Great stuff Dave... thanks for putting that together. I'm going to make a more conscious effort next meet to video document it, so we have more to share with the wider diydrones community (and a record of our crashes)! ;)

Great to hear about a Melbourne meet up group. When are you meeting next? It would be great to meet up with fellow quadcopter/UAV enthusiast.

Well done Dave! The video was very entertaining :)

Edris and I are looking forward to our next meet up and seeing how everyone goes with autonomous mode.

@Adric - Welcome! I see you've joined the Melbourne group so you probably already know, but our next meetup is planned for the 10th of Feb. Looking forward to meeting you if you can make it.

Waaat? Didn't realise there was a Melbourne group. I'll bring my groundstation trailer on the 10th.

It's nearly finished now.

Very nice Phil... that reminded me of the caravan we had for Aerosonde field tests... extra long, gutted out and housed a complete flight management room and a workshop. Air conditioned of course... it just lacked a decent fridge!

You must remember to include a fridge in your build! An Esky just doesn't cut it when you're out on a hot day.

Thanks for the comments guys - it was a bit of fun pulling it together and hopefully next time we can get more footage of everyone. (:

@ Phil and Adric, more information about the next meet will be on the Melbourne Group Page by the end of the weekend, so check it out there.  (:
