  I'm a starter for Tuesday. 

  Regards collecting MO - I'm coming in from Heidelberg. Google has told me that this is the route - so not far out of the way to get to St Kilda Rd.    Anyone else going past closer?

  Hi Everyone,

  So it turns out that I most likely have to go away on Wednesday and Thursday this week for other business. Michael Oborne is in Melbourne from tomorrow until Thursday and it's a great opportunity to organise a meeting with him (for those of you who don't know him, he's the man behind the APM Mission Planner). I know it's short notice but I think its best that we do something at our factory in Yarraville this Tuesday evening from about 5:30pm. Does that suit everyone?

  @Michael O - Are you still keen to meet-up? Can you make that time?

  @Everyone - Everyone is welcome to come and see our factory. We have a few cool machines (3D Printer, Vacuum forming and small router) as well as a bunch of mess (we do general engineering as well) and a few top secret products on the go (which we might have to hide).

  I would like to know how many people are coming??? and it would be good if everyone could wear appropriate clothing (mainly closed toe shoes).

  Our factory is located at 175 Stephen Street, Yarraville (there's a "Bask" sign above the door).

  Our "test facility" (local park) is also quite close and can be used if people want to do some laps of the sky?

  For anyone new to the whole flying game, it's also an opportunity to ask us and your fellow DIYers questions you might have. Edris and I will brush up on our understanding of APM Autonomy so that we can better answer questions related to that (our next major flying meetup is scheduled to be an autonomy fun day - See the discussion above).

  I think thats it really? If you have any questions you can always contact me at d.skinner@baskindustries.com or on my mobile 0412 492 340.

  We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday night. (Please let me know if you're coming)

  Cheers, David

  - Mike = Are you going to have access to transport?

  The Bask guys are just over the Westgate bridge on the western side. Suspect car / taxi is the only way.
  I can't do Monday but clear for remainder of the week.

  - and our cabin is in Briar Hill - we consider it more Eltham than Greensborough. Day job has me in Heidelberg.

  G'day Ivan!

  So just a quick query, since we've basically tripled the groups membership in a week...

  (1) Where is everyone located?

  and

  (2) How many are interested in joining in with our meetups?

  I guess the timing is best coordinated around when MO is available.

  If it's an evening then Tuesday would be okay for me... it's only a problem during the daytime.
