Hi Everyone,
Nobody seems to be talking about the Wings & Wheels show this year, even though the event is just around the corner (29th & 30th June).
We at the Brentwood Club will be there to support the event, as we have on previous years.
I do hope we have some good weather this year. Can't seem to get a happy medium, last year was cold, wet & very windy & the year before that, we were cooked under the sun.
Although, given the last year or so, I would prefer to see the sun again!
Anyway, hope to see some of you there.
Neil.

I'm planing to go Neil, see you there!

I will be there with the Model Hovercraft Association we will be there sat and sun lets hope the wind is not as bad as last year
-
The wind was awful last year. I remember being surprised as to the amount of aircraft that actually flew.
I also remember helping the chaps from Leighton Buzzard MBC save their gazebo from destroying itself in the strong gusts!
To give people an idea of how strong the winds were - my children took part in the free rocket launching, during the lunch break.
The rockets were launched from the grass on the far side of the runway, furthest from the all the trade stands.
One of the rockets fired only just landed, on its parachute, within the perimeter boundary of the airfield!
That was over the flightline, over the trade stands & across the car parks behind, it actually hit the perimeter fence & fell inside.
The rockets were meant to land whilst still over the flightline area!
Neil.

Might be a good idea to post a link to the website with all the details :)

Hi Guys,
I am afraid we will not be attending the show this year, my health is all over the place after the failed heart operation last year and a another failed operation this year.
I am due for a third attempt in July this year then hopefully I will be in better shape. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.
Regards
to you all and we do hope that the show goes well.

Good to see both you and Bradders, I brought one of those £2.00 returned helicopters and it works :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
It uses infrared for its controls, but the three small motors in it must be worth more than what I paid.

Many thanks for all the photos Martin.

I have a couple of Videos from the \weekend, any YouTube experts out there?
The videos are rather big 3Gigllebits+, what do I need to do to reduce the size down for Utube?
Martin {:-{
-
they will need re-encoding to a smaller resolution/bitrate
How to do that?
Depends who you ask lol
This one is quite effective for a freebie

It looks a bit like I was filming a horror film and I might have to try again to get the quality up but for a first attempt!....

Is the Video show report idea worth perusing?
..... Anyone?
http://youtu.be/M1TUtymuXd4
-
yes I think so..... just needs one of the Dimblebys doing a voice over :)
That aircraft carrier is something else!... is it seaworthy?
-
What do you think would work as / for a voice over?
-
think of a royal wedding type voiceover %%
"here we see the Fishing vessel x looking respendant in her red and white paint"

Don't be too hard on yourself Martin regarding your camera work, you haven't seen my videos yet! (Link below)

As for voice overs, my son can do that - he comes with a guarantee to wreck the sound on any video.
Which he does quite frequently for me! :}
Neil.
