021 FT Europe Meetup & Events

by FliteTest | April 8, 2014 | (25) Posted in Podcasts

Admittedly, this podcast was pretty off the cuff but we had a lot of fun recording it! We talked about upcoming and recent events as well as our FliteTest meet up in Europe that is coming up in late June.

FliteTest EUROPE MEETUP June 25th or June 26th

Please leave us a comment if it is possible for you to attend. 
This will help us plan for an amount of people that will be there. The sooner we can do this, the sooner we can secure a more specific location.

Thank you! Comment below.
 

T-Shirt Design Contest!

Help us design an awesome T-Shirt for our road trip in June! We are going to use them to hand out to people we meet along the way, wear them in the episode we shoot along the way and hopefully make them available for purchase at the Europe FliteTest meetup. Guidelines:

1. Must include FliteTest and Immersion RC logos.
2. T-Shirt must be black (or the background needs to be black).
3. Include a name for the trip that is an alternative to "FliteTest/ImmersionRC European Road Trip and Meetup. (Lets be honest, that doesn't roll off the tongue well!)

The selected design winner will receive an awesome variety prize package of Immersion, Fat Shark and FliteTest products.

Submit designs to: austin@flitetest.com 

The RV patiently waiting for us to finish our podcast to take us to SEFF. ;)

Would definitely make the trip down there. Are you guys thinking Monaco? Could get some spectacular tricopter shots there.

Great podcast guy's. Try out the Lectron Pro Batteries by Common Sense RC, when you get to testing out batteries. I'm running a 25C 2S 850 mAH on my 3 pack swappables.

Hello Flitetest.

I really plan to meet you in June, and my holidays are planned to start 27th, in France, in the Provence (my parents have a house close to the sea coast, if you need a place to stay for a day or two, I may be able to help). I should be able to stretch a little bit my holidays to make them start earlier.

But where exactly do you plan to be ? The "Provence" is a big area in France.

See you soon !
Nicolas

I saw that dragon in Popular Science. Did you know that it uses a system similar to David's afterburner to breathe fire?

Taking a trip up to the UK is a must guys, just take the euro tunnel from France and you're already there! :)

I knew this event was coming 2 months ago. Curious to see ImmersionRC's new flying wing during the Europe trip, along with the XuGong Pro :)

It's funny how Americans always talk about Europe for all these different countries. ;-D So enjoy your trip. A visit to the Alps is a great idea. So sad, this year there's no "Axalp fliegerschiessen" You would have loved it.
If you're gonna think of having a short trip to Germany:

YOU'RE ALWALYS WOULD BE VERY WELCOME !!!!!

Germans are crazy about RC-Modeling. I've heard, that Germany is the second largest RC-market after USA - but Germany is a little bit smaller - so in my area there are 3 Clubs in a radius of only 20 km (!)

However - enjoy your trip and having a greaaat time!!!!

välkommen tillbaka, David. Kom ihåg att i Sverige är det mycket kortare till Tyskland. Dessutom, är du alltid välkommen!

here's our club in the middle of nice little hills and windmills ;-) www.lsc-kirchlinde.de

Hi guys.
Great you guys are heading over to Europe..... Even better on my door step!!! Can you let us know you route that you'll be taking? As someone has already said before the Provence region is a big area.
If you need any help please let me know, be great to help you guys out. I've blocked of the 25th and 26th of June already. I'll have to get my planes finished off for then...

More info and let me know if you need any help.

you should definitely go gliding or FPVing in the alps. And come through southern germany for that ;)
there are some very interesting flight realted museums (e.g. Zeppelin-Museum at the Bodensee and Flugwerft Schleißheim, near Munich) and lots of Rc Clubs around here.

I just planned my vacation to be there in June. As everyone, where in Provence do you plan to go ?
I am from Bordeaux, so if anyone near Bordeaux is planning to go, maybe we can share the car.

I'll definitely try my best to be there for an European meetup (especially since I live in southern France... Not exactly Provence, but not far).

There are gorgeous areas there, great spot for a road trip :)

Any more news on European distribution of FT parts etc?

Balu on April 10, 2014
I'm not sure if I'm able to come. It's still quite a ride from Germany to the Provence.

I'll have to check if I can get cheap plane tickets or something. But for that I'd need to know where in the Provence the meeting will take place.

If i find a sponsor, will you come to Germany for a few days too? :-)

I'm considering to go as well. But all will depend on the exact time and place as I have to book some flight and hotel in advance.
