It was minispares and yeah they were very helpful, I have my wish list already set up for when I have some more money. And nope I was near the beginning of row 6. I turned up bang on 5 sunday morning although as it was first time I missed the turning into CP so looked a fool having to turn round lol

A couple of guys in our club made their own but the same thing happened. They got bored of them quickly. They have both admitted that it was more fun to build them than it is to fly them.

I was more thinking from a photography/videography point of view - I've recently seen a short video of Southend comprising of a load of cool aerial panning shots using one. I saw the quadcopter at Crystal Palace and the footage from it and it looks great! So much video/photography I could do with one of those!

Yeah, we are planning to use it for photography and video, not purely fun

461-mile round trip for L2B, no problem. 2 hrs later I go to the shop and the wiper rack snaps!

I want to be at home fitting my newly-purchased bits to my engine. Work is a real inconvenience!!

Surely a road closure / diversion for non mini run traffic to get us out of CP isn't too much to ask for. 1 day of the year

what happened?

Didn't think crystal palace was organised, and could have had a bit of entertainment, when I finally got out in the there was only 1 mini infront of me who went their own way so no convoy for me until the last little stretch. And to top it off I didn't get back till 4am thanks to a suspected head gasket.

Yep - not much convoy for me either until nearer Brighton as was late to leave CP. Will know for next time though! Great time when we got there....
