Flying across the sea: Calais-Dover v.v. 2018
Posted: 07 Apr 2018, 10:44
Yes, the plans are there.
But we don't have a date. As yet.
Could be tomorrow already (April 8th), depending on the availabilty of the boat that carries the team with their transmitters across. The crew that does the take off, takes the next ferry and the landing team (I might be one of them) gets up early and takes the first ferry and waits on the cliff top....
The boat developed a technical problem yesterday but it should be OK by now, but if not next possible dates will be: April 14th, 21th or May 5th.
Here's the plan ( it's in Dutch, I'm sorry): http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/th ... st-3877406
The retro part is that we're flying scaled up vintage FF designs this time and next year a 50% scale Bleriot.
The RC is done in a relay. One Tx off, the next on. All controlled and confirmed through handheld portos.
That's why we're using 35MHz, or else controling through different Txes wouldn't be possible.

Edit: Boat's OK, I'm leaving for Bleriot Plage now...... Tomorrow (if the weather still permits) will be The Day.
