  1. Still enjoy mine - I always take in on holiday as it is small and neat (although the Eachine TX16S transmitter I use for it isn't) Once you get used to it you can have a blast - get it low and then give it full speed forwards so it drops until it just skims the ground then as you slow it will aotomatically pull up - great fun. Full speed spirals work well too (full rudder / tail rotor) reducing throttle to let it spiral down. Note that it turns differently in each direction so get used to left and right hand circuits as they are quite different. I will finish my review one day - totally forgot about it with everything else going on! For those that want to fly a bigger heli with ease see my channel where I show my ALZRC X360 helicopter flying hands off with a H1 GPS flight controller - it will even flip inverted at the flick of a switch and still sit there hands off!
  2. No - just 800feet up so we get a lot fly by low ... often we look down on the top wings of things going past or stuff just sceams across in front of us .. these are both from my back garden😁
  3. Just had a lovely flypast my house - really low and slow
  4. They are escorig and refuelling the B1Bs that are coiming over - keep your eyes peeled for those ... should be 2 of them .. will be going into Fairford at about 4pm
  5. I am selling my EX4 Pro (longer range version) as it is time for a change now that I have acheived everything I can with it I am in Shropshire in the UK but as no batteries will be included I could post it anywhere so PM me if you want a postage quote. This is a specially converted one as featured in my YouTube Video shown below so please watch all of that to see what makes this special. It comes complete with its proper Eachine bag, the drone with full 3S 2200mah conversion, USB conversion, shielded GPS, External compass, transmitter, phone holder, spare props, gimbal cover, converted charger for balance charger attachment (if you have original batteries you wish to use) plus the original charger board. Fully tuned via Mission Planner and setup for a 3S 2200mah LiPo. Includes everything in the photos apart from my phone and the 3S LiPo! This is exactly as it was in my YouTube video If you are interested or need a postage quote PM me - looking for about £120 for this unique drone that uses nice cheap 3S 2200mah LiPos. Thanks, Mark
  6. As a Metal Detectorist this has been causing quite a stir with everyone jealous that they have a much bigger detecting coil than ours!! 😂
  7. Only just over my house!! A400 very low - that is my roof in the bottom right of the second picture.
  8. Had him go right over me today - plus 3 Harvards / Texans. I think they are all over for an event at Sleap Airfield.
  9. This weeks notable flybys so far .. great place to live!
  10. Amazing day today as an A400 came over with a Globemaster in very close formation just inderneath it. 6000ft and hazy but did catch it .. and again on the return leg after it had done its stuff off the coast of Wales. Sounds like it was doing a photo shoot of the Globemaster.. amazing!
  11. Been a lot flying very low around my house recently - love it! Sorted a tripod out now to get more stable videos (it was freezing and very windy when I took these) and an even better lens on the way for the photos.
  12. I had a real treat on Wednesday night. I heard a fairly loud helicopter but nothing on 360 radar for it so I popped out with my camera. Nice blue Westland Augusta coming fairly low across the field just to the left of my house .. started getting some pictures and gave it a wave too. He apparently spotted me! He threw it hard across towards me and then the side doors came open with someone kneeling in the doorway then ... came nice and low right over me twice then did a S shape flight away from me, doors closed and off he went. I was totally made up! Super experience..and just for me ? Shot inside to upload the pictures to my laptop and check the reg number ... PH-PXZ .... Netherlands Police!! Great experience and really was "Flying over my house" ... you can see the roof and ridge tiles in a couple of the shots. I haven't had chance to work on the RAW picture files but pretty sure I will be able to get some really nice pictures .... there are obviously a lot more than just these ?
  13. Bulldog just came back at 2700ft - managed to capture him this time
  14. Bulldog just went over - I see that there look to be 3 Spits, a Hurricane and a P47 heading Exeter way at the moment
  15. DC3 has just taken back off heading South again - ZA947 - towards RAF Linton at the moment. Spitfires are further off now - one near Milton Keynes, one near Conningsby
