+Brett Collis And thanks for taking part, it was great to see such a competitive final, shame you crashed but you had to go for it to be in with a chance of winning.

Great compilation of the day Richard and well attended. I think you're on the map now and might even have a go myself next time....

[@ycopter]

And thanks for helping, you must have a go next time.

[@JimCounsell]

Captures the day really well - looking forward to the next Delta Hawks event.

+JimCounsell Thanks Jim, are you hooked on FPV racing now?

[@JimCounsell]

+ycopter Yes I can see what all the fuss is about now with the minis.

[@CurryKitten]

Did not realise you were behind this - nice one. Good that Martin got third as I don't think I've seen him make a full lap before... but at least he's fully committed :) Question on some of the gates though, the non-height restricted ones seemed like they could be cut, or flown over high so you couldn't tell if the path followed was correct - what was the rule involved in these (loved the tunnel BTW)

[@ycopter]

+CurryKitten Yes Martin did well well, I was chasing him all day in the heats! You can fly as high as you want but can't cut the inside turn flags, there really is no advantage in flying high as that is not the fastest line. The rules are still emerging but fortunately everyone is honest and goes back if they miss a gate. We have a spotter for each pilot and their role was to monitor race position and feed information back to race control.

[@B4dlands]

Oh very nice Rich - captures the day perfectly (and tell CurryKitten how many times I crashed during the day!! (only once) ) rofl :-) :-)

[@ycopter]

Thanks, perhaps CK will race next time!
