Mark Evans Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Aiming to attend at least the Saturday and flying the comp on the Sunday is a maybe. I ended up with a light layup plane to get back into flying which will be interesting, might be completely useless for most normal conditions so will be interesting to see how it flies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusMartin Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Quite new to DLG and really interesting in attending this as it seems much more suitable for beginners. Might be a big ask.... but is anyone travelling up from Devon/Cornwall/South Somerset who might be able to share the journey/fuel/give me a lift? Hopefully Fri/Sat & Sun.

Lidl sometimes do 5s 1.3Ah lipos on their special days. (Branded Ying-Tong - easy to split into single cells). Must be a model flyer in the organisation.

Riccardo Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 As a relative (self-taught) novice I'd like to attend the event on Saturday, and also to bring along a friend who's interested in trying DLG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Fri/Sat & Sun. Martin, I think Mark mentioned my name in the RCGroups thread you started. I'm in Frome, so a bit further North than ideal but I will be heading up on Friday afternoon or after work. I'll PM you with my number. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
