meeting point as I don't know the area. I'll come on my bike to get through the traffic [emoji106]

@Ted903
@everybody
So its looking like either Wednesday or Thursday next week we're going to the Duke weather depending I'll update closer the date..

there is also Flint castle down the road that we could also fly

postcode of a local business is CH8 9DX... just a matter of finding parking.. prob not a problem for you @Nigpd on your bike..

I'm sure it wasn't black a few weeks ago but I may be wrong.. only got a glance of it as I drove past..

does anybody on here live local to check?

Just googled it and found an article back in April... looks like the Graffiti has gone but I think it could still be an interesting subject to fly... and I'm sure there is graffiti on it again by now

Is that the site where the "Fun ship" used to be?
